About this listen

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.

BLOWING MY WAY TO THE TOP is so much more than a business book, it’s a bible for what it takes to make your dreams become a reality, a book full of important life lessons and even a smart girls finance class. Let me share a little secret with you from Jen’s book, it has less to do with being a celebrity stylist and more about being a good person and working HARD always, but not to the point of burn out! One of my favourite quotes from Jen’s book in reference to social media and also the difference between being confident vs cocky was this quote ‘are you showing up or showing off’, also ’don't forget who you are right now’ and the quote ‘there’s a lot of work, behind the work’ 🙌🏻🙌🏻 #truth Congratulations on your book launch Jen, as a fellow female founder who also took a scary risk at 19 myself, I am so proud of you. Thank you for your authenticity, genuine guidance and honest story telling. Olivia SHHH SILK

Jen is by all means a very successful and hardworking woman. But this book lacks gripping narration and story line.

Basic and general

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A little too celeb name droppy, not a lot of good juicy advice. It’s well narrated but the content left me disappointed.

Not for me
