Entrepreneur Dick Smith is best known for his groundbreaking chain of electronics stores that grew to humble beginnings in the late 1960s to a billion-dollar empire. His love of electronics was rivalled only by his passion for adventure, which saw him complete the first solo helicopter flight around the world in 1983. A renowned philanthropist, he's also active in politics and public affairs.

In this episode, Dick discusses the many highs and lows of his career, the life lessons he's taken away, and his keys to personal, corporate and national resilience.
