THE UPSIDE OF BEING DOWN
How Mental Health Struggles Led to My Greatest Success in Work and Life
From the founder and CCO of the multimillion dollar brand ban.do comes an entertaining and humorous inspirational memoir - like #GIRLBOSS meets FURIOUSLY HAPPY - about harnessing your creativity and embracing your flaws to reach your goals, including stories about how Jen Gotch's struggles with mental illness influenced and spurred her success in business.
With humor and heart, Gotch shares the story of her unlikely journey to becoming the founder and CCO of a multimillion dollar brand. From her childhood in Florida where her early struggles with bipolar disorder were misdiagnosed to her winding career path as a waitress, photographer, food stylist, and finally entrepreneur with no business experience, she illuminates how embracing her flaws and understanding the influence of mental illness on her creativity actually led to her greatest successes in business and life.
Hilarious, charming, and filled with fascinating insights from her hard-won experience as a true creative and a visionary businesswoman, Gotch's inspirational memoir dares readers to live each day with hope, optimism, kindness, and humor.
Jen Gotch is genetically predisposed to optimism. A creative powerhouse and mental health advocate, she founded ban.do with a friend in 2008, and with no prior business experience, was able to transform it from a small, vintage, one-of-a-kind hair accessories company into a multimillion dollar brand within years. After a long (and winding) road of jobs that led her to where she is today, she's now the chief creative officer and fearless leader of the ban.do team. She's passionate about sharing her experience in both business and life in a candid and lighthearted way in order to help others build their own self-awareness and emotional intelligence and most of all to help them feel less alone.
