Aparna Mohla is one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met! This is Part Two of my interview with her, and you’ll see why when you hear this episode. (Here is Part One of the interview)

We met while working together at SolarCity where she was legendary for being the highest performing sales consultant in the company’s history. She set the record for most sales in a year (246) which was never passed. She’s currently the Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at the amazing non-profit GivePower


Aparna is a master connecter, relationship builder, and incredible public speaker.

Here are some highlights from this episode:

  • Secrets to building relationships including what book she’s says is her “cheat sheet to connecting with people”
  • What controls life’s biggest decisions
  • How she turned getting pulled over by Border Patrol into a business development opportunity
  • Tips on how to captivate and emotionally engage with large audiences
  • How to use affirmations to build confidence 
  • How her mentors, her loving and nurturing parents, may not have given her all the material things she wanted, they gave love and lessons on being a good person.
