At The Startup Slingshot we strongly believe that the secrets to success can be learned from others who have been successful. Many of the requested guests have spent their lives learning what to do and how to do it. Luckily for us, their knowledge can be captured in the form of an interview and shared with countless people around the world.
In order to guide my search for guests in 2012, I recently surveyed The Startup Slingshot community to find out who they respect and would like to learn from in the coming year. Below is the list of the most requested female guests for 2012, in no particular order.
