2     At the office Christmas party his colleagues introduced him as ‘the guy who brings in the bagels’ (instead of ‘the head of the public research group’).

3     It started as a way of thanking his employees when they won a contract. Every Friday he bought in bagels and cream cheese.

4     People from other departments wanted bagels, too. Finally, he was bringing in so many bagels that he needed to charge to cover his costs. 95% of people paid.

5     His friends thought he was mad (‘lost his mind’). His wife supported him.

6     Within a few years he was delivering thousands of bagels (8,400) a week to many companies (140).

7     He discovered how honest his customers were and what kind of people and companies stole more or less.
