In Short:

Barry DuBois is well known for his career as a builder and television presenter.

He has become a familiar face on Australian screens, recognised for his openness and resilience—particularly after overcoming cancer twice.

His health challenges have shaped both his perspective and the way he approaches his work.

Following major surgery, he now lives with a titanium rod in his skull, a lasting reminder of his experience.

Barry speaks openly about the importance of family, kindness, and living with intention.

He is committed to sharing what he’s learned in order to support and encourage others.

In conversation with Penny Lane, founder of The Perfect Cosmetics Company., Barry reflects on the values that guide him.

Their discussions explore how adversity can clarify what matters most in life.

Together, they aim to inspire thoughtful, honest conversations about resilience and purpose.

Barry continues to use his platform to advocate for meaningful connection and personal growth.
