A story your audience won't forget.
For years, Mark Aiston was a familiar face on Channel 10 in Adelaide. Sports presenter. Public figure. From the outside, everything looked fine.
Underneath, he was struggling with addiction β and the people who loved him kept trying to reach him. None of it worked. Until one night in Glenelg, when two people showed up differently. That dinner changed everything.
Seven years on, Mark speaks from the inside of that experience β giving audiences the framework, the words, and the human understanding that actually opens doors.
Coming Soon
The Conversation
For families with a loved one struggling with addiction who don't know what to say. Built from the dinner that saved Mark's life, The Conversation gives you the exact words, the framework, and the confidence to finally have the conversation that matters most — before it's too late.
