책소개

Hollywood Virgin is more than a tell-all memoir about the business of show business from the founder and CEO of Virgin's entertainment company—it's about hustle, risk-taking, sudden success, insider realizations, self-discovery, breakdowns, and walking away before you lose everything… alongside plenty of behind-the-screen shockers, celebrity stories, and yes, a bathrobe or two. Growing up in small-town Texas, Jason Felts dreamed of being in Hollywood. He made his way to California, started his own production company at 23, was named to Variety's “Top 10 to Watch” list, rubbed elbows with famous faces daily, and rose quickly to build and lead a multi-million dollar entertainment company for Virgin, one of the world's most respected brands—so why did he walk away at such a young age? Jason recounts how he diligently pursued opportunities in the entertainment industry, quickly working his way up from small-time, thankless jobs serving the most powerful, to becoming a key industry player himself, making incredible things happen behind the scenes that no one ever knew—until now. Join him as he spills never-told-before tea, sharing how he lost his Hollywood virginity by: Creating and producing the first show that put a Kardashian on TV Turning access into authentic relationships and partnerships with stars such as Jessica & Ashlee Simpson, will.i.am, Justin Berfield, among many others The origin story behind founding and running an award winning Virgin branded company—and having Sir Richard Branson as a mentor Pitching films and shows with names such Halle Berry, Courteney Cox, and Oliver Stone Being tapped as the youngest CEO (only after Branson himself) to ever run a Virgin company Coming out of the closet to take action publicly as a founding board member of the PULSE foundation in the aftermath of the Orlando nightclub shooting Planning and joining the Obama's on their first
