    Aug 21 2025

    Before we get into interviews, I wanted to introduce myself...

    I'm Jess and I've been fascinated with entertainment as long as I can remember, I always knew it was the industry for me. From grabbing coffee as an intern to interviewing Kacey Musgraves after she won her 8th Grammy and allll the embarrassing moments in between. Trust me, there's more where this came from.

    I do need to say a special thank you to the people that helped me along the way,. My mentor who helped me write countless outreach emails, my parents for letting me vent and cheering me on, my fiancé for watching all of my rough drafts, my manager and team for keeping me grounded and for taking all my last minute phone calls, and everyone else who's been supportive of me through this journey.

    See you on ep 2!
