Welcome to CORE 10, an off-the-cuff interview series with prominent CORE figures. Read on to learn more about this week’s guest, Founder & CEO Shaun Osher!
- Who is the living person you most admire? Brittley Wise.
- Who is the most interesting New Yorker you know? The polite homeless man who sits on the corner every day asking if I can “spare any change.”
- What is your earliest New York memory? Arriving on 48th Street to look at all the music stores and meeting Dave Sanborn at “Alex’s sax shop” on the 2nd Floor.
- What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Embrace failure.
- What do you consider your greatest achievement so far? Learning how to juggle (metaphorically speaking.)
- What are your three most treasured possessions? I treasure my relationships with people I know and love. But people are not possessions, so as far as inanimate objects go, I feel very fortunate to own my saxophones, a beautiful Triumph Thruxton Motorcycle and a diamond tie-pin that my grandfather left me (even though I rarely wear a tie.)
- Name a movie, book or work of art that changed your life. The Collection by Charlie Parker.
- What’s your greatest extravagance? I like to travel and explore new places as often as possible.
- What’s your secret talent? I used to be a pretty good tap dancer.
- Which words or phrases do you most overuse? “Make it so.”
