159. Balancing Fatherhood, Fitness, and Smash Hit Netflix Films with Writer/Director/Producer Rawson Thurber

Rawson Thurber last spoke on the podcast in Season 4, Episode 2 where he opened up about the writer/directing world. That was back in 2019, when he had an idea for a movie called Red Notice. Now, three years later, that movie has become the #1 Netflix Movie of All Time. With two more films planned for the franchise, a Dungeons & Dragons pilot, and a Voltron film in the works, Rawson stays busy. But when he's not off writing the next box office hit, Rawson is a father to three wonderful kids and husband to the incredible Sarah Koplin. In this episode, Rawson opens up about balancing all of his different hats and what made him start his fitness journey.
