Joseph Sakoda aka Da Rulk has a background in kinesiology and biomechanics. He devised a functional training program, Raw Functional Training, that would provide an intense workout without the need for specific equipment – or even a gym. His outlook on fitness is one that bases itself on improving your quality of life far beyond the exterior markers that we usually associate with the fitness industry. Although famous for training Chris Hemsworth and Josh Brolin for their roles as Thor and Thanos, he finds his true calling in training firefighters, first responders, and absolutely anyone who wants to attain true fitness.

WHO AM I:
Hello! I’m Varun Duggirala, content creator, podcast host and co-founder of The Glitch, now a leading New Age creative agency. I’m the host of Advertising Is Dead, on which I talk about the ongoing and ever-changing developments in advertising, media, content and entertainment. On my latest podcast The Varun Duggi Show, I pick the brains of some really interesting people - media personalities, entrepreneurs, influencers and more - for compelling conversations on what really makes them who they are. I also put out a weekly newsletter, Unschooled with Varun Duggirala.
