About this listen

In this genre-defying, deeply personal, and ultimately inspiring book, Grow or Fold redefines what it means to thrive in midlife and beyond. With honesty, insight, and a toolkit forged in fire, Matt Ross—former CEO of School of Rock and architect of One River School—invites you into his story of transformation, resilience, and purpose.

At fifty, faced with personal catastrophe and professional upheaval, Ross chose growth over surrender. This book is his blueprint—and your invitation—to do the same. Through raw storytelling and practical wisdom, Grow or Fold helps you navigate the turbulence of change with clarity and confidence. You’ll learn how to take inventory of your life, reconnect with your core values, and design a future that reflects your most authentic self.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or simply ready for more, this book is your call to action. Because in the face of adversity, there really is only one choice: GROW OR FOLD?
