[♪ INTRO ]

You're probably familiar with the concept of self-harm.

When you see it in books, movies, and TV shows, it's usually portrayed as some troubled

person seeking a physical outlet for their emotional pain.

But that's only part of the story.

Self-harm, or what psychologists call non-suicidal self-injury, isn't just physical.

People can hurt themselves in all kinds of ways — including, as it turns out, through the anonymity of the internet.

Finding coping strategies is crucial for taking care of your mental health.

But first, you have to be able to recognize when there's something wrong.

And because digital self-harm is still a pretty new concept, people who hurt themselves this

way might not even realize that what they're doing really is self-harm.

There are lots of reasons people might feel an urge to hurt themselves.

Usually, it's because they're trying to release extreme negative feelings that come

from other mental health issues, like depression or low self-esteem.

Often, people who self-harm say they want to punish themselves, or relieve unbearable mental tension.

And for some, it does lead to a few moments of relief.

So they keep doing it.

But hurting yourself does nothing to address the underlying problems or feelings of hurt, which can get worse and worse over time.

It's just … causing harm.

The classic picture of self-harm involves physical injuries, like cuts and bruises,

but it can be much more subtle than that — to the point that people don't even realize they're doing it.

For example, overeating, or even over-exercising, can be a form of self-harm.

And now that we're in the digital age, psychologists have begun to see a new type of self-harm emerge — one that isn't physical.

Digital self-harm is when you hurt yourself emotionally, using the anonymity of the internet

to make it seem like you're being attacked.

Think anonymous hate messages on platforms like Twitter or Tumblr, but instead of getting

them from some random troll, you send them to yourself.

That doesn't mean every hate message you've seen online is a case of digital self-harm

— unfortunately, cyberbullying is a very real issue.

Just spend any amount of time in the comments section of a trending youtube video … you know? Actually, just don't.

But sometimes people do send hate messages to themselves.

It's surprisingly common.

One 2017 study from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire,

which involved nearly 6,000 American middle and high school students, found that 6% had anonymously attacked themselves with mean comments online.

There was a slight difference between sexs, with about 7.1% of males and 5.3% of females saying they'd done it.

And an earlier study from 2012 on about 600 students found that around 10% had some experience with digital self-harm.

About half of those 10% said they did it very rarely, while the other half said they did it pretty often.

A quarter of them had sent themselves hate online for months at a time.

If you don't have much experience with digital self-harm, this might be kind of hard to understand.

I mean, the person doing it knows they're the one who sent the message, so what's the point?

Well, as you can probably imagine, there's no one simple explanation that fits everyone who sends themselves anonymous online hate.

But like with physical self-harm, it's generally a way to express their negative feelings about themselves.

And researchers have found some more specific themes, too.

Also like physical self-harm, digital self-harm is associated with depressive symptoms, as

well as marginalizing factors like sexuality, drug use, and being bullied.

Then there's the social media problem.

We'd need a whole separate episode to get into the details, but researchers are finding

all kinds of connections between social media and mental health issues.

Among other things, as more and more of our socializing is done online, it's gotten easier to become isolated.

As much as social media is meant to connect us, it can leave us feeling pretty alone, too.

And when people feel disconnected from others, they're more likely to develop negative

feelings about themselves, or have depression or anxiety.

In a 2017 paper from the University of Manchester, researchers examined data from 2014 and found

a massive increase in the number of teenage girls who reported self-harming.

77 out of every 10,000 girls practice self-harmed that year, as opposed to 46 out of 10,000 in the years leading up to 2014.

That's an increase of 68%.

The team suggested that part of the change might just come from increased awareness of self-harm

— and therefore increased reporting of it.

But they argued that psychological pressure from social media was probably an important factor, too.

This study didn't break things down into physical and digital self-harm, but it's

but it's not too hard to imagine that added pressure from social media could lead to more self-harm via social media.

So, this all tells us a little bit about how people use digital self-harm as a coping mechanism.

But what about the people who do it specifically because they want people to notice?

Thinking about self-harm this way can be dangerous, because it's sometimes used to dismiss a sign that someone really needs help.

But some researchers think there are cases where digital self-harm is, at least in part,

a way for someone to get concern, attention, and admiration for their ability to cope.

It might even be a digital version of what's commonly known as Munchausen's syndrome,

although its clinical name these days is factitious disorder.

That's where someone fakes an illness to get care and attention from others.

But when they get that concern, or admiration from others for their strength, it can actually

mitigate some of their negative emotions and make them feel better.

So regardless of the motivation, it really comes down to the same thing

— using self-harm as a way to deal with overwhelming feelings.

We still need more studies to figure out how best to identify, reach, and treat people who use digital self-harm.

But in the meantime, increasing awareness of it helps, too.

In the end, it doesn't really matter what form it takes — self-harm is self-harm.

At best, it's an unhealthy coping mechanism, and at worst, it can be dangerous.

But by recognizing the problem and getting help, you can learn better ways to deal with your feelings,

and resolve the underlying issues that make you want to send yourself anonymous hate.

Meet Frank G. Hamilton, MD, Family Medicine | Ascension Oklahoma - Duration: 2:09.

I'm Frank Hamilton, I'm a physician, a family physician and I practice at Family Medical

Care, which is a St. John Clinic, clinic.

I do primary care, I'm the medical director and we're also involved in education.

When I was a boy, a young boy, I always said I wanted to be a doctor.

So I think it was probably in my being, and I think actually my mom probably wanted to

be a doctor, maybe.

As I got older, I kinda went a little different direction in college, but really did determine

that that probably was the best fit for me.

I was always good in science, I like people, and I like to work with people and help people.

So, I think that that ended up being the best fit for me.

I think that I am a good listener and also, I like to teach.

And so we're involved in education, so I kind of approach my patients almost as if they

are a student and I need to explain to them what's going on in their care.

And I find that people like that.

They really appreciate that, so.

And I think that that helps to engender trust, to let them know that I really care about

them, that I'm invested in them and I think that's been a real important part of being

successful in practice.

We like to travel.

So, we're actually, my wife and I are now 'empty nesters,' so, our grandkids live in

Arizona, so we've been making a number of trips to Arizona.

We also like to travel internationally.

We've kinda been, both on some mission trips as well as some just pleasure trips, and around

the country.

I like to bicycle.

I like photography, golf, reading, and just spending time with family as well.

Meet Robert G. Niebergall, MD, FACP, Internal Medicine and Geriatrics | Ascension Oklahoma - Duration: 2:04.

I am Dr. Niebergall, I do internal medicine and geriatrics.

I'd like the potential patient to know that I'm old school, that I will look at them,

that I will listen to them.

I will not be pushed by a clock or time or an interruption, I will excuse myself, I will

come back if I have to answer the phone, and I will listen.

Because if you listen to the patient they will tell you 90% of what you need to know.

I've been around, I've worked for 36 years.

I still enjoy it.

I'm one of the dinosaurs that has not retired, I make sure that IT visits me at least on

a monthly basis to keep me up to date, kind of like the continuing medical education but

it's up to date IT, so that I can keep up with the millennials because they're fast

coming behind me.

Many of my colleagues are retiring because they just don't wanna put up with it.

