His childhood was filled with making things - inspired by his Swiss ancestors’ stories of watch and camera making. His parents were incredibly resourceful, whether it was opening a shop together or repurposing curtains when the local cinema closed. This pioneering spirit is something that Jay has carried with him throughout his career - from his studies at RCA where he met long-time business partner and friend, Ed Barber, to designing the 2012 Olympic Torch, to revolutionizing how people work remotely with Soft Work seating. Now, 25+ years into design, Jay reveals the triumphs and tragedies that lined his path and forged his character with candor, humor, and an unflagging optimism that burns bright and steady like the inextinguishable flame of the Olympic Torch.</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.cleverpodcast.com/blog/ep-163-jay-osgerby\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Images, links and more from Jay Osgerby!</a></p><p><br></p><p>Clever is hosted &amp; produced by<a href=\"https://www.cleverpodcast.com/about\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Amy Devers</a>, with editing by<a href=\"https://www.markzurawinskimusic.com/audio-work.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Mark Zurawinski,</a> production assistance from Ilana Nevins and Anouchka Stephan, and music by<a href=\"https://www.elteneleven.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> El Ten Eleven</a>.</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.cleverpodcast.com/subscribe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">SUBSCRIBE</a> - listen to Clever on any podcast app!</p><p><a href=\"https://www.cleverpodcast.com/subscribe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">SIGN UP</a> - for our Substack for news, bonus content, new episode alerts</p><p><a href=\"https://www.cleverpodcast.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">VISIT</a> - cleverpodcast.com for transcripts, images, and<a href=\"https://www.cleverpodcast.com/all-pisodes\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> 200+ more episodes</a></p><p>SAY HI! - on<a href=\"https://bit.ly/4jEzIz3\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Instagram</a> &amp;<a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/clever-podcast/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> LinkedIn</a> @cleverpodcast @amydevers</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Amy Devers"}
