About Riley

Riley Kehoe is a TED X speaker, podcaster, and writer. Through her writing and teaching, she seeks to convey a simple yet profound truth: with God, you can beat fear. Much of her drive to succeed comes from several close encounters with death and the hard knocks she’s experienced in life. No stranger to fear, Riley is not afraid to speak out about challenging topics. Her ability to be vulnerable while making people laugh is why so many young people are drawn to her content. After traveling as missionaries around the world in 2024, Riley and her husband, Jack, live in Nashville, Tennessee.

Riley has a Commercial Law and Management degree from Auckland University (New Zealand) and graduated with her Master’s in Global Leadership with Honors from Fuller Theological Seminary (Pasadena, California) in 2021. The average age of the Global Leader enrolled in this program is fifty, making Riley the youngest student ever accepted and the first student accepted under thirty. In her spare time, Riley is a keen surfer, equestrian rider, and beach lifeguard, and she practices Mixed Martial Arts.

Over the last three years, Riley has been exposed to 5+ million people. Riley’s first book Three Seconds of Courage is released Jan 28, 2025. She plans on having a career in publishing for decades to come and is already at work on her second book. Riley will continue to deliver her core message through public speaking engagements.
