FORBES BOOKS

NEW YORK (May 26, 2026)—Off the Ground: From the Brink of Bankruptcy to the Billion-Dollar Sky Zone Empire by Case Lawrence is now available on Amazon and at major booksellers. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes.

In 2011, Case Lawrence was out of options. His real estate venture had collapsed in the aftermath of the Great Recession, and bankruptcy loomed. With no income and a family of eight to support, he needed a lifeline. Then, on a spontaneous outing to a California trampoline park, an idea sparked—one that would eventually change the face of family entertainment.

Off the Ground is Lawrence’s unfiltered account of the unexpected rise of Sky Zone, the world’s largest trampoline park franchise. Part memoir, part manual, the book charts the unpredictable journey from side hustle to billion-dollar brand. But it’s not all highlight reels and high-flying success. Lawrence takes readers behind the scenes, showing how near-bankruptcies, legal hurdles, rapid growth, and a pandemic tested his leadership and ultimately shaped his vision.

“I saw writing this book as a chance to provide a peek into the authentic realities of entrepreneurship,” Lawrence said. “My goal was to share lessons from my journey with the next generation of creators, and also to document the history and rise of the trampoline park industry. “

Packed with lessons in resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurship, Off the Ground offers a blueprint for anyone looking to build something extraordinary from humble beginnings. Readers will discover how to recognize opportunity, scale unproven ideas, lead through uncertainty, and turn failure into fuel.

Lawrence’s book is a candid invitation to think differently about risk, bounce back from setbacks, and create experiences that leave an impact.
