I had the pleasure to spend some time with Mark Cerny many years ago. He was honestly one of the most impressive people I have ever met. Down to earth and so, so smart. I also think it speaks volumes for Sony as a company that an American born video game developer (engineer not mba) has such an influential position. They are not insular and respect the craft.

There are colleagues of mines that called me the smartest person they ever met and I feel so stupid, how do you make the most of what you are given?
