As a kid, Eiji Morishita felt different from the other kids. He was the first child in his family to be born in the US, not speaking English until he was 5. Ridiculed for bringing bento boxes instead of the sandwiches all the other kids had, he would eat alone. Kids often made fun of his name, exacerbated by a substitute teacher who completely butchered it, with all the kids laughing. It was bad enough that he considered changing his name to John while in college. He spent a great deal of time as a kid in the restaurant his great grandparents had started, that his parents now owned. Initially, the restaurant clientele was just Japanese people, then non-Japanese starting coming to eat sushi, beginning with creatives and artists like Shirley MacLaine and William Shatner. When he was waiting tables in Jr. High at Santa Monica Place, they started serving hipsters dressed in Miami Vice outfits, as well as some local professional athletes. Once sushi’s popularity picked up steam, the violent opposition phase came, with news media questioning the health risks of serving raw fish and mercury poisoning. In 2004, his family opened two restaurants at the same time. His parents asked him to move back to LA to help them run the restaurants.  At first, they really struggled with the competition of thousands of sushi restaurants in LA. His parents were losing $10K-$20K per month, depending on the month. So he interviewed his family, learning their story. That’s when they realized they were pioneers in the sushi industry. They positioned themselves as America’s First Family of Sushi and garnered press from LA, NY Times and ABC News.  The added exposure got critics to check out and review them, which led to winning several awards for Best Sushi and Pioneer Award from the State of California. The exposure took them from $460K to $1.2M in less than two years, securing Eiji’s parents’ retirement. For the last seven years, Eiji, a/k/a “The Authority Genius” and founder of the Genius Millionaire Academy, has been running Movement Makers which is a training company that works with entrepreneurs on building and scaling their businesses, as well as developing their leadership skills. His current focus is to establish Movement Makers as the #1 training organization for empowering entrepreneurs and leaders to launch movements that impact millions of lives. Movement Makers is currently working on several movements in health, job training, emergency preparedness, satellite communications, veterans transition, and STEM.

In this episode of Soul-full Sunday   Mary, still processing the experience from the interview with our guest Chef Charles Carroll interview, poses the question “What does it take for a professional chef or athlete to separate themselves from the rest?” You can cultivate and grow over time to apply the skills developed in different ways and then parlay it into what you REALLY want to do. Remember, if you’re not growing and nurturing; you’re dying. Richard’s of the opinion we celebrate the winners too much; we need to stick up for #2.   www.gowithyourgut.net   Share your thoughts …

It wasn’t John David Mann’s plan to become an entrepreneur, but it seems that it is destined to work that way.  At just fifteen, he won the prestigious BMI Awards to Student Composers, receiving the award at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, where he met William Schumann and Leopold Stokowski. While apprenticing as a choral conductor under his father, Dr. Alfred Mann, he had the opportunity to meet such legendary figures of classical music as Randall Thompson, Leonard Bernstein, Boris Goldovsky, Robert Shaw, and George Crumb. John’s musical compositions were performed throughout the U.S. and his musical score for Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound (written at age thirteen) was performed as part of a theatrical production of the play at the stone amphitheater in Epidaurus, Greece – where the play was originally premiered a few thousand years earlier. At seventeen, John and a few of his friends started their own high school in New Jersey, called Changes, Inc, with many students being placed in schools such as Harvard and Yale. He joined the faculty of the school after graduation and has subsequently taught students from all walks of life. John founded Solstice, a journal on health, nutrition, and environmental issues, in 1986. His series on the climate crisis, “Whither the Trees?”, was selected for national reprint in 1989 in Utne Reader for a readership of over one hundred thousand.  In 1992, John helped write and produce the underground bestseller, The Greatest Networker in the World, by John Milton Fogg, which became the defining book in its industry. During the 1990s, he built a multimillion-dollar sales and distribution organization of over a hundred thousand people. He was co-founder and senior editor of the legendary Upline Journal and editor in chief of Networking Times. A New York Times bestselling author, John’s writings have earned the Axiom Business Book Award (Gold Medal, for The Go-Giver), the Nautilus Award (for A Deadly Misunderstanding), and Taiwan’s Golden Book Award for Innovation (for You Call the Shots). His books are currently published in more than two dozen languages and have sold more than 2 million copies. The Go-Giver was also honored with the Living Now Book Awards Evergreen Medal in 2017 for its contributions to positive global change, and cited on Inc.’s “Most Motivational Books Ever Written” and HubSpot’s “20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time”; The Go-Giver Leader was listed on Entrepreneur magazine’s “10 Books Every Leader Should Read” and Forbes magazine’s “8 Books Every Young Leaders Should Read.” His 2012 Take the Lead (with Betsy Myers) was named Best Leadership Book of 2011 by Tom Peters and the Washington Post.
