Author, Trust Is A Double-Edged Sword: Trust Me

This week, Ira spoke with Jeffrey Meshel, author of Trust Is A Double-Edged Sword: Trust Me. In this trustworthy episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Jeffrey talks about the personal and business relationship that fell apart and resulted in this book; why he wants us all to be much more aware than we are; why trust in this country is at an all-time low; how trust is at the core of our lives; why we are responsible for what we do; and the importance of never going against your gut feelings.

Jeffrey Meshel has owned and run numerous business ventures, including three real estate companies that are each more than 35 years old. He is also a business book author who has been featured on The Today Show.

He is co-founder/managing partner of Candor Capital Partners. He is also is a partner with, and co-founder of, LUX Miami.

“Bagels are the only bread that are boiled before baked. Once the bagel dough is shaped into a circle, they are dipped in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. After that, they are drained and baked for about 10 minutes.”

Bagels have been to space! “It’s safe to say that the treats from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal are out of this world. In 2008, Astronaut Greg Chamitoff boarded Discovery for a 14-day flight into space. Accompanying him? Eighteen bagels from Fairmount, a shop owned by his aunt.”

“The word Bagel comes from the German word “bougel,” meaning “bracelet,” and by way of the Yiddish “beygl” which means “ring.” So, if it is not in the shape of a ring or bracelet, it is NOT a bagel.”

“What sets bagels apart from other types of bread is the fact that they are boiled. Some imitations are steamed, but they do not have the same chewy and crunchy crust and are not true bagels.”

“The first beugel bakeries were founded in New York City in the 1920s. Later the name was changed and called a bagel.”

“The hole in the middle of your bagel is no mistake. In fact, this bread was baked with a hole so vendors could slide them on to dowel rods, making it easy to transport them to wherever they would be selling their bagel that day.”

“Bagels are the only bread that are boiled before they are baked.”

World Champion Competitive Eater Joey Chestnut won Siegel’s Bagelmania Bagel Eating Competition in Las Vegas January 13, winning the title, a championship belt and $5,000 of the total $10,000 prize pool.