I still enjoy it, and as long as I can wag my IT tail and be competitive, I'm gonna do

it.

Outside of the office I have a wood shop in my garage.

I use wooden fingers so that I don't have to have any contact with surgeons.

God gave me a right brain to work and build or rebuild many things, and other than cars

and electronics I can usually fix just about anything if it's built of wood.

Aimee Stephens: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com - Duration: 7:00.

Aimee Stephens: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

Aimee Stephens is a transgender woman whose lawsuit against a former employer might be reviewed by the Supreme Court.

If this does happen, Stephens' case might become a landmark case for lesbian, gay and transgender rights in the office space.

Here's what you need to know.

Stephens Was Fired After She Emailed Her Company Telling Them She Intended to Transition.

According to CNN, Stephens was fired after she sent an email to her employer, R&G and G&R Harris Funeral Homes, a family-owned business in Detroit.

Stephens was subsequently told by her boss, a devout Christian, that "her situation was not going to work out," according to court documents.

Stephens was offered a severance package, but she refused it.

Leading up to Her Firing, Stephens Had Six Years of Positive Employee Reviews to Her Name.

CNN reports that Stephens had six years of positive employee reviews and regular raise bumps to her name prior to being fired.

Stephens began working in funeral homes in her 20s, helping to make sure that the deceased were shown in their best light for services and funerals.

Of her employer's response to her transitioning, Stephens said to CNN, "I always knew there was a chance they would go off the deep end, but I was really hoping they would be more tolerant of my decision.

Losing my job was like a punch in the gut.".

Stephens' Wife, Donna, Took on Extra Jobs to Support Them in the Wake of the Firing.

After Stephens lost her job, her health began to deteriorate due to kidney failure and she was unable to find other work.

Stephens' wife, Donna, who supported her throughout her transition, took on extra jobs, according to CNN.

The couple also sold their van, a piano, and their camper in order to make ends meet.

Stephens decided to take her case public after a near-death experience in 2017. "What they did to me was wrong, and I won't be the last," Stephens said to CNN.

"It's important that we treat one another as we would want to be treated.

Religious freedom doesn't give you the right to override other people's freedoms.".

Thomas Rost, Stephens' Former Employer, Testified That He Fired Stephens Because 'She Wanted to Dress as a Woman'.

In a deposition, Rost reportedly testified that he did in fact fire Stephens as a direct result of her transition.

Specifically, he was concerned about the funeral home dress code, and how Stephens' transition would affect restroom etiquette.

Rost claimed that as a christian, he believed that "sex is immutable," and that Stephens' "proposal" would be breaking the dress code, because a man would be dressing as a woman, rather than wearing the required suit and tie that men needed.

What's more, Rost was allegedly concerned about Stephens sharing a bathroom with customers.

Ross said he believed "he 'would be violating God's commands' if a male representative of Harris Homes presented himself as a woman while representing the company.

16 States Have Filed a Brief Asking the Supreme Court to Support the Decision of the Funeral Home.

According to CNN, 16 states have filed a brief as of August 23, asking the Supreme Court to "restore the balance of power in our federal system.

" The brief says,.

"Congress clearly knows there is a distinction between sex and gender identity.

It has used both terms at the same time (indicating they are not interchangeable), and it has thus far declined to add gender identity to Title VII.

Unless and until Congress affirmatively acts, our Constitution leaves to the states the authority to determine which protections, or not, should flow to individuals based on gender identity.

The 6th Circuit ignored this fact and essentially rewrote federal law, engaging in policy experimentation.".

It's not yet clear if the Supreme Court will hear the case.

As for Stephens, she has said of the potential to reach the Supreme Court,  "The 6th Circuit was a great decision on behalf of transgender people and their rights.

The court made it clear that you can't use religious beliefs to discriminate against people, and it made clear that we have rights under federal law. But what if the court strikes it down? That's a day I can't imagine.".

What CS:GO's cheating problem means for the game, and how the community has tried to fix it - Duration: 9:01.

CS:GO is not a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination. It has its issues from tick rate,

(Stream)

To smurfing

(Stream)

To toxicity.

(Stream)

But none of these issues stack up to Counter-Strike's biggest problem.

Cheating.

(Stream)

So we all know that cheating sucks,

and what's even worse is that it often feels like Valve isn't actually doing anything about it.

CS:GO's lack of an intrusive anti-cheat system has left a lot of people without any faith

in the existing VAC system.

See, CS:GO is a really attractive game to cheat in, partly because of its snappy combat.

Here's a Valve at a GDC talk in 2018

"The design is this very satisfying combat experience where almost any weapon in the game can be a

one-shot kill

But that does also sort of fail to disincentivize cheating."

The game is also relatively cheap and easy to run compared to games like Call of Duty or Battlefield.

It's also extremely easy to start up a new account once one of your old ones gets banned.

So there are a lot of cheaters.

According to SteamDB, thousands of people get VAC banned every single day,

and when a wave hits,

60 thousand people can get hit by the ban hammer all at once.

It's at the point where real great plays from honest players are being called out

as an example of a cheater who hasn't been caught yet.

"It's the same pattern. He locks on the enemy that starts doing his weird f*cking shape.

This one's right on crisp clean lock boys."

So, what does Valve do to combat cheating. The current system works on two fronts.

The first is VAC, which looks for identified and installed cheating programs, and also checks the game files

to make sure nothing's been tampered with.

The other front is Overwatch.

Overwatch lets a selected group watch a reported players matches to determine if they're cheating or not.

If enough people vote that the player is a hacker they get hit by the banhammer

But that existing system is exactly why cheating has flourished in CS:GO.

So Valve began developing VACNet in 2016 after

massive community outrage regarding the cheating issue.

"Only thing the community was talking about was cheating.

It was this just deafening conversation."

They silently deployed it at the beginning of 2017.

"Here we deployed VACnet and you can see hey we started getting more convictions, that's great."

VACnet is a deep learning tool that works to get as many people into the Overwatch system as possible.

"VACnet gets a conviction when

it submits a case it convicts 80 to 95 percent of the time."

Valve also developed a trust score system

designed to put cheaters in matches with other cheaters.

This makes sure that they play with each other while clean players play with other clean players.

In theory as VACnet gets rolling and

more and more cheaters get banned the game should feel more fair

That's because when those cheaters return to the game,

they'll all be matched up against each other due to their trust score

But the issue is that the game's top players have already left Valve's matchmaking system.

And while they'll be under VACnet's watchful eye it all seems like too little too late.

The community has found something of a solution to the cheating that runs rampant

on Valve's official matchmaking servers.

ESEA and Faceit offer

third-party pay to play servers with robust anti-cheat systems.

FaceIt even has a free version with a lot of the same benefits.

Neither Valve nor ESEA or Faceit want to show their hands

and reveal exactly how their anti-cheats work, which makes sense.

If no one knows how the anti-cheat works then cheaters will never be able to beat it

What we do know is that both ESEA and Faceit use intrusive anti cheats,

which check what else is going on in your computer while you're playing, and Valve uses a much

simpler system.

"ESEA can f*cking watch porn with me. Let me tell you dude

I could f***ing pull up a porn thing and some f***ing dev over at ESEA can watch it with me

having a grand ol' time. It's very intrusive.

