20. Navigating the Pursuit of Perfection with the Bagel Man Himself

Published: Oct. 20, 2020, 11:57 a.m.

In episode 20, we chat with Brad Newkirk, owner of B&B Bagel, who actually jokingly refers to himself as Bagel Man given the thousands (and perhaps over a million) made-from-scratch bagels he has served over the last twenty years.

Alongside a hearty discussion over the magic behind the success of the bagels themselves, we were able to touch on a handful of meaningful topics we think you’ll find encouraging in terms of your own pursuit of legacy.

To give you an abbreviated list, you’ll hear banter about:

• Brad’s love for daily interaction with people and how that fuels his passion to exceed expectations
• his perspective on standards and how high they should be
• the pursuit of perfection each and every day
• the importance of showing up on time and a good work ethic
• the value of family and being a good man above all else

On a lighter note, we found out that Brad enjoys running most without headphones - a countercultural approach to consuming all the podcast noise we can in 2020. Another fun thing we he said? Don’t be afraid to ask the prettiest girl in the room to dance.

If that’s not legacy, we don’t know what is.

If you’re enjoying the FinalVibe podcast, we couldn’t be happier. As a small token of thanks, would you be willing to give us a positive review on your streaming platform of choice? We sure would appreciate it. Have a great week, everyone.
