Gregg Sugerman is a life and mindset strategist. Terms he completely made up because he got tired of calling himself a “coach”.    After working over 20 years in sales in the intensely competitive (and soul crushing) Garment Center of NYC, he discovered his love for coaching. In helping people find success and fulfillment in their own careers, he finally found it in his.   18 months ago, Gregg was approached by his friend Eugene Litvak, founder of the Litvak Team - one of Compass's top producing teams in New York City, to coach 10 of his agents and serve as their exclusive in-house mindset strategist    The team went on to have its best year ever, in the middle of the pandemic. And they're on target to easily surpass that this year.   Earlier this year he made the decision to pivot in his business and work strictly with Real Estate Agents and Team Leaders.    He's also fairly certain he's the worst surfer on the East Coast (but he's a pretty decent guitar player).    Oh, and he's also someone who never talks about himself in the third person, but for some reason that's what everyone does in their online bio's :)      In this episode, Karen and Gregg discuss: Success Story of Gregg Commit to Get Leads Hope is not a lead generator. Aim to help people and provide service to those you are hoping to work with, and karma will come back to you.  Consult to Sell Take small, tiny, and really simple steps every day to get on top of those already in your CRM and stay top of mind for those future sales..  Connect to Build and Grow Put yourself out there. Reach out, talk to people, create content, leverage the content you create in multiple ways (emails, newsletters, social media posts, podcasts, speaking, etc).  Success Thinking, Activities and Vision Identify the actions that are going to get you from Point A to Point B, then take those actions consistently, and put those habits in place that make your consistency inevitable. Sweet Spot of Success     "The secret to being consistent at anything you want to in this world is to have habits in place that make that consistency inevitable because habits don't rely on your willpower. They don't rely on your self discipline. Willpower and discipline are awesome, but those things are finite resources, they ebb and flow through the course of your day.

The area is trending upward; on a modified basis, people are returning to work, amenities are being enlarged and improved.

QVC Designer Renée Greenstein was a guest in The Locher Room on May 14, 2021 to discuss her new book, Women with Control 12 Secrets Of My Success That Every Women Should Follow. In her book, Renée chronicles her rise through the fashion industry smashing glass ceilings as a Woman of Color when few women were in the fashion industry. While a college freshman, her interest in fashion drew her out of academia to the Garment Center and New York's Fashion industry. Life throws everyone obstacles, even a successful woman like Renée. As she states in the book “You are so in it. Life. The stress. The things you have no control over.” In Women With Control, she takes the reader on a journey into her world as a global fashion designer and founder of Women with Control® and Attitudes by Renée® brands, two of the top selling fashion lines featured on QVC USA and UK. Both collections are a reflection of the designer's flair, genuine playfulness, and compelling life experiences. Renée shares her journey with you while keeping it real. You may have seen her on QVC doing her No More Wiggle, No More Jiggle® dance, smiling and laughing away. That's because Renée genuinely loves fashion and loves her customers who she affectionately dubbed Wardrobe Warriors. That is why, Renée invites you to be in it together. There's strength in numbers, right? And she knows we can win if we put our minds to it. Because let's face it. We can get lost in the negativity that swirls in our heads, and we would be so much happier if we would only get out of our own way. Each chapter offers an insight into Renée's journey as well as a takeaway lesson. These are the author's 12 Secrets Of My Success That Every Woman Should Follow each outlined in its own chapter. Join Renée and I as we look back at her incredible career, discuss her secrets to success and talk about her Wardrobe Warriors.

If you’ve seen the Adam Sandler film Uncut Gems on Netflix, you'll remember the unforgettable high-roller who invites Julia Fox up to his casino penthouse suite. That's Wayne Diamond, in his first major film role. But even though Wayne is definitely having a moment, he isn’t new to the spotlight: he’s a bit of a legend in the Garment District, was a hugely successful dress designer in the '70s, '80s and '90s, and even claims to have designed the dresses Vanna White wore on Wheel of Fortune. In this incredibly (but not usually) candid conversation with Wayne, he discusses his unlikely start in the fashion industry, his deep disappointment with it today, his loathing of everything Trump, Wayne's strong input into his Uncut Gems wardrobe, a possible return to fashion,  a meaningful debt he took care of for his father, and an honor he’s never received that might mean more than almost anything. It's very big opinions, very strong language, and a very wild conversation with "the" Wayne Diamond.

