Sharuki nous rappelle aussi l'importance de suivre ses rêves, de créer de l'émotion à travers son art, et de s'entourer des bonnes personnes pour réussir.Ne manquez pas cette histoire inspirante d'une artiste qui brille par son talent et sa détermination !N'oubliez pas que nos invités acceptent de bon cœur de se livrer sur leur parcours et qu'il s'agit d'être humains réels avec des avis forgés par leur vie, et de bien vouloir rester constructif et bienveillant dans vos commentaires les visant.Bonne écoute---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CHAPITRES :0:00Introduction0:01:15 Question anti-stress00:01:45 Présentation de Sharuki00:05:08 Le salariat comme sécurité00:06:23 La naissance de son âme artistique00:07:35 Les préjugés sur les artistes00:11:18 Savoir utiliser l'IA et les réseaux sociaux00:14:09 Ses débuts en tant qu'artiste peintre00:23:31 Ikigai 00:26:34 Etat de flow00:30:00 Allier passion et business00:33:25 Peut-on maitriser l'art ?00:36:30 Gérer les critiques00:40:41 Travailler son talent00:43:11 Gérer sa vie perso - salarié - entrepreneur00:49:15 Introspection---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Nos réseaux sociaux :Instagram : @desalarierTwitter : @desalarierThreads : @ desalarierSi vous voulez en savoir plus sur Sharuki : https://www.instagram.com/sharuki.nags/https://easyevent.fr/https://www.instagram.com/easyevent.fr/Merci à Nag's Prod de nous avoir suivi pour l'enregistrement de cet épisode : https://www.instagram.com/nags.prod/Hébergé par Ausha.

This week we are joined by Ed Birch from The Nags Charity Barbarians. I am fairly sure they are the sole rugby club to be founded while a group of men pulled a canal boat the length of a marathon, I haven't researched that but I think it's a safe bet. The Nags are a fantastic team who play rugby and undertake various challenges to raise money for Cancer Research UK. This year they are heading to Tewkesbury Rugby Club for a weekend of rugby on the 10th and 11th of May, we would strongly recommend heading down for what is sure to be a brilliant time. We talk all things Nags, challenges and £200,000+ they have already raised.The Nags Charity BarbariansInstagram - @nagscharitybarbariansFacebook - The Nags Charity BarbariansWebsite - www.nagsrugby.co.ukDonation Page - fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nags2024Roots Ruck RiotDonation Page - fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nags2024Donation Page - fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nags2024If you would like your club featured please email us at rootsruckriotpodcast@gmail.comPlease leave us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts, it helps us grow the show and continues us shining a light on the game we all love.Donation Page - fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nags2024

Have you ever heard the term, “emotional labor”? It's that invisible, unappreciated caring you do for other people. You're about to hear a lot about it as we talk with our guest, journalist Gemma Hartley, whose viral article "Women Aren't Nags, We're Just Fed Up" was viewed more than two BILLION times! She's the author of, "Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward". Her website is http://www.gemmahartley.com/
Thomas Heilman (16yo) and Maximus Williamson (17yo) are the top-2 swimming recruits in the class of 2025. They both just had monster performances at the Winter Jr Championships, where Heilman broke 15-16 National Age Group records in the 200 free, 200 IM, and 200 Fly while Williamson broke 17-18 NAGs in the 200 free and 200 IM. We discussed all of their swims from the Jr Championships as well as how they both ended up choosing Virginia for their continued swimming and education.
In this episode of Sober Awkward (the hilarious, good looking and extremely wise...) Vic and Hamish discover why having someone to share your teabags with could solidify your sobriety and how building your own sober community could stop you reaching in the fridge for that 6 pack of Red Stripe! They will give you a step by step guided walk through their free sober social platform www.cuppa.community and give you a few tips, tricks (and warnings) on how to create a successful sober meet up. So, put the kettle on, get you're best mug from the cupboard, find those favourite cosy tracksuit bottoms - the ones with the holes in that smell of damp dog, settle in….. and find out why Cuppa – the sober awkward community – will be a buddy when all yours have gone down the Nags head for a pint. Remember - If you can build a tribe of like-minded people, you never have to be alone again. Oh, and be warned - if you use the term 'Fam Bam' you're in trouble. Enjoy! SHOW NOTES Sober Awkward is proudly sponsored by About Choose Sunrise - https://choosesunrise.co.uk Choose Sunrise is founded on the belief that nobody should feel afraid to ask for help with alcohol use. After finding myself trapped in a cycle of trying (and failing) to moderate, blaming myself and being utterly terrified of asking for help, I finally found freedom from the alcohol trap in 2020. I haven't looked back. I now work with private clients and with businesses, supporting grey area drinkers to find the help that they deserve and need. As well as our flagship 101 Days to Sober online course, we have developed the Alcohol Safe Workplace® accreditation which encourages businesses to be much more proactive about educating and supporting their employees who run into difficulties with addiction as well as creating sober inclusive spaces, where everyone belongs, whatever they choose to drink. I'm also setting up a Sober Business Network, connecting like-minded sober entrepreneurs who want to collaborate and grow our businesses together…without the booze!

