Mimi MacLean is an angel investor who focuses on female-led companies with something to say. A mom of five, she’s also a CPA, a Columbia Business School graduate and the host of The Badass CEO, a weekly podcast where she interviews entrepreneurs and high-level executives to discuss business strategies, life experiences and what a Badass CEO needs to know.

And I'm proud to say that Legacy Launch Pad has just released her first book, How to Be a Badass Female CEO: Slay the Competition and Reach the Top! Inspired by the statistic that fewer than two percent of female-led companies reach over a million in sales, How to Be a Badass Female CEO packs all of MacLean's myriad experiences into a guidebook for the female CEO's of tomorrow.

On this episode, we talked about her process of deciding to do a book as well as the fear that you're not even conscious of which creeps up right before the launch.
