What makes for a life well lived?

It’s a question Marc Bineham has been exploring for more than 30 years. His career began in financial advice, helping people navigate life’s biggest decisions. But Marc discovered something early on – the most important conversations were rarely just about money.

They were about work, goals, family, relationships, happiness, purpose and success.

Across more than 10,000 conversations, Marc had a front-row seat to people’s lives. Many were successful and achieving more than ever, yet they were often giving their most precious resources – their time, energy and attention – without stopping to ask what really mattered. Marc became fascinated by a simple question:

What are we doing all this for?

Because success isn’t only about what we achieve. It’s also about the people we share it with, the experiences we have and the memories we create along the way. Those conversations shaped Marc’s philosophy and ultimately led to Ultramarine Thinking™ – a different way of thinking about what deserves more of us.

Today, Marc brings that philosophy to leaders and high-performing teams through memorable stories, humour and practical insights that challenge audiences to cut through the noise, get clear on what really matters and make more intentional choices about how they work, lead and live.

Marc’s perspective is backed by more than three decades in the financial advice profession, including four years as National President of his professional association. He is the award-winning author of The Money Sandwich, an experienced conference chair, and has been featured across Channel 9, Channel 7, SBS News, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian Financial Review.

Whether delivering a keynote, facilitating a conversation or working with an event organiser behind the scenes,

Marc brings the same philosophy:

Make it meaningful. Make it memorable. Make it matter.
