When I hear someone's story I often think to myself, "If people only knew, then maybe we could make some real change." If we don't know about a problem, we certainly can't fix it. It's time the world heard these stories.

If People Only Knew with Anna Matson
#29 - Sheriff Chris Swanson: Running for Michigan Governor

Chris Swanson is the Genesee County Sheriff best known for peacefully walking with residents during the George Floyd riots and reducing recidivism through his IGNITE program.


Now running for Michigan Governor in 2026, many say “where there’s a camera, there’s a Swanson.” So I wanted to sit down and get to know the man beyond the one-minute clips.


We talk about his family life, the recent Grand Blanc tragedy, safe patient ratios, reducing crime, vaccine mandates, transparency in government, and more.

#15- Anna Matson: The Downfall of Political Movements

If People Only Knew the downfall of political movements. 


This past year, I attended political events for four different political parties and this is what I learned. These movements start out with sincere, well intended people but they soon get taken over by other voices. I discuss who these people are and how we can overcome it.

#14- Amy Hillman: Behind the Scenes of Elections

If People Only Knew how elections really work behind the scenes. 


You know you have to register to vote and then you vote in an election - but what happens behind the scenes?


I sat down with Amy Hillman who is an election worker to find out how poll workers are hired, the checks in place to register someone to vote, when they start counting ballots, and what oversight there is to ensure an accurate vote count. 


She even tells us where corruption could be hiding if there is any.

#10 - Tiffany Cianci

If People Only Knew that a huge economic burst is coming. 


Tiffany Ciance took over her small business and now they are taking over everything. Joann, Party City, Hooters, and more are seeing the consequences of private equity. 


Now we could see the biggest economic collapse since 2008, but there may be hope. President Trump has flirted with the idea of closing the carried interest loophole. It’s time to put pressure on the administration.

If People Only Knew with Anna Matson
When I hear someone's story I often think to myself, "If people only knew, then maybe we could make some real change." If we don't know about a problem, we certainly can't fix it. It's time the world heard these stories.
