In a world that feels louder, faster, and more divided than ever, meaningful conversation has become both rare and essential.

This episode of Happy Business Radio invites listeners to slow down, lean in, and reconnect with the power of thoughtful communication — not just in business, but in life.

Peter Salerno is joined by Jeremy Cordeaux AM, one of Australia’s most trusted and recognisable voices, for a conversation shaped by decades of lived experience, curiosity, and human connection.

Jeremy’s journey through broadcasting, public life, and community engagement offers a powerful reminder that real influence isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room — it’s about listening, understanding, and responding with integrity.

Throughout the discussion, Jeremy reflects on the responsibility that comes with communication. He shares how trust is built slowly, how credibility is earned through consistency, and why authenticity has never been more important. In an age of instant opinion and digital noise, this episode highlights the value of calm, respectful dialogue and the impact it can have on relationships, leadership, and decision-making.

The conversation also explores change, not as something to fear, but as something to approach with curiosity and humility.

Jeremy speaks openly about staying relevant across decades, adapting without losing core values, and remaining open to learning at every stage of life.

His reflections resonate deeply with business owners, professionals, and community leaders navigating uncertainty while striving to remain grounded and purposeful.

This episode is ultimately a reminder that success is not measured solely by achievements or recognition, but by the quality of our conversations and the way we treat people along the way.

It encourages listeners to pause, reflect, and consider how they communicate — with colleagues, clients, communities, and themselves.

Warm, insightful, and deeply human, this discussion leaves listeners with a renewed appreciation for listening, leadership, and the quiet power of thoughtful conversation.

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Peter Salerno welcomes a very special guest — his brother, Tony Salerno — for a wide-ranging conversation that blends business wisdom with life experience. With more than five decades in the building and construction industry, Tony reflects on a career shaped by curiosity, resilience, and a refusal to stay still.

Tony shares his journey through engineering, construction, renovations, steel framing, training, inspections, and specialist services, highlighting how diversification within an industry can create opportunity and longevity.

Rather than remaining in one role or trade, Tony explains how learning from others, seeking mentors, and stepping into unfamiliar territory allowed him to grow both professionally and personally.

The conversation explores the realities of failure, the value of practical experience over theory, and why “having a go” is often the difference between regret and fulfilment. Peter and Tony discuss mindset, motivation, partnerships, support networks, and why asking for help is a strength — not a weakness.

This episode is not just about business or building — it’s about life. It encourages listeners to stay curious, keep learning, surround themselves with the right people, and remember that happiness, purpose, and contribution matter just as much as financial success.
