🎙️✨ NEW EPISODE – A CONVERSATION ABOUT LIFE, WORK & HAVING A GO ✨🎙️

This week on Happy Business Radio, we bring you a very special and deeply personal episode featuring Tony Salerno — master builder, mentor, and lifelong learner — in a powerful conversation titled:

“Have a Go: A Lifetime of Lessons in Business, Building & Belief”

🎧 Listen to the episode here:
👉 https://pod.co/happy-business-radio/tony-salerno-have-a-go-a-lifetime-of-lessons-in-business-building-belief

In this episode, Peter Salerno sits down with his brother Tony to reflect on more than 50 years of real-world experience across the building and construction industry — and the life lessons that came with it.

This is not a polished, textbook business chat.
It’s honest.
It’s practical.
And it’s full of wisdom you only get from doing the work.

🛠️ In this episode, we talk about:
• Why experience is often the greatest teacher
• What “having a go” really means in business and life
• Learning through failure — not avoiding it
• Staying curious and adaptable over decades
• Diversifying skills instead of standing still
• The importance of mentors, partnerships, and support
• Why happiness, purpose, and contribution matter just as much as success

Tony shares stories from his journey through engineering, construction, steel framing, renovations, training, inspections, and mentoring — showing how growth comes from being willing to step outside your comfort zone.

This episode is for:
👷 Trades and construction professionals
📈 Business owners and entrepreneurs
🧠 Anyone feeling stuck or unsure about their next step
❤️ People who value learning, resilience, and real conversations

💬 One of the strongest messages from this episode:
You don’t have to have it all figured out — you just have to be willing to have a go.

🍿🎙️NEW EPISODE – A STORY YOU NEED TO HEAR 🎙️🍿

Sam Weavers: From Kitchen Bench to National Brand – Sam’s Popcorn Success Story

What were you doing at 9 years old?
Playing footy? Riding bikes? Saving pocket money?

Sam Weavers was starting a business. 😲

In this powerful and genuinely inspiring episode of Happy Business Radio, I sit down with Sam Weavers, the founder of Sam’s Popcorn, to unpack a journey that proves entrepreneurship has nothing to do with age — and everything to do with mindset, courage, and consistency.

Sam shares how a simple idea at the family kitchen bench turned into a real business, one that has grown through:
🍿 Trial and error
🍿 Reinvesting every dollar back into the business
🍿 Learning about food safety, machinery, and production
🍿 Being taken seriously in rooms where most people underestimated him
🍿 Supplying major locations including Adelaide Airport
🍿 Balancing business growth with study and life
🍿 Giving back through fundraising for childhood cancer

This episode goes far beyond popcorn.

It’s about:
💡 Backing yourself when others doubt you
💡 Learning by doing instead of waiting to feel “ready”
💡 Making smart decisions with money and growth
💡 Surrounding yourself with the right people
💡 Understanding that failure is part of success
💡 Building a business with purpose, not ego

Whether you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, start-up founder, parent, teacher, or someone sitting on an idea thinking “maybe one day” — this conversation will challenge your thinking and inspire action.

Sam’s story is a reminder that:
👉 You don’t need permission to start
👉 You don’t need perfect conditions
👉 You just need to begin
