GUEST: Mark Atherton — Founder, On Your Mark Graphics

In this episode of Recalibrate, Leon sits down with longtime entrepreneur Mark Atherton, owner of On Your Mark Graphics, a Murrieta-based graphic design company he has led for 28 years.

Mark didn’t originally set out to start his own business. But one day, he received a piece of advice from someone who saw something in him and that moment changed everything.

Mark chose to bet on himself.  That decision launched a decades-long career built on discipline, creativity, relationship-building, and resilience.

In this conversation, Mark opens up about:

• The advice that pushed him toward entrepreneurship
• How he transitioned from employee to independent graphics broker
• The habits and mindset that sustained his business for nearly three decades
• Lessons learned through wins, losses, and adapting to change
• His honest advice for young people entering today’s unpredictable world
• How AI is impacting business and the opportunities it creates
• The personal story behind his growth and longevity

This episode is a grounded and honest look at what it really takes to build something from nothing and keep it alive long enough to call it a legacy.
