I rather not have a list, but get to know them one-by-one - and these interviews are a way of doing that. In a recent post on Blogher, Virginia DeBolt mentions the list titled 100 Awesome Webmaster Blogs by and for Women by Jimmy Atkinson. BlogHer's leadership trio Lisa, Elisa, and Jory was in the number 1 spot.

Here's my interview: 1. It's a good excuse to read lots of other people's blogs, and feed into the general nptech blogosphere, which is fun. I spent half of 2005 and all of 2006 in seminary, in Berkeley, CA, and a lot of the issues that I was exploring during that time I have talked about on that blog. Cross posted at Blogher

After meeting her at the Global Engagement Summer last spring, I knew I wanted to grab her for an interview before she became too famous. It runs the gamut based on what the needs of the community are, and what they're most passionate about solving at that time. We wanted to ultimately empower the refugees as much as we could.

Even if you feel like you need more experience, more skills, more time, more money, more confidence, more whatever before you can pursue your dream, take a step, even if it is a small one, towards your dreams. Make time for the three R's: rest, reflection and recreation. Not breaking big dreams down into small actions.

That’s why I started interviewing women (and men) for the Big Vision Podcast , and my Solutionary Women series on BlogHer who get up in the morning and have a big vision for a better world as their alarm clock. Now is the time for all of us, in whatever small way, to get up in the morning with a big vision for a better world.

I realize that finding the time to experiment for many of us can be difficult, especially if those experiments do not lead to direct outcomes. It takes some action learning, small focused experiments where you track, evaluate, and learn from before investing more time and effort. Make it fun. Look at your data for answers.
