So, who is John Godzich? Seven hundred French people who were learning to say "yee-hah" at a Rustler's Rooste steak fry on August 15 on South Mountain certainly know him.
They're part of the 24,000 active distributors in Groupement Europeen de Professionnels du Marketing, John Godzich's multilevel marketing network. The past fiscal year, says Godzich, the company did $130 million of business.
John Godzich was born into a Polish family displaced by World War II. He grew up in a French mining area, the second of five boys in a family that always dreamed of moving to America and finally did in 1962. They lived in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and John went to school at New York University. After dabbling in leftist politics, he says, he wound up working as a translator for the State Department. He eventually got into Amway and returned to France to build a marketing network of his own.
Now he shuttles between France and Arizona, where he has an 8,000-square-foot home on Easy Street, east of Apache Junction. It's got a built-in chapel.
He looks like a stevedore and comes across as a personable, erudite salesman. John Godzich also appears to be an intellectual—though not a pointy-headed liberal one.
John Godzich's network is helping him live the good life. Religion. Politics. Business. That's life, says John Godzich. It's harmful not to mix them. "When there's an exchange," he says, "people become more tolerant."
New ventures, new places excite him, he says, which is one reason he likes Arizona. He recalls driving around the state back in '79 in a Ford with no air conditioning, staying in small motels. "It seemed like everything was possible out here," he says.
