I'm Sharon McMahon.

#1 New York Times bestselling author, educator, and host of the chart-topping podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, Sharon McMahon is on a mission to educate, inspire, and empower.

A former high school government and law teacher, Sharon became known as "America’s Government Teacher" during the 2020 election for her viral efforts to combat political misinformation. Her knack for breaking down complex topics with clarity, humor, and a steadfast commitment to facts has attracted a community of over half a million followers—affectionately called the “Governerds.”

Sharon’s newsletter, The Preamble, is one of the largest publications on Substack, providing historical context and non-partisan insights to help readers navigate today’s political landscape. Her debut book, The Small and the Mighty, has been celebrated as one of the year’s top reads by Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Goodreads, highlighting the unsung heroes who shaped America.

Beyond education, Sharon leads philanthropic initiatives that have raised over $11 million to address critical needs, from medical debt relief to disaster recovery. She inspires audiences with a message of hope: history shows us that even small actions can create powerful change.

By inviting Sharon to speak, your audience will leave:

  • Informed about history, government, and current events.
  • Inspired to make a difference in their communities.
  • Empowered to bridge divides and engage in meaningful conversations.
