When you hear the word "creative", 

00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:08.650
you might think of a painter, 

00:00:08.650 --> 00:00:10.675
or a playwright, or an author, 

00:00:10.675 --> 00:00:14.400
or a photographer, or a filmmaker, or a chef.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.375
In other words, you might think of people who make things. 

00:00:18.425 --> 00:00:19.700
I think it's what we mean 

00:00:19.725 --> 00:00:22.700
when we use a label like "creative type". 

00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:25.700
But there is no such thing as a creative type. 

00:00:25.700 --> 00:00:27.500
We are all creative. 

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:28.750
Every one of us. 

00:00:28.750 --> 00:00:33.025
We just need a bigger definition of creativity.

00:00:33.025 --> 00:00:36.875
Yes, creativity involves making things. 

00:00:36.875 --> 00:00:40.700
But it can also mean mashing up ideas in innovative ways. 

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:43.625
It can mean thinking differently about data 

00:00:43.625 --> 00:00:47.275
and finding unique solutions to practical problems. 

00:00:47.275 --> 00:00:51.675
It can mean hacking systems and tweaking things in unusual ways. 

00:00:51.675 --> 00:00:55.475
It can mean exploring ideas and navigating information 

00:00:55.475 --> 00:00:58.400
until you become an expert curator. 

00:00:58.400 --> 00:01:03.125
It can mean designing systems that empower the creative work of others. 

00:01:03.125 --> 00:01:06.075
It can mean creating change in the world 

00:01:06.075 --> 00:01:11.275
by speaking truth and leading movements and interacting with people.

00:01:11.275 --> 00:01:13.975
See, each of these creative approaches shape 

00:01:13.975 --> 00:01:16.725
our world in profound ways. 

00:01:16.725 --> 00:01:19.775
And the more we see the creativity all around us, 

00:01:19.775 --> 00:01:24.975
the more we are able to appreciate the creativity inside ourselves.
