Mike Pell: Innovation should feel obvious

What if the best innovations don’t feel clever… they feel inevitable?

In this episode of Who’s Elvis Round Here, Chris sits down with the legendary Mike Pell - inventor of the font menu, co-creator of PDF, and now global lead of the Microsoft Garage.

We dive into:
• Why real innovation is never incremental
• How irritation, emotion, and curiosity spark breakthroughs
• Why leaders have to let go of what made them successful
• And how human ingenuity is far more powerful than any process

This is a conversation about seeing what others don’t, creating the conditions for genius, and why the best ideas make everyone say: “How could it ever have been any other way?”

If you care about culture, creativity, and unlocking extraordinary people — you’re in the right place.
