Short Story. Rick Gulliver is the president of HUB International. He entered insurance after making a bet with his dad that he (1) can make some money, (2) make it in insurance, and (3) be successful. That was in 1977. He found an old chicken takeout building in a great location that smelled like fried chicken. He then turned the place into his office. Also, he had a 3-drawer filing cabinet that was, well, empty. So he created file folders and filled them with paper towels. And the rest is history. Sometimes you just have to fake it, till you make it. Play here.
