About this listen


In our latest leadership podcast, Charles Tarbey shared valuable insights on the quest for purpose in life. He reflected on the tendency to lead comfortable but unfulfilled lives, particularly in Australia, where many achieve little yet find contentment. This raises the question of whether hard work and striving for success truly lead to fulfilment.

Tarbey highlighted the contrast between those who contribute meaningfully to society and those who do not, pondering why individuals who believe in an afterlife often fail to live fully. He emphasized that success is not solely defined by financial achievements but by the positive impact one makes.

Drawing on Kerry Packer’s near-death experience, during which he remarked, “There’s nothing there,” Tarbey underscored the uncertainty of life after death. He encouraged listeners to embrace life with purpose and authentically navigate its joys and challenges.

Ultimately, Tarbey urged individuals to pursue their passions for their own sake, seeking advice only when desired. His reflections remind us that our choices and actions in this life hold significant meaning, regardless of what may lie beyond.
