“The solar coaster is real and Jared’s depiction of it is spot on. I have been riding it, much of it with Jared, for the last fifteen years. Success in an industry this volatile isn’t about luck but a deeper grounding—it requires a level of belief and clarity that only comes from leading with soul.”

– Salar Naini, president, TurningPoint Energy

“Integrating spiritual growth into purposeful, soul-driven business leadership, Jared Schoch credits his Jesuit education—analytical thinking, ethical discernment, and service to others—as a north star for navigating a volatile high stakes industry while maintaining personal integrity.  This book offers inspiration and invaluable practical wisdom to all who aspire to balanced and successful leadership.”

– John J. Cecero, SJ, vice president for Mission Integration and Ministry, Fordham University

“SOLAR COASTER is a fascinating look at one of the most dynamic industries of our time—and a reminder that how you ride the highs and lows matters just as much as where you land. Guided by his spiritual compass and the superb instincts of his wife, Jared reflects on a career defined not just by tenacity and persistence, but by a deep belief that conscious, soul-led leadership is the only kind worth practicing. Part industry memoir, part personal philosophy, this is a book for anyone who wants to succeed without losing themselves along the way.”

– Britta von Oesen, managing director, co-head Energy Transformation Group

“The lessons Schoch offers about solar entrepreneurship alone make SOLAR COASTER worth reading. But this book is so much more than just another lesson on entrepreneurship. Schoch ventures into a topic that few authors take on directly. Call it integrity, spirituality, or, as Schoch does, ‘soul’, it is what often separates successful (and happy) long-term entrepreneurs from ones who are either unsuccessful or never experience the joy of gratified entrepreneurship.”

– Robert A. “Bobby” Savoie, PhD, dean of the college of business, Loyola University New Orleans

“SOLAR COASTER is a rare business story that pays attention to the soul. Jared Schoch reminds us that behind every career is a deeper calling—and that the most meaningful success comes when we learn to follow it.”

– Michael Havercamp, director of Spiritual Formation—Africa, Young Life
