Publisher's Note
In 1996, Tom Ashbrook was an international reporter who, in a crisis of the soul, resolved to join an old college classmate on the Internet rocket ride. THE LEAP tells the story of how he walked away from an enviable career to launch a risky new business venture, and it could serve as a template for anyone with e-commerce fantasies. As a deeply felt tale of a man who risks and rediscovers his family and purpose, it also has all the hallmarks of a classic.
Ashbrook's odyssey is also the great American joy ride--the story of two guys in the laboratory, in the garage, on the frontier, betting the ranch and then racing, half scared out of their wits, half giddy with adrenaline, toward the finish line. Success, when it finally comes, is sweet, but it is Ashbrook's story of self-transformation along the way that wins our hearts with its candor, its unabashed zeal, and the self-deprecating humor the author shares as he throws himself and his family over the edge, in the middle of life, to reach out for a new beginning.

Industry Reviews
"[This book] certainly captures the manic energy of mid-life Internet dreams."
Hamlin

"A kind of gonzo diatribe by newsman turned Net entrepreneur....As a snapshot of one guy's view of the New Economy, it's a valuable read."
Business 2.0 (05/01/2000)
