Here’s an interesting story… MindMax came in second in an RFP selection, and we didn’t get the business. But then, a year later, something surprising happened. The school got back in touch and wanted to work with us. When we asked for feedback on why they didn’t choose us in the first place, the answer was intriguing. The school initially selected an alternative higher education marketing company that provided a detailed roadmap to guaranteed success.

Activism is hardly optional in today’s world. I feel the calling in my bones. My family is deeply Jewish, with both Sephardic and Ashkenazic roots, and taught me the core lessons of tikkun olam (repair the world), tzedakah (create justice), g’milut chasadim (engage in loving kindness), pikuach nefesh (life matters), and ometz lev (courage). These values anchored my identity even as the academy challenged it, trying to make me quieter, smaller, and less effective.
