GROW OR FOLD: Book Talk and Interactive Conversation with Matt Ross. Moderated by Q104.3 DJ Ken Dashow

Join us to celebrate the release of Matt’s new book: GROW OR FOLD: Transform Yourself in Midlife and Beyond.  The book is a profound story of awakening your enthusiasm for growth that includes "life lessons from a creative entrepreneur".

Matt is best known for building two iconic creative education brands: School of Rock and One River School of Art & Design.  That was the easy part.  At 50 years old and with everything in life in freefall, Matt learned to “treat himself like a business” and documented his proven recipe to help you overcome your greatest challenges, while also teaching you how to invest in your “Pure Growth”.

The New Year Brings a Call to Action.  Are you committed to enhancing the quality of your life? If so, it comes down to a simple choice: GROW or FOLD, so join us for this inspiring event and receive a copy of the book as a bonus.
