    Brand Building: Discusses why Minority entrepreneurs should buy existing businesses rather than starting from scratch.

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Karla Trotman. President and CEO of Electro Soft Incorporated, an electronics manufacturing and engineering firm. The discussion focused on breaking barriers for women and minority business owners in manufacturing and closing the racial wealth gap. 🔑 Key Themes & Highlights Redefining Manufacturing Manufacturing isn’t just industrial factories—it includes baking, cabinet-making, and assembling office furniture. Trotman’s company specializes in electronics assembly, wiring harnesses, and circuit board manufacturing. Challenges in Domestic Manufacturing U.S. manufacturing has been outsourced overseas, making it difficult to bring production back. Policies supporting domestic manufacturing must include workforce training and component production. Workforce Development & Training Many trade schools and apprenticeship programs are growing to meet demand. Electro Soft trains employees within 90 days to work in electronics assembly. Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Wealth transfer is hindered by lack of financial planning, such as GoFundMe funerals and unclear property titles. Entrepreneurship and business ownership are key to building generational wealth. Acquiring Businesses as a Path to Wealth Minority entrepreneurs should buy existing businesses rather than starting from scratch. Many retiring business owners are willing to finance deals, allowing buyers to use business profits to pay off acquisitions. 📘 About Karla TrotmanKarla Trotman is a third-generation entrepreneur who took over her family’s business, Electro Soft Incorporated. She has a background in logistics, purchasing, and e-commerce, with experience at Honeywell, Gap, and IKEA. She is also the author of Dark, Dirty, Dangerous, a book about manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and wealth-building strategies. #BEST #STRAW #SHMS   Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
