Riley Kehoe

The great enemy of an impactful life is fear. Fear does not stop death. It stops life. Riley Kehoe is no stranger to the power of fear. In 2004, Kehoe and her family were holidaying in Thailand when the Boxing Day tsunami struck. After living through an event that killed over 290,000 people, she has set her future toward helping others beat fear.

Over the last three years, Kehoe has been exposed to 10+ million people. In her capacity as a speaker, Kehoe has addressed audiences of over 20,000, been featured on 30 podcasts, and booked 40+ speaking events a year, including international engagements. A notable highlight is Kehoe will present a TED talk on "The Courage to Care" in April, addressing 21 million subscribers on YouTube and 7000 live audience members.

Kehoe has a Commercial Law and Management degree from New Zealand and a Master’s in Global Leadership with Honors. The average age of the Global Leader enrolled in this program is fifty, thereby making Kehoe the youngest student ever accepted and the first student accepted under the age of thirty.

Kehoe is an adventurer, writer, and international public speaker who has traveled to over 30 countries mostly for speaking engagements or volunteer work. She was born in England, raised in New Zealand, and now embraces America as her home. In her spare time, she is a keen surfer, equestrian rider, and practices Mixed Martial Arts.
