Push yourself to think differently | Thor Drake | TEDxPortland

Описание: Who uses the scientific method to solve problems anyways? Not Thor Drake. This Talk is one part hilarious and two parts authentic and inspiring. Thor shares his creative process on how to approach challenges, build things and get things done.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

The pull of the Pacific Northwest was strong on Thor, who was born in Norway and raised in Arizona. With a nose for adrenaline, he spent his early life as a daredevil on land and snow. He became a sponsored snowboarder at the age of 16, had creative pit stops at Nike and Wieden + Kennedy, and today owns and operates See See Motor Coffee Co. He also created The One Motorcycle Show - the most prolific motorcycle show in the PNW. His philosophy: If he can dream it, he can build it.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
