]]> Sweet Beginnings During the Pandemic: Nowhere Bakery was born out of Maurizio and Saphira Rasti’s quest for delicious yet wholesome desserts during the pandemic. Faced with a lack of options that met their standards for both taste and clean ingredients, they decided to create their own sweet treats, leading to the inception of Nowhere Bakery in March 2020.

From Contractor to Creator: Before diving into the world of desserts, Maurizio Rasti worked as a contractor for Incubate Pictures. Armed with a degree in marketing from The Ohio State University, Maurizio ventured into entrepreneurship with Nowhere Bakery, showcasing his versatility and entrepreneurial spirit.

Baking Brilliance and Health Consciousness: Saphira Rasti, hailing from Costa Mesa, California, brings over a decade of baking and personal chef experience to Nowhere Bakery. Her journey to crafting delectable desserts took a turn towards health-consciousness after grappling with severe gut issues and subsequent health complications in her 20s.

A Fusion of Expertise: Saphira’s background in nutritional medicine and health coaching, coupled with Maurizio’s marketing acumen, forms the backbone of Nowhere Bakery’s mission to offer desserts free from dairy, gluten, refined sugar, and oils while ensuring they remain irresistibly delicious. Their shared passion for sweets and dedication to wholesome ingredients drive their innovative creations.

A recipe straight from Saphira for Gluten Free Banana Bread:

Wet Ingredients:
3 small spotty bananas
3 eggs
1/4 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
3 tbsp ground flax seeds mixed with 6 tbsp warm water
1 tsp Orange extract (or sub for vanilla)
1/3 cup coconut sugar

Dry Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup gluten free flour (I used @bobsredmill 1:1)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F conv bake
In a large bowl mash bananas
Whisk in remaining wet ingredients
Add dry ingredients and mix well leaving the walnuts and chocolate chips till last
Pour batter into a lined loaf tin
Bake for 45-50 mins
Let cool before slicing and devouring

Family-Centered Entrepreneurship: Beyond their entrepreneurial endeavors, Maurizio and Saphira prioritize family. They are proud parents to a charming baby boy and infuse their passion for food into family traditions, like dressing up as chefs for Halloween. Their journey on Shark Tank not only highlights their business acumen but also their commitment to creating a better, healthier world, one dessert at a time.

]]> Glove Wrap is a patent pending family business in Southern California, created by a father, son, and daughter that love the game of baseball and softball.  The company will debut on Shark Tank Season 15 episode #3 on October 13, 2023.  

Here is how Glove Wrap works.  When you buy a new baseball glove it often is hard for it to be broken in, similar to buying new dress shoes. Take the glove, put the baseball in the pocket on the glove then use the Glove wrap to wrap both together tightly.  Leave it overnight and then unwrap the next day.  You can repeat as often as you need.  

This product works with softball and hockey goalie gloves.  

The product is on sale for $19.99 but normally runs at $24.95. 

Founder Jon Batarse’s son, Gavin is a big go getter and you can see him introducing his product to pro baseball players.  He went to the game for the Anaheim Angels including Mike Moustakas, Brett Phillips, Eduardo Escobar, and Brandon Drury.  He also met and introduced his product to Dodgers’ manager David Roberts.  

The Batarse family is made of Jon and his wife plus their three children including two girls and one son, Gavin.  

They’re working on another product which is called “Glove Rub.”  It is made with all natural, hand-crafted product to help soften your glove.  

Jon Batarse posted a video saying Glove Wrap was flying off the shelves at Orange County Sports Equipment and was encouraging people to buy their Glove Wrap in time for fall ball.  

On being on Shark Tank, here is what they had to say:

“Shark Tank is a show that we love watching as a family.  Not only is it entertaining, it also teaches so many lessons about business and life – The value of hard work and creativity, going after your dreams, and being brave and confident under pressure.  How cool is it that we now get to watch our own family in the tank, knowing the amount of hard work and determination it’s taken to get there.  We are so grateful for the opportunity to do all this together.”

]]> Kylie Rubin is a junior at girls school in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.  At the school the girls all dress in plaid tunics and plaid kilts.  While she is quite quiet in the school her life on the outside.  

She was asked how she balances her very different lives in school and out-of-school.  In the interview with hourglassnewspaper.com she said “If I am being completely honest, finding a balance is difficult at times, but I work everyday at it.  Of course, like and kid, I want to do all the fun things and live that out-of-school life whenever I can, but I know that that choice is not the right answer when looking at the bigger picture, when looking at the future I want to build for myself.

Especially with 11th grade, school and everything is so hard, and it’s difficult to make the right choice and not go take a break from school.  But I force myself to power through the hard work because I know I need to prioritize setting myself up for the future I want – and I see myself achieving that future by working hard at school.”  

She spoke about others who perhaps have never heard the word “no.”  She is very mature and wise beyond her years saying, “What will they have to look forward to if they have no sense of appreciation now?”

Kylie is very close to a life long friend, Sabine since they were young children and went to the same private all girls school.  

Kylie enjoys spending her summers in the Hamptons.  You can see her in Bridgehampton, New York with a friend in front of the ocean.  

She is very close to her father, Michael Rubin and posted a birthday message to him saying, “Happy birthday to the best dad and my biggest inspiration!”  Michael Rubin responded, “Love you so much!!  You’re the best daughter in the world!  Lucky to be your dad!”

Kylie also loves to go to basketball games with her family and little sisters.  

She hangs out with celebrities including Kendall Jenner and Kevin Hart.  

Looks like Kylie enjoys surfing too!  She was trying to find just the right one while on the beach in Hawaii.

Michael went to Villanova University and is also the Co-Chair of Reform Alliance 

Michael Rubin shared an important lesson he learned about owning a business and that is to “own your mistakes.”  It quickly spread on the internet when some fans received Philadelphia Eagles fans received their jerseys with a crooked number on them.  He took to Instagram to let those who received the bad shirts he would make it right.  It turned out it was only a dozen people who received the crooked shirt.  However Michael feels, “One bad product and one unhappy customer is one too many.”  

As the co-chair of Reform which was started less than 5 years ago, Rubin proudly states he has passed 17 pieces of bipartisan legislation in 11 states which creates pathways for 700K people to transition out of the justice system and into work.  They held a Casino night which brought in $24M which was very star studded including appearances by Tom Brady, Jay-Z, Matthew McConaughey, A-Rod and many more.

He likes to hold talks with the Fanatics athletes inviting big time athletes in to give incredible aspiration from people such as Tom Brady and Travis Scott.  In the talk they spoke about ways to build their careers on and off the field.  

Fanatics keeps growing.  In April they purchased Italian Sports Merchandiser, Api thereby adding several Serie A football Clubs.   

He loves his sports card shows though and is often found at them.  He went to one in Philadelphia and said he loved meeting and learning from so many collectors and sports fans.  

Earlier in 2023 Michael’s Fanatics hired a former Snap and Google executive to head its new live-shopping division.  He said he built his $31 billion sports retail giant by looking at potential opportunities through the lens of three questions:  Is it good for fans?  Is it good for Fanatics partners?  Is it a big enough business opportunity?