So they have to let you know that it's very intrusive.

They can tell you exactly what the f*** you're doing on your comp homie."

And that's not the only reason that CS:GO players have switched over. Faceit and ESEA boast servers with

128 tick. The rate at which the server refreshes.

That's double what Valve has and something the community has wanted for a long time.

There's also a general

understanding that players are going to be less toxic and more serious on these services

because they're often paying for the right to play.

Now that's not always the case, toxicity usually finds a way to seep through.

(Stream)

And Rank S and FPL, the top ranks on the servers, don't have a lot of spots to go around.

Which means only the best players get to have that experience.

But overall third-party software provides the best experience for CS:GO pros to play against other pros.

Faceit and ESEA even offer payout for the top performers in each region at the end of the season.

This system affects real players from Silver to Global from Rank D minus to S. From Bronze to Pro League.

No matter where you play though, if you're an unknown or a less known player,

people are more likely to assume you're cheating than that

you actually earned your rank.

And the most recent example of this is 17 year old Faceit Pro League player d0cc.

D0cc ripped his way through the Faceit ranks and made it to Pro League, all without ever using a mic.

Communication is key in high-level CS and this was pretty unusual.

(Stream)

He even streamed his games but with no camera, And again

No mic. This gave him an air of mystery that led to a lot of online

speculation about his actual skill.

On the surface d0cc is a really talented player. He's even gotten some praise from top pros.

(Stream)

But the overwhelming voice of people accusing d0cc of cheating

overshadowed his skill. Fellow Dutchman ChrisJ reached out to help d0cc prove his innocence

But he refused.

"I asked him if he could come over and play from my place

But he says he cannot come until he's 18.

It's like whatever if he doesn't want to prove himself, then it's strange to me

but I cannot force him."

d0cc eventually met up with Faceit in the Netherlands to play under supervised conditions

and prove his legitimacy so he could join the ranks of FPL.

Sure he passed but his reputation is tarnished.

If d0cc ever chooses to pursue a career in CS:GO later on in life, those accusations

of cheating or going to haunt him and d0cc's story is eerily similar to Ropz.

Ropz was an up-and-coming player in the EU FPL and just like d0cc, he had to deal with plenty of

accusations of cheating early on in his career.

"He might be cheating actually. Watch this sh*t. He does like these quick looks.

That's so weird bro. Like why are you doing that."

"And did it. He did it right after he got the kill.

I think it's just one of these things where he has an OCD twitch.

I don't think he cheats.

I don't think they're right about that, you gotta watch all his streams and see why he's looking there.

I think it's just some OCD."

The community picked apart every aspect of his play to try and prove that he was cheating.

And just like D0cc, Ropz's eventually travelled to meet with Faceit employees

and play under supervised conditions to prove his legitimacy.

He also passed and is now a pro player playing for Mousesports.

Faceit might trust our anti-cheat but after years of dealing with cheaters running rampant

on Valve's official matchmaking services,

They don't trust anyone. The lack of pros on matchmaking is a unique problem to CS:GO.

League, Dota, Overwatch, all the major esports titles have pros in the

highest echelon of their matchmaking servers.

CS:GO on the other hand is so broken that it needs third parties to come in and clean up the mess.

"To really have fun in the game and feel like you're playing anything close to what pros play.

You tend to need some third party

service, that's not really the case in League of Legends

that actually got a fairly decent ranked system. Overwatch likewise, not really the case."

But Valve is off to a good start when it comes to fixing matchmaking.

The new more efficient anti-cheat is unbelievably important for the longevity of a competitive multiplayer

game.

They can change the server and even tackling smurfing might bring a lot of players back.

But none of that is ever going to matter to the top level of players.

They've left matchmaking behind and as ESEA and Faceit are rapidly improving

there's basically no downside to playing on them. Besides some players' monthly fee.

Sure the vast majority of CS' casual audience will reap the benefits of Valve's changes,

but the pros are never coming back.

[Listen up Ji Sung, she didn't know any dance] I've never learned how to dance before the debut.

[Listening] But I'm starting to like dancing.

[It's not easy to beat someone who enjoys] Although I'm not good at it, I started

liking it and enjoying it.

[You should enjoy it] It worked when I enjoy it.

[Donhee's summary] In short, she's saying that Ji Sung should like and enjoy dancing.

How To Create A Squeeze Page that will get you a MONSTER Email List - Duration: 14:49.

- [Russell] Hey this is Russell Brunson

and welcome to Squeeze Page Funnel Secrets.

Now I wanna quickly show you how to use simple

squeeze page funnels to build an email list

of potential buyers

and then at the end of this video

I'm actually going to give you my top

converting squeeze pages for free.

But before I do that, I want to explain

to you what a squeeze page funnel is,

how it works, how it can work for your business

to grow a list of subscribers

and potential buyers

and help grow your company dramatically.

So with that said, let's jump right in.

So, what is a squeeze page funnel?

Well, a squeeze page funnel is one of the most

simple funnels we have.

It's basically just two simple pages.

Page number one is what we call a squeeze page.

This is where we're asking somebody

for their email address in

exchange for something.

Might be a lead magnet,

might be an ethical bribe,

might be some more information.

And then on the next page we thank them

for their email address, and then we give them

that thing that we promised them

on the squeeze page.

It's very simple and very easy,

and it's one of the fastest and easiest ways

to build a huge email list of subscribers.

Now I'm gonna show you guys a

couple of squeeze page

templates so you get an idea,

cause you've probably

seen these a lot out there in the marketplace.

You may not have even known what it was.

So this is what a squeeze page may look like.

Someone is offering you a free guide

or free report in exchange for

your email address.

Okay, here's another one.

This is very simple and very easy.

Same thing, a free report, they opt in,

and then you give them the email address.

You can offer a free book, a free video,

a free white paper, anything you can think of

you can offer it for free, they give you

the email address, on the next page

you thank them and then you actually

give them the thing that you promised them.

It's very simple, it's a very easy way

to start building a following of people.

Okay, so the question I get from a lot

of people is, like, where do squeeze

pages come from? What is this-

who invented this? Why is this a thing?

And for you to really understand that

I wanna go back in time about 10 or 15 years

back to when the internet first came around.

Now if you are like me, been doing this for

a long time, you probably remember

when you would visit websites and all of

a sudden something really annoying

would happen. Do you remember this?

You go to a website and all of a sudden

you see BOOM a huge pop-up, right?

And pop-ups were amazing for marketers

for business owners, because what would happen

that, someone would come to your website

this pop-up would come up and it

would say, 'hey give me your email address

in exchange for a free report' or for

a free coupon or things like that.

And what happened is that marketers,

business owners started growing huge email

lists of 10s and then 100s of thousands

of people and they'd make so much

money emailing those lists of subscribers,

different products, and different things

they were selling.

The problem was it was really annoying

for the end customer, and so Google

started building in ad-blockers in

all of their things, same did Internet Explorer.

And soon, pop-ups became a thing of the past.

And people started freaking out, because

they're building these huge email lists

and then all of a sudden, that went

away literally overnight.

And they thought, 'what are we gonna do?

How should we do this?'

And luckily for all of us, there

are some very smart marketers out there

who started trying to figure out new

ways to do this and one of the things

they invented is a concept called

a 'squeeze page'.

