Falling upwards : living the dream, one panic attack at a time
(Book)

"At 16, Jeremy was hosting club nights at Hollywood's famed Avalon nightclub; that same year, he gatecrashed the Grammys. At 25, Jeremy opened Nighthawk in LA, where he debuted Spiked Cereal Milk, a cocktail that combined cereal milk and alcohol and went instantly viral. But dig deep enough beneath Jeremy's king-of-LA swagger, and you'll find the curious little kid who grew up blocks away from LA's infamous Skid Row with a mom who was busy managing a restaurant to make ends meet and an absentee dad who only ever showed up long enough to fill young Jeremy's head with stories of Studio 54's heyday before vanishing again. Young Jeremy, who crept into the kitchen of his mom's restaurant on the nights when he couldn't sleep to build towering sandwiches, layering pickle with cold cut with fresh lettuce and mixing ketchup with Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, Tabasco, and lemon juice, until you couldn't swear that he wasn't making magic. Now meet the real Jeremy: anxiety-ridden, with OCD tendencies, and driven to go go go, because if he stops, it might just all come crashing down around him. Jeremy's first book blends personal narrative with practical takeaways, like how to harness our craziest and most out-there loose balloon ideas and make them work for us. Although Jeremy's successes began in nightlife and restaurants he really sees food as a conduit; a starting point where people can have meaningful conversations. His restaurants built his platform, and from there he has gotten into social media, his Beats for Breakfast show and Dinner Party podcast. He continues to evolve and is just at the beginning of his career. The book is a unique combination of business and life lessons, how to come up with fresh ideas and create your own career in a creative way, while showing how to thrive without toxic masculinity, despite mental health issues and to find your own path with authenticity and vulnerability"--,Provided by publisher.
