About this Event

We're rolling out the yellow carpet for you at the Martin Auto Museum in Glendale, Arizona, for a special evening with entrepreneur, adventurer and survivor Steve Larsen.
His new autobiography reveals how determination, resilience, and making space for the things that bring you joy can help you navigate any obstacle and find value in every experience.

In My Heart Has Been in it from the Start, tech entrepreneur Steve Larsen explores the threads he’s woven together to create an extraordinary life: family bonds lost and found, a pioneering career in Silicon Valley, a lifelong search for meaning, a passion for speed and adventure and a remarkable resilience through health battles that would have stopped most people cold.

From wrestling bears to co-founding companies that helped birth modern e-commerce, from discovering a daughter after 39 years to losing a young son, from racing motorcycles across continents to surviving three open-heart surgeries, Larsen reveals how to embrace life’s full spectrum of experiences.

His story reminds us that everyone’s life is shaped by similar fundamental forces—our relationships, our work, our beliefs, our passions and our challenges. While the details differ, we all navigate loss and discovery, success and failure, fear and courage.