Which is basically taking this pop-up

and instead of going to websites, this thing

pops up, the pop-up becomes the main page

you actually drive people to.

Now, this is one of the original

squeeze pages. This was David DeAngelo's

DoubleYourDating.com

Back when I first got started over

a decade ago, this was like, the most famous

squeeze page out there.

It was very simple and very easy.

If you look at it, it said

'You're about to learn secrets that most

men will never know about women'

Inside, you're gonna learn the kiss test.

How to find out if she's ready to be kissed.

And then a bunch of different things, right?

And so you'd come to this page

And instead of driving to the page, having this

be the pop-up, this was the actual page.

I remember when he first started

doing this, other people started doing it.

Everyone thought they were crazy, like

why would you do that? Why would you

hide the thing you're actually trying to sell

from people by having this squeeze page?

But they started doing the testing

what they found is that they would send

people here, say they send 100 people

to this page, let's say they get 30 or 40%

of people to buy, now you may think

that means 60% of people never

actually saw the thing that you're trying

to give them, but what happens after

you get their email address, you have

the ability to follow-up with them.

And they say on average, it takes somebody

seven times seeing what you're trying to sell

before they're willing to buy from you.

And so if you're just driving all your

people to a website, hoping they're gonna

buy, you're gonna lose a lot of that potential

revenue because you have no ability to follow-up

with those people.

So, instead you send them to a squeeze page.

Now, here on this squeeze page, what he was

promising people is that, if you

give me your email address, I'm gonna tell

you the Kiss Test, okay?

So someone would come here and they

put their name, their email address in,

then they go to page right here where

it'd say, 'here's the kiss test' and it

would explain this is how to know

if a woman is ready to be kissed.

And would kind of explain really quick

and in the bottom it said 'click here

to go download my e-book' and then he'd actually

sell his book called 'Double Your Dating'

And that's what the squeeze page was.

Offer them an ethical bribe, a lead magnet.

For him it was the kiss test,

then the next page he gives them the kiss test,

thanks them for giving the email address,

and then from here they will push them

into whatever product or service

they actually wanna sell on the backside of it.

Okay, now they were able to build

an email list of 100s of thousands

of men and build a huge company

by using simple squeeze pages like this

Okay, alright, so here's how it works.

Step number one, you have to create some

kind of lead magnet, something you can give

somebody in exchange for their email address.

And step number two, you just trade

it for their email address.

It's very simple process that works

super well, in face it's almost

too simple and easy.

Here's an example of some squeeze pages

that, some of my favorite ones I've seen

in the past. This one Frank Kern did.

This is one that Neil Patel did at Kiss Metrics

giving away some white papers. This is one where

Brendon Burchard gives away his

productivity guide. This is one

where someone gives away a free video,

which actually ends up being the sales

video for the product they're trying to sell.

So, these are basic squeeze page examples.

There's tons of different ways to do them.

But that's kind of what they traditionally

look like, okay?

So my question for you is how would you

use a squeeze page funnel inside

of your business, okay?

Well, one way is to get their email address,

so you can follow-up with your customers.

Okay, I told you before it takes someone

an average of seven times hearing your message

before they're gonna be ready to actually

purchase something from you.

So, by giving them something for free

in exchange for the email address,

now you can follow-up with them and

have multiple times to try to sell them

product or service you really wanna sell.

Okay, number two, you can start getting

new leads and start building a relationship

with them, so you can sell them other products

and services in the future.

Another thing is you can build an audience

of people for an upcoming product you're

gonna be launching in the future.

Okay, now, we use squeeze pages and

all sorts of aspects of our business

and something you should be using as well.

Now, here's the example of one of my

squeeze pages.

This is a product I put together

called The Funnel Hacker Cookbook.

And I have a free PDF of this, it has

my top 22 sales funnels.

I send people here, they click on the button,

it pops up, it asks for their email address,

and the next page, I give them the download link

to the email, to the cookbook, and then I also

here offer them a physical copy they

can buy if they want upgrade and get

a physical copy of the cookbook.

Okay, it's a very simple squeeze page

funnel that's built me lists of

10s of thousands of people in the last few

months alone.

Okay, so my question for you is-

what do you have that you could give away?

AKA, what kind of lead magnet could you

create in your company to start generating

your potential dream buyers?

Okay, you could create some kind of

free report or whitepaper.

You can make a free video,

you could give away coupons,

you could access something amazing

and a whole bunch of other things.

Just think about what is it that

your dream clients would want,

go and create that thing and then

you put it behind a squeeze page funnel.

Okay, now he's some of the best

practices of a squeeze page.

This is an example, very simple, very powerful

squeeze page for one of my friends, Brian Moran.

And on a squeeze page, a couple things.

Number one, we wanna keep it simple.

I don't wanna overwhelm them, I'm not

trying to over-complicate it,

just very simple, like, this is what I'm

gonna give you in exchange for your

email address.

Number two, I like having tons of curiosity.

The more curiosity someone has in that

thing you're gonna give them, the more

likely they are to give you their actual

email address, okay.

And the next step you gotta tell

them what to do, so notice it says

'download this thing right now' then it says,

it tells them what to, enter your email

address down below to get this thing.

So, you're actually telling them

exactly what to do.

Cause that's page number one.

Page number two best practices,

you give them the thing that they ask for.

For some reason, people sometimes don't

do this, they try to hide it down

the road.

If you do that, people aren't going to

trust you and they're not gonna buy from

you in the future, okay?

So, you actually give them the thing

that they ask for and if you want to,

you can send them off into your next funnel.

Okay, so, Brian, this funnel gives

them the manifesto that they ask for

and then sends them off into the next funnel,

where he actually sells one of

his training courses, okay?

So, that's some of the best practices

behind how squeeze page funnels work.

So, what do you need for this funnel?

First thing you need is, you're gonna

take this funnel, you're gonna edit it, right?

You need some kind of logo if you're gonna

be doing this one, you need your headline,

your copy, the words that are gonna go on

the page, maybe a picture of your

lead magnet, and that's about it.

That's how simple it is to build

out a actual squeeze page funnel.

Okay, now back in the past, if you wanna

build one of these things, this is what

you'd have to do.

You'd have to hire a designer to design the pages

you have to hire a webmaster to create them

and code them and put them together.

Programmer to set up the auto-responders

and the programming.

An analytics person to make sure it's all working

and it was expensive, took a lot of time, k?

And the good news for you is that

there's a better way, the better way

is you can use our simple share funnels,

and down those videos knows there's a whole

bunch of amazing squeeze page funnels

that I have been using over the last

decade of my life to convert amazingly well,

that I'm just gonna give you for free.

You look down below and see 'em, here's

a whole bunch of them, you can see

exactly what they look like.

Pick which one you like, you click on a

button and it's gonna take you to

what we call a share funnel page.

Now, on this page it's gonna show you

behind the scenes where all the pages

and the share funnel look like.

And then if you have an account to click funnels,

it'll just give you this funnel for free.

It'll literally push the thing tied to

your account and you can go and start

editing the pages.

Or if you don't have a click funnels

account yet, we'll actually give you your

free 14-day trial.

You can sign up and I'll push this

entire squeeze page funnel into your account.

