Fed up with biased reporting and inaccuracies in the news and on social media, former government teacher Sharon McMahon decided to do something about it. She began posting non-partisan educational videos on Instagram to break down misinformation and give viewers easy-to-understand explanations of political news. Little did she know it would turn into a movement. In our conversation, she explains how she examines all sides of an issue to get to the facts and reminds us that listening to someone else’s viewpoint doesn’t obligate you to agree, but it does express empathy. Then she shares the amazing story of how she engaged her followers to donate enough to forgive $56 million dollars of medical debt in just 5 days! And she offers up insights on how she’s built successful businesses and reminds us that the more money you make, the more good you can do in the world.
What you will learn:
People need fact-based information The power of social media communities Most of us want the same things Fear is a powerful motivator The danger of same-thinking You don’t have to care about everything How to listen and understand without agreeing Your business needs money to exist
Quotes:
“I found that people are hungry for just fact-based information that is not trying to convince them to vote a certain way.” – Sharon McMahon “They didn’t need to have thousands of dollars to make a difference. They didn’t need to be independently wealthy. Their small gift could be a force for good in the world.” – Sharon McMahon “My goal is always to give people peace and clarity about what is happening in the United States.” – Sharon McMahon “We differ on definitions and journeys, but we don’t differ on the destination.” – Sharon McMahon “Being able to see a variety of viewpoints helps you make up your more educated mind instead of just going with what your friend said.” – Sharon McMahon “That’s not the role of any one human to know and do and be and make up their mind about everything happening in the world. That’s not your responsibility.” – Sharon McMahon “My position is that understanding someone else’s viewpoint is actually extraordinarily useful to you. It does not obligate you to then reach the same conclusion. It does not obligate you to agree with them.” – Sharon McMahon “I wanted to reach out to people who are walking in shoes that I wasn’t wearing.” – Derrick Kinney “One of the things I tell people is that the more money you make, the more good you can do in the world.” – Sharon McMahon
