Akula (Ah - Kool - Ah) means shark in Russian/Kazakh. It’s accidentally a play off of my own name and a reference to my own personal motto/mantra that has held me throughout some the most difficult times and challenges in my life for over a decade. It originally comes from a movie, where a character recites a song:

 “Раз пятнадцать он тонул, Погибал среди акул, Но ни разу даже глазом не моргнул.” 

Translation: “15 times he drowned, perished among the sharks, but not once did he even blink an eye” 

(Except it flows and rhymes in Russian)