You can go there, you can edit it,

make it, add your lead magnet,

add your logos, add your headline,

and here's your copy.

And that quick, you can

have your own squeeze page funnel up

and ready to start generating leads inside

of your company, okay?

So, step number one in this process is scroll

down below and pick which template

you like the most.

There's a ton of them down there,

find the one that looks like best,

that fits your brand, the thing you

like the most.

That's step number one.

Step number two, you just customize it.

Let me make you a,

let me show you really quickly

how simple it is to customize this

funnel inside of quick funnels.

Okay, so right now I'm on the exact

same page that you're on,

and so I look down here, I find all these

different templates.

Which one of these is my favorite,

I then just pick whichever one I like the most.

I click on, select this funnel button.

And it's gonna copy that entire funnel

over inside my Click Funnels account.

All the pages, all the everything

will be copied over here and so

I can start editing immediately.

After it's copied, I click on the

View Funnel button.

And that fast, the entire funnel's

copied into my account.

Now, on the lefthand side here,

you'll notice these are all different pages

I showed you inside this funnel.

And so I'd go through, I'd edit

each of these pages.

Right now, I'm gonna edit just one,

show you how easy it is.

I click right here on 'edit page'.

And it's gonna take me inside the Click

Funnel's editor.

And from here, I come here, I can

just go where I can start clicking

on things on changing them.

Hey! How are you doing?

(laughs)

I come right here, I can change

out the logo, I can change out the images,

say I want to change out the product shot

from the book.

Something different, I click on 'images',

I find my 'images', I can upload my own

if I want.

I'll click on the camera here and BOOM

that fast, this entire page is edited

to look exactly the way I want it to.

If I don't like something, I can drag and drop.

I can move things around.

There's a bunch of things I can add.

But Click Funnels is so simple that

anybody can do it.

You don't have to be technical.

You just have to be able to drag and drop.

You can make these funnels, this page

look exactly the way you want.

When you're done, you click on

the 'save' button right here.

Then you click on 'preview' and you

can see exactly what your funnel looks like.

That fast, your entire funnel is up and live.

If you don't like something, you

can drag it, you can move it around.

And just keep on having fun until

it's exactly the way you want.

And you exit, and you are done.

So that's step number two, customize it.

Now again, all these templates are very

simple and easy to customize.

In fact, this was one template and

I customize it three different ways,

for three different businesses, but if

you notice it's the exact same template.

I just changed the headline, changed the images,

changed the color scheme, and that fast

I can make this funnel match my brand.

And that way, it looks exactly the way

I want it to look.

I can do that in just minutes here

inside of Click Funnels.

Now, the third step, after you've done it,

now you go out and launch it.

Now I wanna show you a really quick

video for one of my friends, Garrett J White,

who uses click funnels for all of his companies.

I want you to hear his own words, how much

Click Funnels has simplified the process for

him and all four of his companies.

- [Garrett] Hello, My name is Garrett J White,

the master coach mentor and founder of

Wake Up Warrior Academy.

And I will tell you this right now,

we have tested with platforms,

we have tested everything.

I have attempted for the past six years

to use every available software tool I could

find that made it simpler for me

to share my message.

And it started with word press

and it went plugins then optimize press,

and then we went to kajabi.

And then we went to lead pages.

And these are all wonderful, know the owners

of these guys, they're fantastic.

The software tools are amazing.

When Click Funnels came out, I was like

'dude, I cannot handle another software tool,

I don't give a shit, we're just gonna

manage our stuff between Lead Pages and Kajabi.'

And then my friend said, 'just test it.

Just try it out.'

And I went to Click Funnels and no bullshit,

like, every software increment of the last

five years has been a, not a quantum shift

in what you can do with the tool to

get your message out to the marketplace.

They've been incremental, so like, there's

been a move from Kajabi to Lead Pages

or from Optimized Press to Kajabi.

And they were these segmented steps

that had slight improvements that made

it easier.

Click Funnels, though, came out of nowhere.

They took the marketplace by storm.

Just like Apple did when they first

launched the iPhone.

It was not a linear move anymore, it was

a quantum move in improvement that opened up

a gap to allow people just like you watching

this, people just like you and me,

who are not technically savvy, we weren't born

in the Matrix and we didn't have a chip

implanted in our heads.

We're not engineers or computer science majors.

And we don't understand that stuff inherently.

Click Funnels gave you, you my friend,

an opportunity to cut and decrease the time

of stress, and anxiety, and suffering

behind a keyboard.

Trust me, the days you wanna just pound

vodka and throw your Mac out the window,

because you can't figure shit out.

Click Funnels has brought it to a place

that it is a quantum leap,

an opportunity

which allows you,

just like the iPhone,

to not only look smarter,

but to feel smarter.

And ultimately to only deal with

the stuff that matters,

which is getting your message about your product

and your program and service

out to the marketplace.

- How many of you guys think that

Click Funnels is the most amazing customs

for planet earth?

- Yeah!

(clapping)

- [Garrett] If you're spending all the time,

that's suicide watch and having to

check yourself into a hospital.

And honestly, trying to deal with everything

else that's come out before it.

So, I'm not only fully endorsed Click Funnels,

it's the only software tool that we use.

When it comes to our funnels online,

across all four of my businesses,

we're not going anywhere else.

Love Russell, love this event.

This event married up to that software tool.

You are a dumbass if you don't come.

And that's okay, there's plenty of

dumbasses on the plant, just don't

let it be you.

- [Russell] So, what you need to do right now

is if you already have a ClickFunnels account,

scroll down below, and figure out which one

of these squeeze page funnels you wanna use.

Click on the button,

pick your template,

customize it,

and you launch it.

That's how simple and how easy it is.

Now, if you don't have a ClickFunnels account yet

don't worry, same step.

Go down, click on the button down below,

select the funnel.

You'll be taken to a share funnel page.

Go and create your free 14-day trial

and then that funnel will be pushed inside

your ClickFunnels account and you can

customize it, edit it, and launch it,

and you'll be able to rock and roll with

your very first squeeze page funnel.

With that said, thank you guys so much

for watching this video.

converted squeeze page funnels and templates

FIT Talks | John Pomerantz Oral History Interview | 2017 April 19 - Duration: 33:38.

ALEX JOSEPH: [00:00:00] Today is April 19th, 2017.

We're in the offices of the Doneger Group, talking to John Pomerantz for the Fashion

Institute of Technology.

KAREN TRIVETTE: And you are? JOSEPH: And I -- excuse me, I'm Alex Joseph.

I'm the managing editor of FIT's magazine, Hue.

Good.

John, maybe for context, could you tell us a little bit about your childhood?

POMERANTZ: My childhood was spent in Five Towns of Long Island called -- Five Towns,

called Lawrence, and we had a house there; we lived there, and I was going to Lawrence

-- I was in fourth grade, I guess, fifth grade.

No, I was in sixth grade, and I had a -- something happened; I can't tell you [00:01:00] what

it was now with my teacher, and for a couple of days, I was pushed back to fourth grade,

and I had to sit on a high stoop with a cone hat on my head.

And the next thing I know, I'm sent to military school.

JOSEPH: Oh.

Oh my.

(laughter) Do you recall what you wanted to be when you grew up?

