I love that more and more diasporas are coming back home investing and sharing their knowledge and experience. Thanks for inviting him MERI.

[@birukkifle4990]

Chef Mark and his popular patriotic wife (Maya) are doing their best to introduce our country to the world and they spend so much money on donations and investments in Ethiopia. Thanks guys for all you do and stay blessed 🙌

[@NA-no4vw]

Marcus is just a Gem. Wherever he goes, he takes his heart with him. And that is what makes him and his projects super speacial! His new ET restaurant is absolutely gorgeous! And the food devine!

የኔ ጀግና Chef Marcus, I'm so proud of you it wasn't easy, but you made it because you work hard and you gave your best and fought hard.. I wish I was in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 to see the beautiful restaurant in Addis Ababa ❤ but one day, I will come and see it in God's will..

[@YodaheZerihun]

[@AmanTadesse-cz7oy]

Insane Intro, i feel like i'm watching diary of a CEO

[@abellove3819]

ጥሩ የለየለት እንግሊዝኛ ይሻለናል

[@bemnettizazu9474]

A great show, am excited about the next guest. 👏 👏 But I have two comments 1. You have developed great questions but you should also work on your follow up conversation that are off the Peper and to build a great flow of conversation. 2. So is the purpose of the podcast to get to know this people or to learn about their leadership skills (Meri - a leader)?

[@bekausman6981]

you guys nailed it

[@mahderkidane5653]

amazing episode Meri's, but is it too late to include an Amharic subtitles to this amazing episode?

[@anwarsolomon6389]

U guys took the ethiopian podcast next level. Jegena!!❤

[@eyrusalembarega4848]

Big respect to you Chef Marcus ❤️

[@abemeshe]

Folks please try to look at this guy's projects from intern'l perspective. We should be proud of him.

[@First-Post5]

What makes Meri podcast special is that it is politically neutral and your world is only in business to encourage entrepreneurship. meri podcast is the number one podcast in Ethiopia.

[@endalkachewy]

[@Natis-tips]

Guys where is the amharic subtitle? Will not be watched by many

[@Black-lioness]

Upper class pay homage to Western values. They don’t care about the local people. The intro in Amharic but the rest of conversation is English a bit confusing.

[@bini6481]

I love the idea of collaboration with pp and if u need it or not i take it bro good job bro keep it up

[@amirbekele2605]

Make amharic subtitle!!! The podcast is great

[@morphed1106]

Some people like to bicker about how Markus “plays for the other team” what they don’t know is that he is married to the model Maya. Let’s keep the rumors in check guys, not everything needs to be bad

[@sublime-iq2cc]

[@K14TH14]

For the second consecutive week again, you came unprepared. Again no timestamp on when the interview was made despite making local time references. He says the restaurant opens 'tomorrow'. When is tomorrow? January 11,2024? I predict this podcast will not survive 2024. Pin it!

[@tisetube1]

it is you who will not survive in 2024🤣
