We had the good fortune of connecting with Mahna Ghafori and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mahna, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Taking a risk has been game changing for my travel photography business. I took a risk in May of 2021 when I decided to take an unpaid leave of absence from my corporate job to pursue my travel photography passion. It was a terrifying choice to leave the secure, known path and dive in to making my own business work. I had no business background or mentors in the business space at the time. From diving in and pursuing the riskier path, I’ve experienced my dreams coming true, a life of fulfillment, service, and opportunities more than I could have imagined. Just from taking a risk. If there’s something inside you that you feel pulled towards, don’t silence that voice. Take the leap. Follow your heart.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I love to be real and unique in what I share. Stories that are authentically me. Authentically representative of who I am, and sharing my passions and love for the world. Through being real and authentic, I’m able to connect with people who resonate with my story and truly feel moved by what I share.

The purpose of my work is to inspire my audience to take action towards living their most extraordinary lives!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I absolutely loved visiting Sedona! Doing the Cathedral Rock hike for sunset was amazing, but our favorite part was sticking around after sunset to see the area get quiet, meditate a bit, then watch the stars come out. It was truly magical.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Tony Robbins coaching and programs has changed the game from me. I hope that everyone can check out Tony Robbins teachings and be open to his coaching. Truly life changing! Thank you Tony Robbins!
