Teri's Doing It! Podcast

So good that we’re having them for Christmas morning breakfast this year! Even the Professor liked them. Visually, they aren’t quite as attractive as you’d hope (gooey banana and gooey cheese look a little off-putting) but they are very tasty and easy to prepare. I plan to go to the deli counter for the thinly sliced ham next time so I can get longer slices that wrap all the way around the bananas...

UPDATED LINK 12/4/2024 Can you imagine what you'd do if you had a failed knee surgery, breast cancer, Gardner Syndrome, and your beloved husband was diagnosed with Parkinsons all in the same year? Would you pull the covers over your head or instead, do something hairy and audacious? Something you've always wanted to do? Something on your It's Not Too Late list? My Teri’s Doing It! podcast guest, A...

Though I’m no fan of losing leaves on the trees and the abrupt slide into winter, there’s just something about Fall on the Oregon Coast that I can’t wait for. Some of the best weather all year long happens then. The foggy days of summer are past and days are warm and nights are crisp. At night, light a fire in the fireplace, settle in to listen, and appreciate the sea doing what the sea does. The...

I have a lot of things on my It's Not Too Late List. BBL & HALO laser therapy weren't on the list... until they were. I had an inordinate amount of pre-cancerous cells from sun damage, lots of pigmentation, and rosacea had made a ruddy mess of my face. When my dermatologist, Dr. Lindy Borton of Sun Valley Skin Center in Boise, told me that BBL (broadband light) and HALO (a fractional laser) could...

Bonnie Hough is a badass. She's been around the world five times and has visited a country for almost every letter of the alphabet. She's always liked to travel, but she didn't start out that way. Losing people close to her who valued following their passions was a catalyst, she says, and now it's just second nature. Would you believe she traveled to the Great Barrier Reef from the Bay Area on a 4...

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...

In case you ever wondered what Teri's Doing, here's the answer in exactly 60 seconds! And coming soon, don't miss my next podcast when former District 1 State Senator and current Idaho State Board of Education member Shawn Keough and I talk about her path to public service and the "once in a generation" leadership she's demonstrated. We talk about the obstacles and accomplishments she's seen in cl...

There's nothing like a cross country jaunt to inspire heart swells. Just back from a two-week trip back to Minnesota for a family reunion, I can't tell you how many times I was nearly overcome. Not just by family or sights, but by appreciation for my country. By road construction. This is a public episode.

Dave grew up to be a big deal but that's not what he wants you to know. He wants you to know that you should be, you can be Doing It! yourself if you will. In Part 2, Dave talks about his expeditions and many related-affiliations, and conveys his passion for life: for exploring and for helping kids growing up like him who have to decide if they will let others define them or decide for themselves....

The odds weren't good that David Concannon would have made something of himself, but he wasn't listening. He didn't have a lot of champions but the ones he had made all the difference. From his grandfather to camp counselors and teachers, to writers like Tim Cahill these were those who shaped him, who helped him become David. Largely because of them, he refused to be limited by others' negative pe...

In Part 2, we discuss My Malaria, a story Tim wrote for Outside Magazine that changed Teri's trajectory, his own inspiration via Edward Abbey's "Desert Solitaire", his pet charity, the Makindu Children's Project and what it means to take a Proper Walk through a desert of death, dead turtle babies that changed things in Mexico, his near-death experience in the Grand Canyon and what Tim wants us to...

He's been called America’s best known (and funniest) adventure travel writer, a Working-Class Hero, The Godfather of Travel Writing, the Wise Guy of Travel Lit Lite, an apostle of irreverence, and a Mishap Maestro. I just call him Tim. Freaking. Cahill. Tim's why many of us write about travel. In Part 1, Tim talks about law school, new journalism, pissing off a chef at the Mark Hopkins, his foray...

Excited to share this rough cut of a conversation I had recently with legendary literary adventure travel writer (Rolling Stone, National Geographic, 10 books, and more) Tim Cahill . Tim talks about his work for Rolling Stone Magazine that took him into the mind of John Wayne Gacy, the aftermath of Jonestown, and down other dark paths. The interview (both Parts 1 and 2) launches June 1st at www. T...

John DeDakis says, "Success is not fame, it's not money, it's just being in sync with who you really are." He is definitely in sync with himself. It hasn’t been easy, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s a talented mystery novelist who kept at it through at least 10 rewrites of his first novel and despite being turned down by 39 agents before finding the right one. He says he kept at it bec...

John DeDakis had a dream. Well, he had a lot of them, but since he couldn't be President of the United States he set his sights on journalism and eventually, on being a White House Correspondent. A talented journalist, he worked for 45 years for media outlets CBN and CNN. He was a White House Correspondent and worked as a senior editor on Wolf Blitzer's Situation Room helping cover important stori...

In Part 1 we learned that Kim Frank is a proud Jersey Girl, an accomplished writer, editor, mom, wife (and so much more) who now lives in Sun Valley, Idaho. In Part 2 of my conversation with Kim, she talks about how she became a member of the renowned Explorers Club and has learned to take the long view as a path to living her best life. Kim's passionate about making a difference in the world and...

In Part 1 of Episode 4, I talk to Kim Frank, an Idaho writer, explorer, and documentary filmmaker about how she got from her childhood on the Jersey Shore to Sun Valley and beyond. These days Kim is an award-winning writer working on a documentary film to tell the story of the largely unknown (in the West) human/Asian Elephant conflict on the border of India and Nepal. Her memoir, Where the Forest...

Kim Frank's Doing It! This week I had the huge pleasure to talk with my friend, writer Kim Frank. Kim's an extremely inspirational woman. She walked me through her path to becoming an award-winning writer, an editor, and most recently, a voice for things she's passionate about. She's hard at work building her own new boat - a documentary about the human/elephant conflict in India very near the bor...

Before becoming storytellers about wines, wine regions, vine-huggers, and the things that make them worth hearing about, Jan De Weerd followed his passion around the world as a scientific evangelist for Idaho potatoes and VP of Global Ag for Lamb Weston. Tammy De Weerd’s passion was her community where she dedicated blood, sweat, tears, and soul to the City of Meridian, serving as Mayor for 16 yea...
