Mark Marais is an entrepreneur from Zimbabwe with deep roots in Belfast.

He’s the founder of the luxury travel business Africa Golf Safari and co-founder of the Sport Changes Life Foundation.

In this episode, we talk about:

Growing up on an idyllic African farm during the war
How sport helped with racial integration in his school
What Donald Draper can teach us about nostalgia
The difference between space and place
Starting his business even though it didn’t make any sense
Combining passion with entrepreneurship
His experience in and passion for Northern Ireland
And advice he’d give to his 19-year-old self.
