Terry Lawler - The Long View of Leadership (Part 2) - Experience Matters!

Today's episode is a continuation of last week's interview.
There are some people who serve their community… and then there are those who seem to live in service to it.
Today’s guest is one of those rare individuals whose fingerprints are all over the growth, leadership, and direction for decades. From serving in the Georgia House of Representatives… to leading the Greene County Chamber of Commerce… to shaping downtown development, regional planning, and community initiatives, Terry Lawler has been in the room where decisions are made, and more importantly, where they’re carried out.
But what makes this conversation especially interesting is that Terry isn’t just reflecting on the past, he’s stepping back into the arena. He’s planning to run for County Commission in Greene County, District 1, bringing with him a depth of experience that spans local, regional, and state leadership.
So today, we’re not just talking about titles or timelines. We’re diving into perspective—what he’s learned, what’s changed, what he believes Greene County is getting right… and where he sees the greatest opportunities ahead.
And along the way, we’ll get a glimpse of the man behind the résumé, because after this many years in leadership, you tend to pick up a story or two… and a lot of wisdom worth sharing.
This is a conversation about leadership, legacy, and what it really takes to serve a community well.

Lure of the Lake
Lake Oconee, Georgia, located halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, is a man-made paradise with incredible beauty that makes it a great vacation destination for people of all ages. More than that, though, it's a community for those that are looking for a peaceful life filled with nature and beauty.
I, myself, am a member of that community. I moved to Reynolds in 2020 and started to hear the incredible stories of its residents. Join me, now, as we take a plunge into some fascinating stories of the many well-lived lives of our community and learn why they were Lured to the Lake.
