Description
Ride or Die is a glimpse into the true meaning behind being in a ride-or-die relationship, where no matter the challenge or difficult times, you ride on with your partner till the end. It's also about the simple-to-say yet hard-to-live-up-to meaning of "in sickness and in health . . . till death do us part."

About the Author
Jarie Bolander caught the startup bug right after graduating from San Jose State University in 1995 with a degree in electrical engineering. With 6 startups, 7.75 books, and 10 patents under his belt, his experience runs the gamut from semiconductors to life sciences to nonprofits. He also hosts a podcast called The Entrepreneur Ethos, which is based on his last book by the same name. When he's not helping clients convert a concept to a viable strategy, he can be found on the Jiu-Jitsu mat (he's a blue belt), interviewing entrepreneurs on his podcast, or researching the latest in earthship construction techniques. He's engaged to a wonderful woman named Minerva, her daughter, and their Bernedoodle, Sage. Currently, Jarie lives and works in San Francisco, where he works as head of market strategy for Decision Counsel, a B2B growth consulting firm.
