Former Idaho Senator Shawn Keough's Talking To Teri

And talking pretty freely...
1

She's been called a "once in a generation leader" and truly, she is.

Shawn Keough started working at the Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce years ago and has been at a day job for the Associated Logging Contractors for close to a quarter century. She was so effective that her constituents sent her to the Idaho Senate for 11 2-year terms.

When she retired as District 1's state senator in 2018, she might have just retreated to spend time with her family and live a quiet, idyllic life on Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. She didn't. When Governor Brad Little asked her to fill a seat on the State Board of Education she stepped back up.

Shawn Keough has a passion for public service. Still.

Join me as we talk candidly about how she got to Idaho years ago, her time in the Legislature, and the state of party politics in Idaho these days. And she's got some pretty good advice for anyone thinking about following their passion.

Carpe diem!

Teri's Doing It! Podcast
A friend once told me, "Teri, you'll never meet anyone who doesn't know at least one thing you don't." It's true. Teri's Doing It! podcasts feature inspiring people from whom I've learned a lot. I hope the stories they tell do the same for you.
I'm a travel writer and podcaster who has realized that time is finite and I'm getting closer to the end than the beginning. Because I don't want to go out with a long, undone to-do list, I'm doing things these days I always wanted to do but hadn't made time for.
Join me. Hear from inspiring people who aren't letting grass grow under their feet no matter their age, who have found their passion and pursue it with all their hearts. And then go out and mark things off your to-do list.
Carpe diem! What have you got to lose?
