  • Summary

  • Can someone without a traditional background still make an impact in clean energy?

    Aaron Nichols, the Marketing & Advocacy Specialist at Exact Solar, answers that question with a resounding ‘yes’. His journey into the solar industry was anything but traditional (we don’t want to spoil it, but it began with circus performers in Ecuador).

    Aaron has written and consulted for some of the biggest names in the solar industry (including Nico himself) and been featured in Business Insider. He divides his time at Exact Solar between pushing for more equitable solar policies and creating the most comprehensive free solar educational resource for homeowners on the internet.

    Expect to learn:

    ⚡ The ‘secret key’ that opened the the door to a clean energy career

    ⚡Why the solar industry is missing out on top talent (and how we fix it)

    ⚡ How Aaron went from door-to-door sales to advocating for a more ethical solar industry

    ⚡ What the solar industry can do to regain the public’s trust

    ⚡ Why ‘save the planet' marketing doesn’t work for everyone

    If you didn’t follow the traditional path and still want to start a clean energy career (even if you have no experience) this is the episode for you.
