All Heart & All In: A Conversation with Photographer & Podcaster John Mansfield

Victoria B. Glass — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 19:45:14 -0500

In this inspiring episode, I’m joined by the incredibly talented John Mansfield, the creative heart behind All Heart Photography based in Texas. John’s stunning work captures the beauty of love, connection, and everyday moments between couples and families...but there’s so much more to his story.

We dive into John’s creative process, not just behind the camera but also behind the mic as host of the podcast Wisdom in the Tangents. He opens up about the journey of building his photography business from the ground up, the unexpected lessons along the way, and how he balances creativity with his roles as a devoted husband and father.

Whether you're a creative entrepreneur, a fellow photographer, or someone looking for encouragement in your own journey, this episode is full of heart, insight, and real talk you won't want to miss.

Writing History with Dan Heiser

Victoria Blackmon — Sun, 26 May 2024 19:09:53 -0500

They say history repeats itself, but Dan Heiser is making sure we remember it in a whole new way.

It’s tragic how easily most of us forget important past events and world-changing figures who've shaped our world. But for historian and published author, Dan Heiser, the past is anything but forgotten. That’s because he is a historian and published author. Through his immersive 1940s historical fiction, Heiser is bringing the stories of the past to life, reminding us of the struggles, triumphs and lessons of those who came before us.

In this episode of the Contagious Victories podcast, Dan and I talk about his passion for writing and how he finds inspiration with other readers and writers.
