#1 New York Times bestselling author, educator, and host of the chart-topping podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, Sharon McMahon is redefining how we communicate, by turning confusion into clarity, inspiring change, and teaching others how to take action by doing the next needed thing.
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 one and a half a million followers— affectionately called the “Governerds.”