POMERANTZ: Well, I always thought I'd be in the clothing business.

JOSEPH: Always.

POMERANTZ: Yeah.

Because my father was in the clothing business.

JOSEPH: Of course.

Right.

Can you tell me about -- what was your formal education?

POMERANTZ: Well, I went to -- I ended up going to this school called Admiral Farragut in

sixth grade.

I graduated from there in 1951, and I went to the Wharton School in Pennsylvania, and

I graduated in 1955, [00:02:00] and then I came to work for Leslie Fay; I worked in Wilkes-Barre,

Pennsylvania.

JOSEPH: Right, and Leslie Fay was your father, Fred's company, correct?

POMERANTZ: My father Fred's company was Leslie Fay.

It was moved from New York to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania.

And most of the work that had to be done was done there, to make a dress.

JOSEPH: I remember reading in your oral history that you lived in the factory; is that true?

POMERANTZ: I had a bedroom in the factory.

Well my father used to -- he'd be in the office by seven o'clock in the morning,

so I had to be in the office by seven o'clock in the morning.

And the office -- the factory was right next to my bedroom.

I can't say it was fun living in a factory, but I lived in a factory.

[00:03:00] And I had to stay working at the factory until he went home, like everybody

else.

JOSEPH: Now, as I understand it, one -- the Leslie Fay company invented the category of

"petite," is that correct?

POMERANTZ: During the Second World War, people couldn't get fabrics to make clothing.

So he started making some clothing for the military.

They gave him sized to make, and he thought it was crazy.

So he made a couple of styles in the size -- both sizes, his size, and the size that

they gave him.

The size they gave him was pretty close to a petite size.

He shipped them to Filene's in Boston, both ways, and the size that he -- [00:04:00] the

new size flew out of the store.

The war ended, and he went to open up Leslie Fay, "Leslie Fay, it fits you to a T if

you're five foot four or under," and a T was like a -- where they measure how wide

you are.

JOSEPH: Wow.

I read that your father was one of the founders of FIT; is that true?

POMERANTZ: I don't -- I never knew if he was a founder or not.

I think you have to know who he was.

He was a very strong man with fifth grade education.

He never finished after fifth grade.

He was working in the industry for a family who had a company in Boston.

So, he never [00:05:00] finished his education.

But, when I think of it, I was thinking of it last night, he is the -- he was, rather,

one of the finest, strongest advocates of education.

Especially for women.

JOSEPH: Interesting, especially for women.

Did you have any other jobs aside from garment industry work?

POMERANTZ: No.

JOSEPH: No?

You went straight from working in the factory, to working in the industry?

POMERANTZ: Well, what I did was I went to Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania,

graduated.

I went there in the summertime so that I wouldn't be drafted to -- for the Korean War, and I

finished -- had plenty -- because it was the summertime, [00:06:00] my senior year, I didn't

have that many things to do, to take to graduate.

So I graduated in the summer of '55, and went to work there.

JOSEPH: What person do you think had the most positive influence on your life?

POMERANTZ: I'm pretty sure it's my father.

JOSEPH: It was your father?

POMERANTZ: Yeah.

Probably had some negative ones too, but.

(laughter) JOSEPH: Do you remember what he -- what did

he do or say that influenced you?

POMERANTZ: The one thing that I grew up with, is that -- a saying that said, anything that

you want to do, if you want to do it hard enough, you could do it.

And that's the way I led my life, with that.

JOSEPH: [00:07:00] Do you remember how you first learned about FIT?

POMERANTZ: It was through my father.

JOSEPH: Through your father?

POMERANTZ: Yeah.

I was -- don't forget, I was working in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania for a number of

years, and I came back here.

Went -- the year I came here, probably '58 or '59.

And then I started hearing things about FIT from -- he was such a strong supporter of

FIT.

JOSEPH: Do you know why?

Do you remember what -- POMERANTZ: Because he was a fifth-grade guy

who never had any education above fifth-grade, and he was probably one of the strongest advocates

of education in America at that time.

And he wanted people to go -- he figured if they could go to school and go to work, [00:08:00]

they can't do something else which isn't good.

And he taught me that too, or I learned that from him.

He didn't teach really -- he used to say, "I don't know how to teach, you have to

learn."

JOSEPH: Right.

I read that in his oral history -- or, in your oral history from earlier, you said -- he

said to you, we don't -- I don't teach this industry; you learn it.

So I'm assuming he meant you have to go out and actually do things in the industry.

POMERANTZ: He was -- you know, you could do -- you could try and do things, but you really

had to work at those new things, and try to know that those new things really shouldn't

be new; they should be doing it now.

And when we did those new things, we got successful.

JOSEPH: Do you remember your first [00:09:00] impressions of the college, the first time

you saw it, the first time you went there, the first time --

POMERANTZ: The first time I saw it, I thought it was so -- it was little; small.

But as I got to know a little about it, I fell in love with it.

And one of the things it did, and I know my father felt this way, I'm sure; we never

discussed this, but I know he did, was that, it was -- at those times, it was really a

school for New Yorkers.

It's grown (inaudible) right now, but then it was a school for New Yorkers.

And if you went to school, and you were a female, you weren't on the street.

That was one of the most important things that he could think of, and became one of

the most important things I think of too, how to teach women to have this education,

to go to the next step in their life.

JOSEPH: [00:10:00] You must have first become aware of the college in the 1950s, so before

we even had the big buildings on Seventh Avenue.

POMERANTZ: When I first saw the school, I thought it was so little.

I didn't know how they could exist.

JOSEPH: Did you know of the school when it was still in the High School of the Needle

Trades?

POMERANTZ: They had that, yes -- I didn't know much about that though, but I knew about

that.

JOSEPH: So you knew about it mostly when it -- when we had the building on 27th Street

at the time that building went up in 1959?

POMERANTZ: I think so, yes.

The head of the union worked there.

I'm trying to -- I'll give you his name in [00:11:00] a minute.

I'm not prepared for this.

JOSEPH: (laughter) POMERANTZ: [Chip Chakin?].

He was -- if we could be friends by being adversaries, we were.

And there was -- there were -- the union was -- had lots to do with that, too.

Or the school had a lot to do with the union.

JOSEPH: The -- was that the International Ladies Garment Worker's Union at that time?

POMERANTZ: Yes, yes, yes.

JOSEPH: Did you know David Dubinsky by any chance?

POMERANTZ: I -- my father knew him better than I do.

I knew him -- I met him.

I never did any work with him.

JOSEPH: He must have been quite a character.

POMERANTZ: He was.

And when I took over, there was a, kind of [Chip Chakin?], [00:12:00] and he was there

for a lot of years, too.

JOSEPH: Do you remember what year you started on the board at FIT?

POMERANTZ: I don't.

I don't.

JOSEPH: OK, probably sometime in the '60s or '70s, or something like that?

POMERANTZ: I started on the board, there was a gentleman from Macy's who was on the board

also.

And I had his name before you came, and I lost it.

JOSEPH: (laughter) POMERANTZ: I lost it in my mind, so give me

a few minutes and we'll get back to him.

JOSEPH: We'll come back.

He was a retailer?

POMERANTZ: He was a retailer.

