Publisher's Summary

From entrepreneur and celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin comes a smart and spirited guide to finding your voice and creating the life and career you deserve - along with a behind-the-scenes look into Jen’s own wild and wonderful road to success.

Hailed by The New York Times as “the most influential hair stylist in the world”, Jen Atkin is a celebrated businesswoman, influencer, and stylist and friend to A-list celebrities like the Kardashian-Jenners and Chrissy Teigen. But Jen’s success didn’t arrive overnight. Her glamorous, jet-setting lifestyle came from years of hard work, humility, and hustle. In Blowing My Way to the Top, Jen shatters the illusion of effortless, instant success that permeates social media to reveal the sweat, dedication, and drive it really takes to make it.

In this inspiring, insightful, and laugh-out-loud funny book, Jen chronicles her remarkable journey and shares what she’s learned along the way. From growing up in a conservative Mormon community where girls were discouraged from pursuing their ambitions, to striking out on her own and finding success on the celebrity style circuit, to building the cult-status brand OUAI - Jen reveals with refreshing candor the lessons, mistakes, and memorable moments that have paved her road to success.

Jen also offers insight into the values that have allowed her to thrive in the modern, digital landscape, including the importance of creating authentic content, investing in community, and building social conscious into the ethos of a business. And as a trailblazer in a male-dominated industry, Jen speaks frankly about the challenges she’s faced and provides crucial advice for other women, from the importance of running your business like a feminist to building camaraderie amid the competition to learning to navigate the work and life issues that impact women most.

At the end of the day, Jen has one simple message: If I can do it, you can too. Blowing My Way to the Top is destined to become the must-listen career guide for a new generation, empowering listeners everywhere with the permission to dream big - and the tools to make those dreams a reality. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Love this book so much!

I loved Jen Atkin and her insta feed for a long time before I picked up this audio book. True to her unapologetic, hard working, family loving, balance seeking, and honest style, this book is a beautiful roll up of her journey so far, sprinkled with timeless advice. She is my dave matthews. Xo

Inspirant!

Le livre est à moitié autobiographique et à moitié "How to". Super formule! Jen Atkin est une vraie BAD A** qui offre des conseils avisés et inspirants. Je recommande à toutes les personnes qui ont besoin d'un petit peu de motivation et qui rêvent BIG.

So inspiring!

From start to finish this book was very inspiring and contained a lot of useful information to take to the real world whether you’re in business for yourself or trying to start a budding career. I will definitely be referring back to this book frequently.
A plus for me is her voice was not annoying!(This is usually a problem for me)
I highly recommend 👍🏼

I could not stop listening to this

As a fellow hairstylist listening to this book give me determination to follow my passion. Jen sounds like an amazing person and I love her humour that comes across when reading this book. I would highly recommend this book even if you’re not in the beauty business it’s a must read/listen