Pre-pod Patreon-only: Wouldn't it be great if it was Indy 500 instead of Indy 5? Who's in Extraction? Chris "The Dentist" Hemsworth. This week, Steven messes up the opening of the show for once. This episode contains: We're just loving life this episode. I don't know what it is about being 40. It sucks, is what it is. Ben burns the bottoms of his feet off at a water park. Steven drove down and back from Disneyland to surprise his family. For real. Shout out to the Yub Nub Podcast and Tim Barnes! We got to have him back on. Mickey's Toontown has a new ride?!?! Sweet! Can we just throw money away to fix our problems? Or do we have to do hard work? Ben saw the musical Once at the SLORep. It was incredible! Happy birthday to Ben's wife! We're curious why you listen to this podcast! Let us know at sciencefactionpodcast@gmail.com This Week in Space: Galaxies are not scattered randomly across the universe. "The nearby universe" is one of our favorite phrases ever. "The epoch of reionization" would be a killer prog-metal album. Is the formation of life a consequence of the universe going to high entropy? Entropy is very misunderstood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxL2HoqLbyA Cosmic web strands make Ben think of Orbitz: https://www.tastingtable.com/1185720/what-were-the-floating-balls-in-90s-soda-orbitz-made-from/ 90s kids! What's up! Remember the Orbitz flavor Pineapple Banana Cherry Coconut? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/06/230629173611.htm I'm angry about the internet and I'm gonna talk about it: Reddit API changes are imminent. Here's what's happening to your favorite apps. Ben misses how great Reddit was. RIP Apollo. Some apps are surviving the Reddit-ocalypse. Shout out to Narwhal 2! Why do we need 3rd party apps for Reddit? Lack of features, mostly. Will Lemmy replace Reddit? "I replaced social media with micro-journaling for a year" by Struthless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFvdHfhVIsQ When's the last time you searched for content on the web, instead of having it presented? If you write down small problems, most of them will not matter in 10 days. Do y'all have things that nag in your craw? Do they bug you after ten days? Ben's been writing a diary in the notes app, and he talks about intentionality. Kids should use Breath of the Wild rules to pick who gets which sword in a play fight. Should you listen to Ben about quitting social media? Does he even use social media? If you're concerned about where your attention is going, you have choice. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/06/reddit-api-changes-are-imminent-heres-whats-happening-to-your-favorite-apps/ Science Fiction: We're talking a lot about our upcoming Patreon-only High School playlists. How great is Limp Bizkit's Mission Impossible theme? Take A Look Around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3UHMV3jrZk Steven finally saw Across the Spiderverse! We do a full spoiler-filled review. How cool is it that the first half hour of Across the Spiderverse is the Gwen Stacy movie? Even without a lot of hip hop in Across the Spiderverse, the music is still amazing. Donald Glover's love of Spider Man was a big inspiration for Miles Morales. Steven and Ben saw Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny together. Spoilers ahead! The Temple of Doom was a silly film, which works for kids despite the rest of the film. Ben anticipated a different film from the trailer of Dial of Destiny. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has mostly incredible CGI.

Tell me I'm wrong to believe Chiefs fans should be more concerned about the victory over the Tennessee Titans than the loss to the Buffalo Bills. We start today's SportsBeat KC podcast with Star columnist Sam McDowell and beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell with that topic. But there's plenty more to discuss as the Chiefs play host to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, when Andy Reid will be taking on a former assistant coach Doug Pederson. We break down the Chiefs running back position and why it's been difficult to get traction at times this season. The show started as a SportsBeat Live broadcast and several audience members weighed in with good questions, like the impact in the locker room of Ronald Jones Jr., asking for a trade, and the slow progress of rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore.

(If you disagree, you're probably just an OLD BOOMER.)Next: Before you call a woman a "nag," you need to understand she only verbally abuses her family because she HAS TO. She nags FOR THEM because she loves them. Later: a popular radio host broadcasted some truly terrible advice about encouraging daughters to make their own path and find their identity apart from their families.

