I'm Sharon McMahon.

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

I became known as "America’s Government Teacher" during the 2020 election for my viral efforts to combat political misinformation. My knack for breaking down complex topics with clarity, humor, and a steadfast commitment to facts has attracted a community of one and a half million followers—affectionately called the “Governerds.”

My 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. My 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, I've led philanthropic initiatives that have raised over $11 million to address critical needs, from medical debt relief to disaster recovery. I have inspired audiences with a message of hope: history shows us that even small actions can create powerful change.

By inviting me 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.
