So often when we see or hear about successful people, (especially in today’s world of slick social media marketing) it’s easy to think that their rise to where they are now was all smooth sailing. Truth is, our path in life can be a wicked bumpy and sometimes, especially when the odds are stacked against us, we have to just do it scared.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking with my friend Jessica Todd, owner of the premier Jessica Todd Salon in Portsmouth NH. We dive deep into her personal and entrepreneurial journey - how she both struggled in her formative years and the skills she developed along the way that have brought her to the successful stage she’s currently on.
The ride hasn’t always been an easy one and it’s definitely filled with some difficult stories & life-changing moments, but JT (being the creative that she is) never let that stop her.
From “dukes up kid” to now international Balayage Artist for L’Orèal Professional, Jess has taken her skills from beyond the walls of her salon to teaching, inspiring and leading hairdressers around the country and helping them to tap into their own artistry, creativity & passion.