Julius Caesar's war against the Roman Republic, and his dictatorship, didn't go the way he planned. Cato the Younger's suicide made him a hero during the short years of Caesar's rule. The men who conspired to kill the tyrant held Cato up as their inspiration. So did the Founding Fathers of the American Republic nearly two centuries later. Joseph Addison's play Cato was a huge hit in the colonies, inspiring, among others, George Washington. Cato's inflexible commitment to freedom from tyranny and democratic principles became the template for America's leaders. The Founding Fathers, and their descendants, believed they were Catos. It was his example they aspired to, and the best of them fulfilled it. Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks.

Julius Caesar was finally ready to put an end to that pesky civil war.His best legions had mutinied while he was away in Egypt consorting with Queen Cleopatra. He had left Rome in the hands of less-capable surrogates for about a year, which gave the remaining Republican resistance time and space to fortify the North African city of Utica, under the careful management of Cato the Younger.Caesar had had enough. It was time to finish this once and for all. Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks. Help keep trainwrecks on the tracks.

The Roman Republic was making its last stand, but first it had to figure out who was in charge.Not that it didn't have bigger problems. Pompey the Great, thinking the civil war was over, failed to capitalize on his victory at the Battle of Dyrrhachium, allowing Julius Caesar all the time he needed to regroup so they could meet again at the Battle of Pharsalus in August of 48 BC.Pompey did not win the Battle of Pharsalus.After his crushing defeat, he retreated to Egypt, thinking he could get troops and money by picking a side in the ongoing incestuous power struggle between Cleopatra and her brother-husband, one of the last of the Ptolemaic kings. He picked the wrong side, and the Egyptians sent his severed head to Caesar, hoping that he would pick a side in the ongoing incestuous power struggle between Cleopatra and her brother-husband.Julius Caesar would indeed pick a side, but that is a trainwreck for later.

Someone needed to rally the troops, and Rome's greatest living general was having a hard time doing it. Pompey the Great had a—well…great reputation as a commander, which his recruits and veterans alike could see for themselves. He trained and drilled right alongside them, and could swing a sword like a man half his age. But this time his troops weren't just Romans—desperate times—and a civil war--had caused him to recruit men from the provinces instead of just Italy itself, and they were about to go to war against soldiers who had up until recently been on the same side. If ever there was a time for an inspiring speech, this was it. After the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BC, the Republic was now a resistance. It was a government in exile. With Cato at its head, Julius Caesar could be deprived of total victory, and Caesar knew it. The dictator could never rest easy on his throne while the standard-bearer of the institutions he was going to trample was still out there somewhere. Cato and the Republic's remnants went to Utica, to make Rome's last stand. Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks.

“Not bad for a lawyer.”Marcus Tullius Cicero, former Roman consul, famed orator, Senator, and jurist, had been sent to govern the province of Cilicia, near modern-day Turkey. He had vanquished some roving bands of thieves, sent a Parthian reconnaissance force scurrying back to their territory, and stormed a hilltop fortress. He didn't equate himself with the two great generals circling Rome like tigers about to pounce—Julius Caesar and Pompey Magnus—but since his performance was pretty good for an intellectual egghead, Cicero thought he deserved a triumph. Even though Rome was a year away from the total collapse of its ancient republic, this was just the kind of distraction that kept things spiraling down the drain.

It was every man for himself. The First Triumvirate was collapsing. Julia, the beloved daughter of Julius Caesar and adored wife of Pompey the Great, died in childbirth in 54 BC. Her daughter lived only a few days. Pompey fell into deep mourning, which was unusual. This was a time when upper-class marriages were only means to an end—forging political alliances, in the case of Pompey and Caesar, populating the Republic with more elite male citizens (especially in a time when infant mortality—and disposing of girl babies on trash heaps—was at an all time high), and propping up one's bank account. The upper classes of Rome made fun of Pompey behind his back because he was actually in love with his wife. With her death, Pompey was sidelined for a while by grief and the thin bonds tying him to Caesar, his rival for power, were gone. Love is powerful, and should never be underestimated. Cato the Younger is once more behind the times, finally realizing the truth about Pompey and Caesar, and what it means for the Roman Republic.