Stephanie and Samanta receive gifts of personally selected limited run scarves, and how craftsmen allow Gillett to do small run artwork in the form of scarves. Soft accessories allow anyone to easily to bring something for someone. From an idea in Gillett’s mind to being worn by someone. Transitioning from hand application to printers and mills. How as a fine artist the toolbox is infinite, how textiles offer a 2D plane to explore possibilities because the material changes the design when it is applied. Knitting required help working side by side. Producing in India, transitioning the business, and producing-to-order Why India became an inspiring resource, low minimums, the process from concept to manufacturing, how weather changes in India affect design choices, how Gillett thinks in the finished project, and the value of seeing the manufacturing in India in person. The best go-to colors and techniques, woven MicroModal, and a delicious and surprising snack. Moving her studio from her bathtub to The Garment Center then to China then to India, why she stayed in India, the cost of transitioning a business, what happens to unused designs, producing-to-order for efficiency and being waste-free, the boutique part of business as a testing ground, and issues with grey goods and stability and dependability.Speed to market, inviting naked people, and the fuel of inspiration The see now/buy now impact on business in shrinking of timeline, and retailers taking longer risk by waiting longer and purchasing items with shorter turnaround, speed-to-market and supply chain shifts, the most difficult parts of the business, why numbers matter, and keeping it simple.

Computerized grading and marking of materials… Paul Cavazza, Owner of Create-A-Marker (a computerized grading and marking company serving a range of industries – (bio)) joins hosts Stephanie Benedetto and Samanta Cortes at the MouthMedia Network Studios.Grading and Marking, three generations of factories, and efficiency goals Cavazza discusses how many industries bring a pattern in, Create-a-Marker digitizes the pattern, and provides a cuttable fabric width of the item, and how the designer or company must provide all the information about the fabric and pattern. He talks about grading the pattern, proportioning it into different sizes, how designers commonly design things that cannot be done, how his company likely has the most software systems for marking of anyone in the US, giving the most compatibility with users’ softwares and also overseas, so the company doesn’t have to turn down business. He looks back at three generations of factories, being in factories his whole life, cutting fabrics since he was 13 years old, and how the industry doesn’t like to change things. In 1993 decided to open of Create a Marker to create a computerized grading and marking service. How they shoot for an 80-85% efficiency marker, and if the manufacturer estimates a certain about of fabric the efficiency must be right or you can ruin a manufacturer. If you come down on estimated yardage, the manufacturer needs to know. Manufacturing in NY, 3D fitting and pattern-making, and maximizing accuracy Co-founding the Save the Garment Center, bringing back manufacturing in NY, and a strong push back for Made in NY. Pattern-making coming back to NY which means grading coming back to NY. 3D pattern-making and 3D fitting will be coming in next few months, how Cavazza is excited, one of the largest costs is making samples, fit models, and needing even more samples to get it right. A 3D avatar can show how a garment and pattern looks and put it in action and see how it looks in movement, and a designer can look at it on 3D to see if they really like how that garment or fabric looks and make adjustments, streamlining designs and focusing on the garment. Once fitted on avatar you can cut to 99% accuracy, minimizing waste in process and reducing cost.Multiple industries, a goal for the future, and the best pizza in NY Other industries, medical, (i.e. crutches) automotive (i.e., car seats, steering wheels), a nine feet tall teddy bear, sails, and parachutes. What creates complexity, size and special placements within specific design of fabric. Upholstery and furniture businesses, very global, and stuffed animals. Best practices and tools for students, teaching at FIT because he is seeing more and more people coming into the industry that never took fashion design, how there is amazing technology out there, such as sewing machines with laptops in Germany. Cavazza’s four companies including a paper company and a converting operation for converting paper, and how Create-A-Marker could open a computerized cutting room as a goal, building a state of the art factory that would blow minds, with nothing in NYC, and Europe currently having an edge. What happens after you cut the marker, the Amalfi Coast, not sleeping in Italy, the most surprising best pizza in NYC, bridal marking, going after technology and changing business, and not resisting change.
