Peter Salerno is the host of Happy Business Radio, which airs every Monday from 2-3 pm on Radio Italia Uno.

He is thankful for his listeners around the world, especially those in Adelaide. He has been receiving messages from people who were considering closing their businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic but were inspired by his guests to keep going.

He emphasizes that his guests are the ones who inspire listeners and tell stories of what they've done to succeed in business.

One particular example of a business that was able to stay afloat was due to Peter's guests encouraging them to keep their expectations high and fly out of the pandemic.

Peter also mentions another client from 2017-2018 who was about to close their business but was able to turn it around.

The speaker is thanking listeners from around the world for tuning into their podcast.

He tells the story of one listener in particular, an Adelaide business owner who was ready to shut up shop but was inspired by the podcast to keep going and grow his business by 400%.

The speaker also talks about how people in places like Iceland, Argentina and Chile have started using the podcast as part of their networking meetings and how it has spread all the way to India and Thailand. He then introduces his special guest Rex Buckingham, a friend of his who has known for a long time.

Rex is a business consultant and manager who has written a book called 'Develop Through Leadership Thinking'. In the book, Rex examines how to change one's thoughts and beliefs in order to develop leadership skills.

He suggests that if we hang around people who are negative, we will tend to become negative ourselves, and therefore need to be selective about the company we keep. He also stresses the importance of decision-making and encourages people to make decisions to listen to positive advice, in order to develop strong leadership skills.

This conversation is about understanding the importance of having people who can provide you with the support and advice you need.

The speaker talks about how it is important to own your ability to make decisions, but also to be willing to talk to people and tell them the truth if you are struggling. He then tells the story of a man who had two businesses that were doing poorly and he was unable to figure out how to turn them around.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of finding coaches, mentors, and positive people to talk to in order to get the right advice and help.

He stresses the need to seek out experts in different fields for the advice and help you need, rather than relying on family or friends for advice that is not in their area of expertise.
