In 2011, Case Lawrence was facing financial ruin. His real estate business had collapsed in the wake of the Great Recession, and bankruptcy seemed inevitable. With a wife, six kids, and no clear path forward, he resigned himself to finding a traditional job—until a spontaneous trip to a California trampoline park changed everything.

What started as a simple curiosity turned into an obsession. Could he turn trampoline parks into a profitable business? Could he scale an industry that didn’t even exist yet? Armed with nothing but a lawyer’s skepticism, a failed entrepreneur’s hunger, and a family’s unwavering belief, Lawrence decided to take the leap.

The result? Sky Zone—a global entertainment empire with 300+ locations, millions of customers, and a billion-dollar valuation.

But success wasn’t instant. No investors. No blueprint. No proven market. Instead, there were lawsuits, a pandemic, and countless moments of doubt. In

*Off the Ground*, Lawrence shares the raw, unfiltered truth about the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship—the setbacks, the pivots, and the victories that only come when you refuse to quit.

This book is more than a business memoir. It’s a blueprint for resilience, creativity, and surviving when the odds are stacked against you. Whether you’re a startup founder, a small business owner, or just someone looking for inspiration,

*Off the Ground* will challenge you to think differently about courage, risk, and the unexpected opportunities that can change everything.

For fans of

*Off the Ground* delivers an honest and gripping look at what it really takes to retain your values, your nerve, and your perspective as you build something from nothing.

**Because success isn’t about avoiding failure. It’s about learning how to bounce back.**
