Grip It

Short bursts. Full impact. All in.

A memoir for anyone who's ever shelved their spark-or convinced themselves it was never there.

From boxing rings in Mexico to roof pitches that test your fear, from the quiet hell of medical limbo to the wild joy of fatherhood-Grip It is a raw, unflinching memoir told in short, electrified bursts.

Written with grit, grace, and piercing clarity, these dispatches chart one man's fight to stay standing through failure, love, absurdity, and fire. Whether being laughed at with a shaved head or sitting still with radioactive dye in his veins, R. A. Zoppo doesn't flinch from the truth-even when it burns.

What he finds in the wreckage and the grit is the spark we all carry.

This is not a survival manual. Not a victory lap. Just the honest rhythm of a man who keeps getting up.