JOSEPH: OK, and he -- POMERANTZ: He was the number two retailer

at Macy's; there was a guy named Ed Finkelstein who probably everybody has heard of, who was

running (inaudible) for them.

How -- his name was [Ott Reiner?].

[00:13:00] He was a great guy, and through the years, he and I became the two leaders

of FIT, that we had a group, and we'd have meetings, and he and I were the two leaders.

And I think, at that time he was the leader and I wasn't.

JOSEPH: OK.

(laughter) Do you remember what you talked about, in terms of what the school should

do, or what it was trying to do?

POMERANTZ: We talked about how the school and the industry could connect.

That was the important thing, because otherwise you'd be doing things in school that wouldn't

help you in the industry.

So that's one of the things we talked about a lot.

JOSEPH: I know you also were involved with the college in advising and mentoring [00:14:00]

students, right?

POMERANTZ: Yes.

I really get pleasures out of that, to speak to younger students.

And I did -- I didn't speak to a lot of students, but I spoke to some students.

I tried to speak to -- and a lot of the students that I spoke to were young men, and not young

women.

And I was there because I thought that was a place for young women.

But, it wasn't a big school at the time.

And there were some good people there, and they were doing wonderful things.

Still -- it changes and changes, and it's a great school.

JOSEPH: Do you remember, did any of these people -- did you keep in touch with them?

Did they go on to go into the industry?

POMERANTZ: They didn't go onto -- [00:15:00] the people I'm talking about didn't go

into the industry.

JOSEPH: Oh, they didn't?

POMERANTZ: No, but they worked with the school; they passed away.

They were not young people.

JOSEPH: I see.

But students that you mentored and advised, did they, did you --

POMERANTZ: Follow up with them?

JOSEPH: Yeah, did you follow up with them?

POMERANTZ: I stayed in touch with some, yes, yes.

JOSEPH: OK.

Do you remember what -- you don't have to name their names, but do you remember what

companies they went into, or did you -- POMERANTZ: I think we used to take about eight

or nine a day.

JOSEPH: Wow.

POMERANTZ: Leslie Fay -- it was called Leslie Fay then.

JOSEPH: Right.

POMERANTZ: Before Leslie Fay -- I didn't answer the question you asked me.

My father and my -- his brother had a company called Pomette, and they made those few things,

and after the way, he's -- [00:16:00] he ended up with his brother in Pomette, and

he went into Leslie Fay.

JOSEPH: Right.

And you were in charge of Joan Leslie for a while, right?

POMERANTZ: I was in charge of Joan Leslie after several years.

I was living in Wilkes-Barre, had nothing to do with Joan Leslie.

Joan Leslie was a new company, and when I came back to work in New York, I was of course

going to a meeting, and the next thing, I'm the head of Joan Leslie.

JOSEPH: (laughter) Did you -- now, Joan Leslie was an actress.

Did you ever meet her, or what was she like?

POMERANTZ: I met her a couple of times.

There were a couple of actresses we met -- that's a very good question, and I can't remember

the answer to, unfortunately.

JOSEPH: (laughter) That's all right.

That's fine.

POMERANTZ: But Joan Leslie was alive, that was for the smaller [00:17:00] person.

And it fit because those people -- those kind of people, they would want -- they wouldn't

get a fit before, now all of a sudden they got something that would fit.

It was great for them.

We still make petite dresses.

JOSEPH: In Leslie Fay?

POMERANTZ: Yeah.

JOSEPH: Yeah, right.

The line is still around, people still talk about petites as a very, you know, important

category of dresses.

POMERANTZ: Well, Leslie Fay today makes petites, bigger [00:17:34] sizes and large sizes.

And, it's -- I don't know if you know, but the history of Leslie Fay at the tail

end of it was not a good history, at the -- about ten years ago, I think it was.

There was fraud in the company, [00:18:00] but about two years ago, my wife and I bought

the name back.

JOSEPH: Oh, that's good.

POMERANTZ: So it's actually owned by myself and my wife, Laura.

JOSEPH: Oh, that's great.

And you're still -- where does this -- where does the line go now, where is it?

POMERANTZ: Well the line is manufactured by a vendor, and that vendor pays a commission

to me, and sells to Dillard's only.

It's confined to Dillard's.

JOSEPH: Yeah, why Dillard's, just because?

POMERANTZ: Well Dillard's -- there was a time when Alex Dillard who was -- there were

two brothers -- three brothers, actually.

And Alex Dillard told me one time years after -- all the fraud happened with the Leslie

Fay, [00:19:00] that he's never been able to replace the Leslie Fay business.

So anyhow, when I heard that, I spoke to my wife.

We went and made a deal with Jay -- from Ohio.

Oh my god, it's a famous name too.

And he sent -- he sold us back the name.

We shipped in the first season, and it wasn't good at all.

And then we gave it to another company.

And that company is doing well, and Dillard's is doing well.

But it's confined to Dillard's.

JOSEPH: Right.

You had talked -- you said in your earlier interview that confining to certain stores

was very important for the line, for the company.

POMERANTZ: Well, it's confined to Dillard's, and Dillard's has a lot of stores in [00:20:00]

a lot of towns, which makes it very difficult to sell in another store.

But, if there was a way to sell a store in a town that Dillard's is not in, we'd

have permission to do that.

But we haven't gotten to that point yet.

This is the second -- two-and-a-half years with Dillard's.

JOSEPH: You also said in the earlier interview that the only constant in the fashion industry

is change.

POMERANTZ: I know that's the way I feel, but I don't remember saying anything about

it.

But that's the truth.

You have to change.

The change might be taking a button from here and putting a button here; that might be the

change.

But it cannot be what it was; it has to keep moving.

JOSEPH: Good to know.

[00:21:00] Maybe we could talk about some -- if you remember some of your impressions

of the people at the college, do you remember Shirley Goodman, what she was like?

POMERANTZ: I do.

I loved her.

I'm not supposed to love other women.

(laughter) But I loved Shirley Goodman; she was great.

She was like -- she taught me so much.

She was great.

JOSEPH: And one particularly influential president of the college was Marvin Feldman.

Do you remember Feldman?

He came on in 1971.

POMERANTZ: 1971.

He was younger than the rest of us were -- maybe not me, but the rest of the -- but he did

a wonderful job, I thought.

I'm not -- I'm pretty sure he did a wonderful job; he was a good guy.

JOSEPH: Do you remember any stories about him, or -- [00:22:00]

POMERANTZ: I don't.

I'm sure I do, but I don't.

JOSEPH: The -- under Feldman, the college began to grant bachelor's degrees, four-year

degrees?

POMERANTZ: I think so, yes.

JOSEPH: Do you remember how you felt about that?

Was that a good development for the school?

15

POMERANTZ: I felt good about it.

I felt that that's more of an education than two years.

I did; I felt good about it.

JOSEPH: Did you ever meet Calvin Klein?

POMERANTZ: Yes I did.

I met Calvin Klein, and had a lot of respect for him.

I still have respect for him.

His clothes under the Calvin Klein label were selling very well, and there's a company

that makes them that my wife is on the board of.

So, that's G-III [Apparel Group], so.

[00:23:00] I have a lot of respect for what they're doing, and they're doing what

he did.

