Today on Mamish Mavericks, Tov Breslow welcomed Jennifer Glass, CEO of Business Growth Strategies International. Jennifer shared insights into her journey as a business owner, the importance of community-mindedness, and how having a book can create more opportunities in business. Based in New Jersey, Jennifer’s company focuses on helping businesses enhance efficiency, profitability, and growth through coaching, payment processing, marketing, and review management.
Jennifer emphasized the significance of aligning business goals with personal values, particularly her commitment to tikkun olam (repairing the world) and supporting small businesses globally. She discussed her aspiration to become President of the United States, aiming to make a substantial difference in people’s lives by fostering economic growth and community development.
A key topic was the value of writing books for entrepreneurs. Having authored four books and contributed to anthologies, Jennifer explained that publishing establishes authority and expertise, making authors more appealing to media outlets and potential clients. Books serve as oversized business cards, enhancing credibility and creating market-dominating positions.
Another highlight was the distinction between a “dollars and cents mindset” and a “millionaire mindset,” where time is valued over money. This perspective encourages businesses to focus on long-term growth rather than immediate financial gain.
Finally, Jennifer underscored the benefits of being community-minded, including increased top-of-mind awareness and reciprocal support within local and affinity communities. Her experiences with nonprofit organizations illustrated how giving back often leads to unexpected opportunities and rewards, echoing Jewish principles like tzedakah.

Key Takeaways:
1. Writing Books Builds Authority: Publishing establishes credibility, attracts media attention, and creates unique selling propositions.
2. Mindset Matters: Shifting from a “dollars and cents” to a “millionaire mindset” prioritizes time as the ultimate currency.
3. Community Engagement Pays Off: Active participation in communities fosters relationships, boosts visibility, and generates mutual benefits.
4. Leverage Reviews for Growth: Encouraging customer feedback enhances trust and drives business success.
5. Values Drive Impact: Aligning business practices with personal values, such as tikkun olam, amplifies positive societal contributions.
In this episode of Mamish Mavericks, hosts Maynard and Tov Breslow welcome Ilana Parach, COO of Hoops 4Justice, to discuss juvenile justice reform and the organization’s impactful initiatives. Hoops for Justice is a young organization focusing on in-facility programs that combine basketball with guided conversations and life skills development for incarcerated youth. They also engage formerly incarcerated mentors to support these young individuals.
Ilana shares her journey into this field, driven by witnessing biased policing and systemic injustices during her youth in Michigan. Her experiences inspired her to pursue political science studies and later co-found Hoops for Justice. The organization aims to fill service gaps within the juvenile justice system, aligning closely with Jewish values like Tikkun Olam—repairing the world. Alana connects this mission to her Jewish identity, emphasizing the importance of healing root problems rather than merely hiding them away.
The conversation delves into LA County’s ongoing juvenile justice reforms, including restorative justice models and community-based approaches. Alana highlights the need for personalized care, acknowledging the trauma many youth face before entering the system. She stresses the ineffectiveness of punitive measures and advocates for understanding brain development in adolescents when crafting policies.
Hoops for Justice employs strategies such as establishing core values early on, fostering a culture of lifelong learning, and prioritizing team dynamics reflective of their program goals. Despite challenges like fundraising, which none of the team had prior experience in, they’ve relied on community networks and creative resourcefulness to sustain their work.
Listeners can learn more about Hoops 4 Justice at hoops4justice.org or reach out to Ilana directly for volunteering opportunities. An upcoming documentary by one of their team members promises to shed light on the human stories behind juvenile incarceration. For Ilana, success means contributing meaningfully to a healthy, supportive community—a testament to her dedication and vision for transformative change.

In this episode of Mamish Mavericks, Maynard and Tov Breslow welcome Zale Tabakman, President of Local Grown Salads. The conversation dives into the world of indoor vertical farming and how it is revolutionizing food production.
Local Grown Salads uses cutting-edge technology to grow vegetables indoors, solving logistical and environmental challenges faced by traditional agriculture. This method allows for fresh produce to be grown in urban centers like Toronto or New York City, drastically reducing transportation costs and carbon footprints.
Key takeaways:
Indoor Vertical Farming: Zale explains that his company specializes in commercial-scale indoor farming using vertical towers illuminated by LEDs. These systems can operate anywhere with a power source, from Arctic climates to deserts.
Market Focus: While not suitable for all regions (like Israel due to its favorable climate), this technology shines in vast countries such as the U.S., where transporting perishable goods over long distances increases costs and spoilage rates.
Business Model: Unlike competitors who may price their products higher, Local Grown Salads aims to match conventional pricing while offering fresher, pesticide-free options. Their model includes selling directly to local distributors rather than retail chains.
Visionary Goals: Zale envisions establishing 200 farms globally within two years, targeting major clients like McDonald’s for consistent, high-quality produce across locations worldwide.
Sustainability & Ethics: Emphasizing sustainable development goals, Zale highlights creating living-wage jobs and reducing pollution through innovative practices. He believes humanity progresses collectively when individuals contribute responsibly toward solving global issues like climate change.
Networking Strategy: Leveraging platforms like LinkedIn, Zale actively seeks strategic partnerships—real estate investors, tech collaborators, and off-take agreement partners—to scale operations efficiently.
Tune in to learn more about transforming agriculture sustainably! Visit localgrownsalads.com or connect with Zale on LinkedIn to explore opportunities in indoor farming.
