Hollywood Virgin : Breaking Into And Out Of Show Business

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Hollywood Virgin has captured hearts, headlines, and high praise around the world—not just for its Hollywood insider revelations, but for its raw honesty, relatability, and universal truths about ambition, identity, success, and knowing when to walk away. 

From small-town Texas to Hollywood power tables, Jason Felts chronicles his meteoric rise through the cutthroat entertainment industry—creating films, shows, and music festivals, launching global brand campaigns, building a Virgin-branded entertainment empire, while rubbing elbows and butting heads with A-listers before walking away at the height of it all. Jason elegantly removes the concealer off the powerful, fake, and dishonest power players at the same time he equally shines light on the authentic, selfless, or lesser-known stories in Hollywood.

This wildly entertaining and deeply honest book is packed with jaw-dropping celebrity encounters, untold industry stories, and hard-earned lessons on ambition, identity, and staying human in an industry that rewards anything but. Felts shares his rollercoaster ride of hustle and reinvention, revealing how he:

• Launched the very first show to feature a Kardashian
• Became the youngest CEO (after mentor, Sir Richard Branson) to run a Virgin company
• Built and ran a multi-million-dollar global company for Virgin
• Worked and built relationships with Bradley Coooper, Courteney Cox, Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Jessica & Ashlee Simpson, Halle Berry, will.i.am, Oliver Stone and dozens more
• Came out publicly and helped found the PULSE foundation in the wake of tragedy
• Joined the Obamas on their first post-White House getaway—and received life-changing advice from the former President

And that’s just the beginning.

Hollywood Virgin is a story of ambition, fame, identity, burnout, reinvention—and learning that success isn’t always what it seems. More than a behind-the-scenes memoir from the founder and CEO of Virgin’s entertainment company, it’s a bold, unfiltered crash course in how to make it, take it, lose it, and leave it all behind before it costs you everything. Raw, hilarious, and unflinchingly real, this book is for anyone chasing a dream, surviving a grind, or looking for the courage to rewrite their own script.
