Its a bad strategy for your life, tho
The 'tortured artist' is a romantic notion
It's that meme that is being co-opted by VCs here
The 'entrepreneur as tortured artiste'
Since the 'starving artist' basically sums up
the ideal sucker for a major label record deal
(ie, weak negotiating leverage)
Its worth being critical of over-adopting the analogy.
(at least, if your the starving artist).
That being said, nothing clears the mind
like no food on the plate.
And a clear mind is what you need to succeed.