JOSEPH: So, in 1986, the Fred Pomerantz Building was named.

Do you remember what inspired you to make the donation for that building?

POMERANTZ: My father died in '84 -- I'm pretty sure it was '84.

He died at 84 in '84.

And my wife, Laura and I spoke about this, and we decided that that was a good thing

to do.

We did a few things; we started a Fred Pomerantz Scholarship at the university, the Wharton

School University of Pennsylvania, and we did this to FIT.

And we did [00:24:00] the FIT as a -- because FIT was his life really, loved it.

And because of that, I loved it too.

And what was nice was my wife Laura really was -- anything we did, she was a part of.

And if she didn't want to do it, we wouldn't have done it.

JOSEPH: That's part of being in a marriage, right, you have to --

POMERANTZ: Part of being in a good marriage.

JOSEPH: A good marriage.

So how -- tell me -- over the years, and since you've been associated with the college

for so long, I mean, how do you think the college has changed over the years?

POMERANTZ: Well, there's new building, there's new -- just physically, there's new ways

to walk the school.

There's new courses, certainly new staff, [00:25:00] and some of the staff really takes

the college to the next spot.

And I think it's constantly changing.

And this president helped to change it.

She's been there a long time now, and she's great.

JOSEPH: Have there been any surprising moments, or?

POMERANTZ: I don't have any surprising moments.

I'm trying to remember what Leslie Fay did with the school, that was not just education.

And they did -- I think we did some outside -- [00:26:00] some social things that were

outside.

Or inside, both.

JOSEPH: Did the company sponsor internships for the students, and --

POMERANTZ: We have about five students.

JOSEPH: About five students, OK.

All right.

POMERANTZ: Scholarships, not internships.

JOSEPH: Oh, scholarships.

Yeah, of course.

Let's see.

Do you have any impressions of how the students have changed over the years?

POMERANTZ: I do, I do.

First of all, we've got, just many more of them.

They come from different areas.

It's more of an international school than it was then, which is a good thing for the

school.

But one of the things that I cared [00:27:00] a lot about at FIT was that it was a local.

And it helped local kids.

Which it still does, by the way.

JOSEPH: Yes.

It's still a community college.

Let's see.

So, how do you think -- do you think the board, the composition of the board, the people who

are on the board reflect these changes in fashion, in the industry?

POMERANTZ: Well there's the board of FIT, and then there's the foundation board.

And I've always been the head of the foundation.

But I don't go to those meetings, and I don't know what happens at those meetings.

I do know what happens at the board meetings of FIT.

And I think the people that have the title of being a member of a board of FIT have -- [00:28:00]

they really care about the school.

They do their best.

Some of them do scholarships to get more people in there.

They do feel very strongly about the board.

And I'm sure the foundation does too, which is -- I'm not part of the foundation anymore.

JOSEPH: Are you an emeritus?

POMERANTZ: Yes.

Do I look like a -- JOSEPH: (laughter) Sure.

What would you like for people at FIT to remember about you?

POMERANTZ: I never think of that.

Just that I had the love of the school.

I loved the school, and I think the school loved me too.

JOSEPH: I think so.

POMERANTZ: But it was -- there were a few of us that really went out of our way for

that school.

And then there were others [00:29:00] that were on the board that didn't -- that helped,

but they didn't go out of the way -- the way -- we went.

JOSEPH: Well you've certainly won many awards and many recognitions over the years.

The college thinks about you as a very important person to the --

POMERANTZ: And it's a good feeling.

I feel back the same way.

But you were in my office next door, you saw --

JOSEPH: (laughter) A whole wall of certificates, and honorary diplomas.

POMERANTZ: And then, the nice thing about it is because it didn't have to happen this

way.

But the nice thing about it is my wife has the same feeling.

JOSEPH: Oh, that's great.

Does she have -- she doesn't have a -- she didn't work in the fashion industry, did

she, or -- POMERANTZ: When we got married, she -- her

father had a [00:30:00] chain of stores in the south -- in Florida, and she worked for

those stores.

And then, when she came to us, to Leslie Fay, we ended up starting a company called Breckenridge,

and she was the head of it.

She was the group head of -- the Better goods, the Better clothes -- because none of us know

anything about Better.

JOSEPH: What was your price point in Leslie Fay?

POMERANTZ: In those days, it was probably -- the high price would have been 60-75.

JOSEPH: So, how did you and your wife meet?

POMERANTZ: (laughter) It's a long story, and a good story, by the way.

[00:31:00] I was doing a fashion show for a company called Battelstein's in -- it

wasn't in Dallas then; it was in Houston.

But it was a big store in Dallas too.

And, it seemed that she was married to someone that worked at Neiman.

Yes, at Neiman's, and -- so Battelstein's bought lines that Neiman's bought also.

They have -- so I was told about this girl whose husband and she just got divorced, and

he was working at Neiman Marcus in Dallas, and she's moved back to Florida.

My best friend was going to school in Florida; it was his birthday.

And [00:32:00] I took someone out from Burdine's.

And she said to me -- I'll never forget it, she said, why would you take me out when

you could take Laura [Franzel?] [00:32:09] out?

That was the second time I heard it that weekend.

And then I heard it again the third time, and what -- she said to her father, she was

at Battelstein -- excuse me, not Battelstein's, and Burdine's.

And she asked her father for some advice, and he said, he didn't know the store, but

they say Leslie Fay, and his friend John Pomerantz runs it.

So she called me to meet with me and invited her to lunch.

And I proposed to her at the lunch.

JOSEPH: Wow, the first time you met?

POMERANTZ: Because I had heard her name in so many different ways in a month.

JOSEPH: (laughter) That's amazing.

[00:33:00] POMERANTZ: That was 42 years ago.

JOSEPH: Incredible.

POMERANTZ: For me it is.

JOSEPH: Congratulations.

Are there any questions that you -- is there a question you wish I would ask you that I

haven't asked already?

POMERANTZ: No, you've done a good job.

You did your job.

JOSEPH: OK.

Karen, other questions that you feel that we've missed?

TRIVETTE: I think we've done well.

Very good.

Thank you.

JOSEPH: That was great, thank you so much for your time, yeah.

Meet Stanley J. Smith, DO, Family Medicine | Ascension Oklahoma - Duration: 1:35.

I'm Stanley Smith.

I'm a family practice physician.

I work at the St. John Owasso Clinic in Owasso.

I think when I was growing up, I had a great family practice physician.

We were with him all the way through grade school, high school, two years of college.

He really influenced me, and that's what made us want to go into medicine, I think.

Family medicine's a great way to practice, because you get to see everybody.

We see the children.

We see the adults.

We see the grandparents, and we make those bonds throughout the generations.

I think I want to know that we live in Owasso.

We practice in Owasso.

We see them at the grocery stores.

We see their kids at the school, so we get to know them personally, and they get to know

us personally.

It makes a lot of difference on how you approach them about their wellness.

I really love to be around family.

We have children.

My kids are grown adults now, and they're wonderful people.

I have great-grandchildren.

I have the best grandchildren in the world.

We like to hang out together on weekends.

They come over.

We cook out.

We play outside.

We swim in the pool when it's warm, try to take a couple of vacations together.

We ski in the winter and try to find a beach in the summer sometimes.
