The Upside of Being Down – Jen Gotch

An entertaining, humorous, and inspirational memoir—think #GirlBoss meets Furiously Happy—about harnessing your creativity and embracing your flaws to reach your goals.
With humor and heart, Ban.do founder Jen Gotch shares the empowering story of her unlikely journey to becoming the creator 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.
