Sharon McMahon on The Unsung Americans Who Altered the Course of History

“The people that history smiles most kindly upon, are the ones who just kept doing the next needed thing.” These words from Sharon McMahon remind us that making a difference is not accomplished through fame or fortune, but by taking consistent action. Sharon joins Ryan today to talk about the stories of hidden trail blazers, unknown symbolism in the Statue of Liberty, and the change-makers she chose to include in her new book The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement.After years as a high school government teacher, Sharon McMahon now runs the non-partisan, fact-based Instagram account @sharonsaysso. In her book The Small and the Mighty, Sharon proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks.Check out Sharon’s podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting and follow her on Instagram @SharonSaysSo and X @Sharon_Says_So📚 You can grab signed copies of The Small and the Mighty by Sharon McMahon at The Painted Porch. 🎟 Ryan Holiday is going on tour!
