I'm Sharon McMahon.

And I wholeheartedly believe every person can make a difference. After years as a government, history, and law teacher, I took my passion for educating to Instagram.

People started calling me "America’s Government Teacher," and my audience grew to more than 1.1 million people, who affectionately call themselves Governerds.

I host the podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, which has more than 1.2 million downloads a month, and is ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts.

Along with my community, I’ve raised more than $9 million for a number of important causes.

I'm here to help!