The dancing girls would take their clothes off, but not while Cato the Younger was in the audience. It was 55 BC, and the Floral Games were in full…um…bloom. The Games were the culmination of a week-long festival celebrating fertility, with the usual accompanying shenanigans: outrageous dress, lots of drinking, prostitutes being treated like queens, and a troupe of dancing girls in an amphitheatre reminding the spectators of the rites of spring. A message came down to Cato where he was seated in the crowd. The spectators wanted “to encourage the girls to take off their clothes, but are embarrassed to do so with Cato watching.”Cato got up from his seat without a word and went for the exit. A chronicler reports that “As he was leaving, the crowd loudly applauded him and then went back to their usual theatrical pleasures.”The spectators catcalled, the dancers disrobed, “and the Floral Games went on.”This scene captures the feeling Rome had for the man who was their moral compass. They didn't want him to see them at their low points, but instead of rising to the high ground that Cato had staked out for himself, they just wanted him to be somewhere else. They were “eager to applaud him for leaving, unwilling to follow him out.”If we can equate the dismantling of the Republic with some dancing girls stripping to the buff, the same scenario plays out: Rome would embrace empire, shamefully, as long as Cato wasn't watching them as they did it, reminding them the entire time that they could have done better.

Cato the Younger's exile from Rome began with a cross-dressing aristocrat who had a crush on Julius Caesar's wife. In 62 BC, Publius Clodius figured that the best way to get close to Pompeia—Mrs. Caesar—was to dress as a female lute player and worm his way into the Good Goddess ceremony. This religious rite was only attended by women and was being hosted by Caesar's wife. Clodius was found out when he spoke to a maid in a deep baritone voice and was eventually caught hiding under a bed. Caesar divorced his wife, asserting that “Caesar's wife must be above reproach.”Which she was. Clodius was hauled into court on charges of “sacrilege and sexual immorality.” Cicero got involved in the case because his wife believed he was having an affair with Clodius's sister. In order to defend himself, Cicero had to testify that he had seen Clodius in Rome on the day of his offense, which destroyed the alibi Clodius had offered—that he was out of town on the day of his cross-dressing. Clodius was acquitted, thanks to bribes paid to the jurors by Rome's rich crime lord Crassus. But his reputation, and with it his political future, was ruined. Instead of the many others Clodius could have blamed for the debacle—well, really just himself—he set the whole thing at Cicero's feet, despite the fact that Cicero's involvement in the whole sordid mess was insignificant. I sure hope Clodius doesn't find his way to any kind of political power any time soon. Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks.

It's almost like Cato the Younger had no idea he was putting his head in the lion's mouth. In the space of two years he had managed to get on the wrong side of Julius Caesar, Rome's up and coming populist leader, Pompey the Great, Rome's greatest living general, Marcus Crassus, Rome's richest man, and Marcus Tullius Cicero, who had been Rome's most recent consul, and for a few minutes there, the man with near-absolute power over the state during the Catiline Conspiracy. Stubborn sticks in the mud like Cato are not impressed with anyone. This is what makes them formidable. And dangerous. Caesar, Pompey and Crassus were on a path to power that would ultimately end the Roman Republic. Cato the Younger was standing firmly in their way, and he had to go. One way or another.

The battle for the fate of the Roman Republic was on. On one side were the empire-builders: Julius Caesar and his right-hand man Marc Antony (and sickly little Octavian in the next tent), Pompey the Great, and Marcus Crassus, who wanted to be great himself but never quite got there. On the other side were Marcus Tullius Cicero, Rome's greatest orator, consul in 63 BC, dictator during the Catiline Conspiracy, and all-around clever guy. At his side was Rome's greatest conservative and champion of ancient ideals, Cato the Younger. They also had in their corner—at least on paper--the cowardly Roman Senate, but being cowardly--and venal--the Senate was always kind of a moving target. They could be bought and they could be intimidated, and the empire-builders had money and soldiers to burn. It was a contest between military power, which the Romans had always admired, and republican traditions, which the Romans had always revered. But the citizens of the republic saw their ideals go to the Senate house to die more often than not, and might be willing to take a chance on a smooth operator like Caesar, who claimed to be a staunch defender of the republic even as he quietly dismantled it. Cicero and Cato had their work cut out for them. Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks. Help keep trainwrecks on the tracks.

The ancient Roman Republic was under threat from all sides. Catiline's insurgency was coming to a head. Cicero was dictator of Rome. Julius Caesar, Pompey Magnus, and Marcus Crassus waited to see how it all turned out. Rome stood on the brink of empire, and the only one trying to stop it was Cato the Younger. He had his work cut out for him. Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks. Help keep trainwrecks on the tracks.

