Ben Hoyer, founder of Orlando's only non-profit coffee shop -- Downtown Credo -- talks about his personal philosophy.




   Ben Hoyer is the founder and director of Downtown Credo, a non-profit focused on improving the quality of lives in our nation's cities by cultivating networks of meaning, impact and community. Halfway through its second year, Downtown Credo has established five partner charities, opened a donations-only coffee shop, and is preparing to set up shop their second city, Austin, TX. New to the non-profit world, Ben does not claim to be an expert at much except the CREDO. It is a statement of belief that calls folks to action and seeks to improve their quality of life. 


About TEDx, x= independently organized event
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.*
