Lawrence Sidbury Jr., the former Atlanta Falcons star, discusses his transition to starting Clipper Logistics LLC trucking company and Zero Limitation Foundation, which focuses on uplifting the youth

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/dadee01e-3b32-4091-bf69-af620144e75e/transcript

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Karla Trotman.

She is president and CEO of Electro Soft, Incorporated (ESI), an electronics manufacturing and engineering firm in the United States. She holds a B.S. in Business Logistics from Penn State and an MBA from Drexel University. The breadth of her experience in business extends to supply chain logistics, purchasing, global scheduling and e-commerce, where she served in key roles in companies to include Honeywell, Gap and IKEA.   She is the author of Dark, Dirty, Dangerous: The Vibrant Future of Manufacturing.  

Trotman welcomed her two sons during her time at IKEA, giving her firsthand experience with the difficulties prenatal and postnatal mothers face in their professional and personal lives. While on maternity leave, she founded the Belly Button Boutique, an online shop for pre- and postnatal women. Over the span of eight years, her business expanded to celebrity and international clientele, earning her features in PEOPLE and on NBC 10, CBS News, HuffPost Live and more.

The success of Belly Button Boutique inspired Trotman to propel ESI, founded by her parents in 1986, even further forward. Over the past 15 years, she served in the roles at ESI as special projects and marketing manager, executive vice president, COO and currently CEO and president. Under her guidance, ESI implemented both online marketing and acquisition strategies, dramatically increasing revenue.

Through her leadership at ESI, Trotman was named an Enterprising Woman of the Year, Transformational Woman in Family Business, Top 25 Leader Transforming Manufacturing, and most recently Entrepreneur of The Year® 2024 Greater Philadelphia Award winner. Trotman recognizes the plights and potential of minority business enterprises (MBEs) and how their power can be used to help close the ever-widening minority wealth gap. Leveraging her connections to funding, access, and networks, she advocates for minority business owners and educates on how investment in minority businesses uplifts minority families and communities.

Trotman is a board member for the Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation, Museum of the American Revolution, African Women’s Entrepreneurship Collective (AWEC) and Forum of Executive Women Foundation. She is co-chair of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Manufacturing Alliance (SEPMA) and a member of both the Drexel University Board of Governors and President’s Council.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Gregory Green.

Coaching and mentoring are in Green’s DNA, and he concurrently serves as REACH Advisor and Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach at Tuskegee University.

Since college, Green has been no stranger to hard work and has mastered being a student-athlete. He earned a Double Major in Psychology and Kinesiology from Winona State University and a Master's in Kinesiology from Ashwood University. He is the gold standard for any student-athlete.

Gregory L. Green Sr. has been an intricate part of athletic success on and off the field since 1995. While cultivating his coach’s acumen Green has humbly executed various roles in the collegiate athletic arena and has excelled in each capacity. Coach Green began his journey at Savannah State University in 1995 where he reveals that he is not just any coach. For the next four years this Cleveland native would serve as Defensive Coordinator for Football, the Judicial Affairs Coordinator, and the Head Men/Women Tennis Coach. Under Green the Women’s tennis program flourished toting the following accomplishments: the highest team GPA in the SIAC four times; SIAC Tennis Champs three times; and three NCCA Tennis Tournament appearances. While at Savannah State Coach Green’s prowess did not go unnoticed, he was the SIAC Conference Coach of the Year three of his four years there.

Green’s career would lead him to Tuskegee University in 2000 where he served as the Compliance Officer, Defensive Coordinator for Football, and the Head Men & Women Tennis Coach. While at Tuskegee for the next five years Coach Green’s legacy of success still reigned true on the football field with a nationally ranked defense each year and four SIAC Conference Football Champs. This success was mirrored on the tennis courts with four SIAC Conference Tennis Championships; six NCAA Tennis Tournament appearances; five-time SIAC Highest Team GPA for Men and Women; and four SIAC Conference Tennis Coach of the Year. Green’s prowess was recognized in house as well as he has also received Tuskegee’s Coach of the Year Award.
Green has touched various institutions as he has coached football at Winona State University, Kentucky State University, Texas Southern University, Alabama State University and Miles College consecutively. Green’s Midas touch is ever apparent as he has been a part of eighteen championships as a player and coach earning him the name, “The King of Rings.”

Coach Gregory L. Green Sr. continues to cultivate the lives of student athletes as he serves as the Coordinator of Student-Athlete Support Service at University of Alabama at Birmingham since 2011. Here Green proudly totes the highest football APR and GPA in UAB history.

Green has three daughters – Kira, Keisha, and Jazmine along with one son, Gregory Jr.
