Hi, my name is Stuart Alsop and this is my podcast, Crazy Wisdom, where I interview creative people about how they work with and manage the stress that is inherent in creative work. What I'm looking for here is the answer to the question what is the connection between stress and creativity? How does stress play a role in the creative process? And how does creativity play a role in how we experience stress?

of different answers to this question and I haven't really found one single answer to this question, which is why I'm so excited to do this podcast is because I have no conceptions, no preset expectations of what I'm going to find. It's basically discovery. And I'm inviting you to join along on this exploration of what is the connection between creativity and stress. Today I interviewed Terrence Yang, principal of Yang Ventures. I've known Terrence for a long time and we have great conversations about all sorts of stuff including cryptocurrencies, starting companies, a whole bunch of different stuff. And he has a lot of valuable wisdom to share about the stress that founders experience because he invests in founders a lot so he gets a firsthand experience. And what I like about Terrence as well is that he invests, but he also provides quite a bit of mentorship and expertise. He really cares about the people that he invests in, so he has a lot of valuable wisdom because he cares so much. I highly recommend you listen to this full podcast. A lot of valuable tips wisdom here. Hope you have a great day. Thanks.
