Having achieved the highest Michelin restaurant guide rating of three stars and widely considered the most accomplished sushi chef in the entire world, Chef Ono is truly an exception. In fact, it’s safe to say that he’s a living and breathing embodiment of the Japanese concept of ikigai that roughly translates to “reason for being.”

Like Chef Ono, we must always strive to hit the “sweet spot” — something that combines a craft or activity that we are truly passionate about, that we are determined to pursue excellence in, and that can help us make our highest contribution to the world and in return get decently paid for.
