Mark Fujiwara

Too often, the leaders who look like they “have it all” wake up each night in a cold sweat. They’re plagued by anxiety, depression, and thoughts of suicide—all while needing to inspire confidence in shareholders, break new ground in business, and keep chasing after success. 

For unaligned executives, exiting a company can create a time of deep crisis. The cracks they hid under their executive masks can no longer be hidden after the pursuit of success ends or changes. They’re left with all the difficulties and imperfections they ran from in the first place.

Mark Fujiwara views these “cracks” with a kintsugi-inspired approach, drawing on the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. For Mark, these breaking points can become sites of strengths when leaders pursue real inner work, find and lead with peace, and uncover their ikigai—their highest purpose.

With over two decades of experience in wealth management, and after a powerful personal journey with his own mental health, Mark is changing the conversation around mental wellbeing for high-achieving executives.

Through wealth architecture, curated transformation experiences, personal writings, and speaking engagements, Mark guides leaders toward their purpose, helping them address mental health challenges and find joy, presence, and alignment

Mark Fujiwara works closely with clients through the Harada Method—a Japanese goal-setting system used by Shohei Ohtani's high school coach—to help them put down their masks, get in touch with their pain, map their 64-task path to their one-year goal, and reach Ichigo Ichie, a state of being entirely and intentionally present.

Mark's guidance integrates emotional excavation with practitioners like Dr. Stelios Nicolakis, physical optimization through the Modern Samurai Way (sprint training, cold plunges, intermittent fasting), and wealth alignment through conscious capital deployment.

Mark guides and transforms leaders who are struggling with their mental health; preparing for executive exits that lead to greater alignment; or seeking to redefine their views of wealth, success, and presence. His style is based in authenticity, relationship building, and supporting mental wellbeing.
