IN Hollywood Virgin: Breaking Into and Out of Show Business, serial entrepreneur, producer, marketing strategist, and Virgin executive Jason Felts delivers an inspiring midlife memoir that encourages relentlessness in the pursuit of your dreams while staying true to who you are--and the ones you love--along the way. Jason Felts was a small-town, closeted kid with big dreams that ran directly to the grit and glamour of Hollywood. Through a cocktail of hard work, gumption, positivity, and a little bit of luck, Jason eventually turned every dream into reality, even if Hollywood didn't turn out to be all it was cracked up to be.
Hollywood Virgin includes never-before-told stories about a host of famous names- including Halle Berry, Courteney Cox, Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, the Obamas, the Simpsons, and of course, the Bransons. Humor abounds as you read about the time Jason delivered royal underwear to a Queen on Necker Island and what it's like to take a spin on Air Force One. More importantly, you'll rediscover that life is worth living, not because of what you have accomplished--or will accomplish--but because of who you love and what you can do for them. With a Foreword written by Sir Richard Branson,
Hollywood Virgin is a one-of-a-kind, wilder-than-fiction story that will earn a place in the libraries of everyone interested in the entertainment industry, the nature of celebrity, and the power of perseverance. It's an inspiring story for anyone yearning to discover and be their authentic self, overcome and strive again, and find out what a life enriched with purpose is all about.
