Follow Your Heart to a Life Well-Lived

Life rarely follows our plans. Through career pivots, health setbacks, and personal challenges, we all face moments that test our limits.

"Steve Larsen takes us on the ride of a lifetime." - Bill Dragoo, Dragoo Adventure Rider Training (DART)

Tech entrepreneur Steve Larsen explores the threads he's woven together to create an extraordinary life: family bonds lost and found, a pioneering career in Silicon Valley, a lifelong search for meaning, a passion for speed and adventure and a remarkable resilience through health battles that would have stopped most people cold.

From wrestling bears to co-founding companies that helped birth modern e-commerce, from discovering a daughter after 39 years to losing a young son, from racing motorcycles across continents to surviving three open-heart surgeries, Larsen reveals how to embrace life's full spectrum of experiences.

His story reminds us that everyone's life is shaped by similar fundamental forces-our relationships, our work, our beliefs, our passions and our challenges. While the details differ, we all navigate loss and discovery, success and failure, fear and courage.

Written with warmth, humor and honesty, Steve offers insights for anyone seeking to understand their own path and striving to reach their full potential.

"Heart-stopping in more ways than one...Inspiring and captivating." - Patrick DeValaria, MD and Thoracic Surgeon
