In this very special Things You Can’t Un-Hear LIVE EVENT, Maritza Barone sits down with the remarkable Barry Du Bois in front of an audience at the exclusive Hinterland Health Retreat in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. You can discover more about this beautiful sanctuary at Hinterland Health Retreat | Revolutionary Neuro-Tech and Holistic Wellness Solutions .

Barry is a builder turned beloved television presenter, most recognised for his roles on The Renovators and as a co-host on The Living Room. Beyond his television career, he has become a powerful advocate for mental health and resilience, sharing his personal story with a raw honesty that has touched thousands.

His life has been marked by extraordinary challenges—surviving a 14-metre fall that shattered his spine, walking through the pain of multiple IVF attempts and his wife’s cervical cancer, and then facing his own diagnosis of a rare blood cancer that later progressed to incurable multiple myeloma. Many years ago Barry was told he had just three months to live, yet here he is today, defying the odds and living with profound intention.

In our conversation Barry opens up about what it truly means to face adversity with courage, vulnerability, and authenticity. He shares how connection, community, and a commitment to purpose have shaped his path and continue to fuel his optimism. Barry’s perspective on life, love, grief, and growth is as inspiring as it is transformative, reminding us all that resilience is not about being unbreakable—it’s about how we rise, adapt, and continue to love deeply through every season of life.

This episode is a raw, moving, and unforgettable conversation with one of Australia’s most inspiring voices.

Barry is ambassador for RUOK Day & The Leukemia Foundation - if you are facing any personal challenges please reach out to them for support.