Rome's greatest orator pointed his finger at Cato the Younger and said, “Do you not see a storm coming?”Marcus Tullius Cicero was consul for the year 63 BC, and thanks to the aforementioned storm, was a virtual dictator. But he had a number of problems, and he was going to use Cato the Younger to try and solve them.Here's the thing: it wasn't just one storm.Cato ran for his first office in 67 BC—military tribune. This would put him in command of a legion of about four thousand troops and pave his way to a Senate seat when his year was up.He campaigned for his first office at a time when the average Roman-on-the-street was feeling pretty nervous about the state of the Republic. Rome's success had come, in part, from its ability to learn and adapt, to see what worked and make it their own. Military formations and tactics, education, politics, engineering, territorial conquest and management—the Romans were great learners. The problem was that the lessons currently being taught were the ones that would ultimately end the Republic.He won his election and went to take command. Like his famous great-grandpa, he shared his men's hardships and they loved him for it. When the year was up, he went back to Rome and took over the Treasury, calling in old debts and paying off others. But his moral handling of the public trust didn't survive past his term in office. Back in the throes of corruption, a new populist arose - Catiline - who proposed cancelling all debts and redistributing land to the poor. The elite of Rome freaked out, and backed another "man of the people" candidate to beat him - Cicero, Rome's greatest orator. But Catiline didn't give up, and planned to take the city by force.Cicero and Cato were going to have to team up to stop him.

It's 81 BC, and ancient Rome is under the control of the drunken bloodthirsty dictatorship of Cornelius Sulla. There were three things you could do - be on Sulla's side and live, oppose him and get exiled, or oppose him and get your head stuck on a pike in the Forum. Cato the Younger, fourteen years old, was taken under Sulla's wing for a front-row seat to the bloodbath. Rome's problems didn't end when the dictator drank himself to death. Spartacus, a former slave and legionnaire, raised a huge rebel army in the city's back yard, the renegade general Sertorius had essentially taken over Spain, and annoying old Mithridates was taking a third swing at the Roman pinata. Cato the Younger found plenty of opportunity for career advancement in these tense times. But so did Julius Caesar. The two of them were now on a collision course. https://www.historystrainwrecks.com/ Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks.

The Roman Republic was a mess. Wealth and power did what wealth and power usually does: it corrupted the political system. Rome's money troubles, prevalent in the time of Cato the Elder (234-149 BCE) were over. The final defeat of Carthage in 146 BCE paved the way for further conquest in the Mediterranean, and the cash came rolling in. Upper class Romans got land and slaves and money and seats in the Senate, which they used to consolidate their power and make sure that they stayed high while the lower classes stayed low. The excesses of the rich—sex scandals, wild parties, and the occasional recreational slave execution—earned them plenty of enemies among the lower classes. There was a very clear sense that Rome was on the wrong track. Appointing a dictator seemed like one possible answer, but it ended up as these things usually do - with severed heads on pikes in the Forum. Rome needed an emergency brake. Enter Cato the Younger. Plutarch says that, “even from his infancy, in his speech, his countenance, and all his childish pastimes, he discovered an inflexible temper, unmoved by any passion, and firm in everything.”Just the kind of guy to become a thorn in the side of an autocrat.Reign of Terror Safety Tip Number Two Hundred Fifty-Seven: Despots do not like persistent nagging.Duncan, Mike. “The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic.” Public Affairs, 2017.Goodman, Rob and Soni, Jimmy. “Rome's Last Citizen: The Life and Legacy of Cato, Mortal Enemy of Caesar.” St. Martin's Press, 2012.Wikipedia, “Cato the Elder.” Retrieved September 14, 2021 from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cato_the_Elder.Wikipedia, “Sulla.” Retrieved September 14, 2021 from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SullaWikipedia, “Gaius Marius.” Retrieved September 14, 2021 from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Marius Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks.

Meet Cato the Elder, a stick in the mud of the ancient Roman Republic, who felt it was his duty to keep everyone in line. Hopefully, his descendants would be more fun. In a future episode, we'll meet his great-grandson--Cato the Younger, and find out that the apple doesn't really fall far from the tree. The Catos. Their family will be on the front lines of the slide from Republic to the Roman Empire.Stay tuned for Stubborn Nags of Ancient Rome, Part II.Thanks for listening, and for your support of the History's Trainwrecks Podcast..Click here to support the History's Trainwrecks podcast!Sources for this episode:Duncan, Mike. “The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic” Public Affairs, 2017.Livy, “The Early History of Rome.” Penguin Classics, 2002 Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks.
