How to Eat Glass: Excelling Through the Stress

Monday, March 14
9:30AM - 10:30AM

JW Marriott
Salon 7
110 E 2nd St

Ela and I will talk about a side of entrepreneurship not often covered in the press. Namely, the constant stress that entrepreneurs face and the potentially devastating effects this can have if left unmanaged: anxiety, depression, even suicide. We'll cover what the stress can feel like using personal anecdotes, cover what exactly happens to the brain when under stress (specifically we'll talk about the stress hormone cortisol and it's effects), and we'll then cover specific scientific studies that show things like dancing, massages, sleep, exercise, and meditation can help one excel through stress.
