The Value of Intentionality in Life and Business with Hannah Douglass van Zanten

BLOOM COLLECTIVE PODCAST · 2026-05-20 · 54 min

Episode notes

Today I have a very special guest Hannah, a dual American-Canadian citizen who married my Cousin, Jacob. We've been collaborators for over 6 years but family for 7! Hannah is 3 months postpartum with her first baby, and currently runs J&H Creative Co. with her husband doing photo/video for weddings and businesses. In this episode, we talk about the value of meaningful relationships and inentionally in our business. We also reflect on our meeting at Hannah's Tennessee wedding, Hannah's early behind-the-scenes support for Bloom, and how a spontaneous decision to bring a camera to a VIP mastermind revealed Hannah's photography talent and led to her starting her own photography business. Our conversation emphasizes building deep, values-aligned, service-oriented relationships over transactional ones, supporting team members' growth, and approaching business with open hands rather than scarcity or competition. Hannah shares postpartum lessons on creating her own maternity leave and choosing what's "fruitful vs. productive," while both discuss protecting creativity amid AI and constant productivity pressure.
