In this #Sardeafterdinner, we reconnect with our friend, stand-up comedian, entrepreneur, and NEW late-night talk show host John Achkar. The three of us discuss the fear of failure, the rush to get back up again, create in the face of adversity and thrive outside our comfort zone. Here’s what we talked about:
-From stand-up comedy to TV: is freedom of expression at stake?
-Nightmarish reviews from new audiences
-Pop Culture War vs Actual War
-Are Lebanese people resilient or just in denial?
-Stories about failure, success & grit from Médéa, Mouin and John
في هذه الحلقة من #سردة، نعاود الالتقاء بصديقنا والكوميدي الستاند أب ورائد الأعمال ومقدم برنامج طار الوقت الجديد جون أشقر. نناقش معاً الخوف من الفشل والهمة للنهوض من جديد والإبداع رغم كل الصعاب والتحديات. ناقشنا في هذه الحلقة:
-من الستاند أب كوميدي إلى عالم التلفزيون: هل حرية التعبير في خطر؟
-تعليقات كابوسية من الجمهور
-حرب المشاهير مقابل الحرب الحقيقية القائمة
-هل الشعب اللبناني صامد أم في حالة إنكار؟
-قصص من ميديا ومعين وجون عن الفشل والنجاح والعزيمة

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
