This is a podcast where we sit down with some very successful people from the world of business, entertainment and sport about their life’s journey and what got them to the position that they’re in today.

In today’s episode we are chatting with Peter Costello

Peter was the longest standing treasurer that Australia has ever seen. He is also deemed the most successful.

With a law background, Peter realised that he didn’t want to just act on what the law was, but rather that he wanted to be a part of creating it.

There are things from his political career that he is proud of, and there are things that with the benefit of hindsight he might have changed.

There have been rumours of a falling out occurring between him and john howard for over a decade, and that Peter was promised the prime ministership before the falling out occurred. All of this is answered in this interview as well as some interesting things about his family life, life in Canberra and how he feels about how the country is being ran today.

As for all of these podcasts, Shaw and Partners have generously donated $10k to the charity of choice of each of our guests. 

The executive producer of this podcast is Keeshia Pettit. 

The host of this podcast is Gus Worland.
