The Speaker Who Was
On The Other Side
Mark Aiston doesn’t speak about addiction.
He speaks from inside it — and from the other side of it.

Book Mark to SpeakAbout Mark
A story your audience will never 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 — 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 — giving audiences the framework, the words, and the human understanding that actually opens doors.
What Mark Speaks About
Three keynotes — each built from lived experience, not theory.
Keynote 01
The Conversation
How to talk to someone you love about their addiction — and actually be heard. Built from the inside out, for families, workplaces and anyone trying to reach someone who is struggling.
Keynote 02
Behind the Mask
The gap between how we appear and how we feel — and what happens when the mask finally comes off. A powerful keynote on authenticity, vulnerability and finding the courage to ask for help.
Keynote 03
The Way Out
What recovery actually looks like — not the polished version, but the real one. A keynote for organisations focused on mental health, wellbeing and creating cultures where people feel safe enough to speak up.
