    S3 Ep2: Honoring a Female Aviation Legend
    Sep 18 2025
    Join us in this exciting interview as VIE Book Club host / VIE magazine editor, Jordan Staggs, chats with filmmaker and creative Jessica Anderson.


    Jessica is a California native who moved to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, in 2013. She has worked in marketing and social media management, where she ultimately gained her passion for storytelling and videography. She is the founder of That Girl Media, offering a range of services, including production, filming, editing, and photography, and works with companies across the Florida Panhandle and beyond. Her latest venture and passion project was producing and directing The Flight of Jackie Cochran, which combines rare archival footage, expert insights, and evocative performances to tell the story of a Northwest Florida aviation hero, Jackie Cochran. The film offers a compelling and timely portrait of a woman who defied limits in the WWII era, redefined gender roles in wartime, and broke flight speed records while never forgetting her lipstick. Jackie Cochran was one of the 20th century’s most influential aviators and played a critical role in establishing women’s place in military aviation.

    S3 Ep1: More Than A Meal
    Aug 26 2025
    Join us in this exciting interview as VIE Book Club host / VIE magazine editor, Jordan Staggs, chats with Chef Chris Infinger of Panama City, Florida.

    Chris, although his résumé might say chef, is a storyteller at heart. He weaves stories about food and tells tales through food. Growing up, Chris always knew he wanted to serve and take care of people. Cooking was an early passion of his, and he soon realized the hospitality industry offered numerous opportunities for creativity and fulfillment by taking care of others and crafting a narrative with each meal. He now hosts "Doing Dinner with Chef Chris" on National Public Radio. Each week, he plans a dinner party live on the air and then executes it later. If that wasn’t enough to fill his plate, Chris is a professor at Gulf Coast State College in the Culinary department. He aims to make an impact and improve his area through his students. Chris is also a big advocate for supporting your local farmers and fishermen, and even gives us the lowdown on which fruits and vegetables we should be eating each season! Bon appétit!
