    The $100,000 Product: Mike Handcock on Pricing, Belief and Playing a Bigger Game

    What if you're spending hours on AI and your business still isn't growing? In this episode of Business Breakthrough, Vincent Hovorka talks with Mike Handcock, an international speaker who has spoken on around 3,500 stages in 50 countries. Mike is also a former rock musician and a mentor to conscious leaders. Mike explains why AI is a tool, not a solution, and why personal, one-to-one marketing matters more than ever now that much of what we read online is machine-written. He shares how one simple piece of advice ("just double your price") changed his business. He tells the story of a client who tripled his prices once his wife took over the sales calls. And he explains how a single Facebook post from a villa in Italy launched a six-figure product. Mike and Vincent also discuss: Why relationships beat automation, and why the people who skip the room lose the businessHow travel and shared experiences create the kind of emotion that makes learning stickMike's mission to work with 432 conscious leaders and positively impact over a million livesWhat to do on the days you feel like giving up, and the three things that keep Mike goingIf you've ever doubted your value, undercharged for your work, or wondered whether it's all worth it, this conversation is for you.

    Redefining Healthcare: How Kristin Built STAT Wellness Into a Modern Medicine Movement

    In this episode of Business Breakthrough, Vincent sits down with Kristin, founder of STAT Wellness, to talk about reinventing healthcare from the ground up. After starting out as a personal trainer and later becoming a family nurse practitioner, Kristin grew frustrated with a system built for "sick care" rather than genuine health. That frustration became STAT Wellness — a membership-based model bringing personal trainers, physical therapists, functional medicine providers, health coaches, and dietitians under one roof, all for an accessible monthly price aimed at everyday people rather than the wealthy few. Now with roughly 10,000 patients, close to 80 employees, and its seventh and eighth locations on the way, STAT Wellness is growing fast — and Kristin is candid about what that really takes. She and Vincent get into why scaling is far harder than starting, how she protects company culture as the team spreads across cities, and the challenge of training functional medicine providers through an intensive eight-week residency. Along the way they dig into the health topics driving so much of today's conversation: water quality and ionization, the alarming reach of microplastics, gut health, and why small daily choices compound over time. Kristin also shares the leadership habits that keep her grounded — never losing sleep over a decision, refusing to react in the heat of the moment, and a simple pen-and-paper "brain dump" for separating what she can control from what she can't. A wide-ranging, practical conversation for anyone interested in health, functional medicine, or the reality of scaling a purpose-driven business.
