Hey everyone! I'm Stanko Zovak and your host of the All Things Croatia podcast. Growing up as a member of the Croatian diaspora in Los Angeles, I was always involved in the community but wanted to do more. One year ago I made the choice to quit my job and move to Zagreb where I'm studying the Croatian language and now focusing my efforts on this podcast.With this weekly series, I want to connect the global Croatian community and allow people to share stories, learn about new ventures, and discover "All Things Croatia" as I talk (in English) with people both in the Homeland and around the globe who have connections to Croatia. You'll hear from the latest startups, returning diaspora, influencers, Olympians (believe it!), musicians, app developers, tour guides, artists, athletes, and the biggest Croatian celebrities that will return my calls! I hope you enjoy these weekly episodes as much as I do while recording them, and thanks so much for your support! Follow on Instagram at @allthingscroatiapodcast for more content and videos!

More specifically, they run webinars, organize events, and develop resources to help Croats around the world to do more business and ultimately return to Croatia. In this episode we hear how that started and how CroDiaspora can help. We also talk about Croatia's change to the Euro and the effects that will have on the economy, as well as ways to go about promoting better policies from the Croatian government.Website: <a href="https://crodiaspora.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://crodiaspora.com/</a>Insta: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crodiaspora_/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/crodiaspora_/</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crodiasporasummit/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/crodiasporasummit/</a>

Interview with Mate Pavković, and John Gašparac - CroDiaspora

Hey everyone! I'm Stanko Zovak and your host of the All Things Croatia podcast. Growing up as a member of the Croatian diaspora in Los Angeles, I was always involved in the community but wanted to do more. One year ago I made the choice to quit my job and move to Zagreb where I'm studying the Croatian language and now focusing my efforts on this podcast. With this weekly series, I want to connect the global Croatian community and allow people to share stories, learn about new ventures, and discover "All Things Croatia" as I talk (in English) with people both in the Homeland and around the globe who have connections to Croatia. You'll hear from the latest startups, returning diaspora, influencers, Olympians (believe it!), musicians, app developers, tour guides, artists, athletes, and the biggest Croatian celebrities that will return my calls! I hope you enjoy these weekly episodes as much as I do while recording them, and thanks so much for your support! Follow on Instagram at @allthingscroatiapodcast for more content and videos!
