You can spray n pray capital... 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.
