Under the Influence with Jo Piazza

Who Gets to Write History with Sharon McMahon

Listen Later

As a former history and government teacher Sharon McMahon thought she could do something to help combat all the misinformation and confusion she was seeing online in 2020. Since then her social media presence @SharonSaysSo has filled a vital need for clarity during complex times. Sharon cuts through the outrage, online vitriol and B.S. Her new book The Small and the Mighty is a hopeful and inspiring portrait of twelve ordinary Americans whose courage formed the character of our country.


In this episode we'll be talking about:

  • How Sharon grew from 12k Instagram followers to an audience of millions by giving people what they need and want.
  • How to bring others around to the right side of history.
  • How to influence people for the good.
  • How to give people the space to change and grow without being deleted or blocked.
