Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell welcome Nory Boulton — the Texas mom, public education advocate, and “accidental influencer” behind @CivicSage and who built over 350k+ followers from scratch — whose viral videos calling out billionaire Greg Parker reached Mandy at one of the loneliest moments of her legal battle…. all that and so much more.
Nory shares how she went from PTA president to political powerhouse (fun fact: the video that got her pushed out of the PTA now has 4 million views), why she trusts her gut over a content calendar, and how she connects the dots legacy media won’t.
Together, the trio digs into the manufactured war between journalists and creators, the double standard women face for daring to monetize their work, and why the patriarchy fears nothing more than a woman who refuses to stay pleasant.
