    Bank Account in 30 Minutes, 0% Property Tax: Eric Tan on Investing in Georgia's Emerging Market

    Why would an entrepreneur from Singapore move to Batumi, Georgia? In this episode of Business Breakthrough, Vincent Hovorka talks with Eric Tan, Head of International Sales at Silk Road Group, the largest conglomerate in the Caucasus region. Eric's job is to open the Asian market for Silk Towers, a seaside mixed-use development in Batumi designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Eric explains why he sees Georgia as a truly emerging market, and why, after watching people miss out on Bitcoin at $300 and Dubai 20 years ago, he chose to be on the ground this time. He shares what investors there are seeing: rental returns of 8 to 12% a year, capital growth of around 12 to 15%, no capital gains tax, no property tax, no inheritance tax, and interest-free developer instalments on apartments from around $120,000. Eric and Vincent also discuss: How a foreigner can open a bank account in Batumi in 30 minutes, with no minimum deposit and accounts in four currenciesThe buying process: foreigners can legally own property, there's no stamp duty, and registration costs under $100Why Chinese buyers are slow to trust, and why speaking their language opens doorsWhy Batumi draws around three million tourists a year, from the beach to affordable skiingWhy a day or two in person builds more trust than twenty Zoom callsIf you've ever wondered whether to invest in property abroad, and how it actually works in a new country, this episode is for you.

    Betrayed, Shut Down, Rebuilt: Sarah Taylor's Lessons in Business Resilience

    Can AI make your business more personal instead of less? In this episode of Business Breakthrough, Vincent Hovorka talks with Sarah Taylor, a multi-business entrepreneur from Windsor, Ontario. Sarah built the largest bridal store in southwestern Ontario over 23 years. She then bought a 90-year-old bridal wholesale company just before COVID and tripled its sales in three years. Today she is a partner in an AI agency with JT Fox. Sarah shares how she uses AI in her bridal business without losing the emotional, one-to-one experience her brides love. She uses automated follow-ups, analyses customer feedback to guide what she buys, and can show a bride a dress in a new colour within seconds. She also explains why small business owners who wear every hat have the most to gain from AI. One example is how she helped a friend save around $5,500 on a website. Sarah and Vincent also discuss: Why building simple, repeatable systems early makes adopting AI much easierUsing data instead of memory to understand what's really sellingThe biggest fears holding business owners back from AI, including securityHow a painful betrayal by long-time employees became the fire that pushed her to reinvent her businessHow she pivoted during COVID while competitors waitedIf you're a small business owner who knows you need AI but doesn't know where to start, this episode is for you.

    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.
