The Daily Dad

It's our job to show our kids that they have the power to instigate change within themselves and their communities, regardless of external circumstances. Sharon McMahon, author of The Small and the Mighty, talks with Ryan about how parents can instill hope in their kids and show them that making a difference is accessible. Sharon is known as “America’s Government Teacher,” and after years as a high school government teacher, Sharon now runs the non-partisan, fact-based Instagram account @sharonsaysso. Sharon just released her book, The Small and the Mighty, where she proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks.📚 You can grab signed copies of The Small and the Mighty by Sharon McMahon at The Painted Porch. 🎙️Listen to Sharon’s FULL interview on The Daily Stoic podcast | Apple Podcasts & SpotifyCheck out Sharon’s podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting and follow her on Instagram @SharonSaysSo and on X @Sharon_Says_SoKiwiCo | Get up to 50% off your first crate at kiwico.com with promo code DAILY DADAura | Get $35 off with code DAILY DAD at auraframes.com ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Dad email: DailyDad.com 📱 Follow Daily Dad: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
