In this inspiring episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with Jason Felts to dive into his extraordinary journey from small-town Texas to Hollywood success. As the head of Virgin’s entertainment arm, Jason Felts became the second youngest CEO in the history of Virgin behind Sir Richard Branson himself, and also served as CEO of the Virgin Fest music festivals. As a producer, his films cumulatively grossed over one billion dollars worldwide and he was named by Variety in the “Top 10 to Watch”.
Throughout the conversation, Jason emphasizes that persistence, authenticity, and fearlessness are key to overcoming the many challenges of the entertainment industry. He opens up about a painful encounter with a dishonest investor that tested his resolve, yet only strengthened his commitment to building genuine relationships based on mutual respect. Jason also reflects on the transformative impact of mentorship, sharing how advice from figures like Sir Richard Branson has inspired him to set ambitious goals and continually push the boundaries of creativity.
Drawing from his new book Hollywood Virgin, Jason offers invaluable guidance for aspiring creators and entrepreneurs. His journey demonstrates that true success is not measured solely by financial gain, but by the ability to learn from setbacks and cultivate authentic connections in a competitive world.
Tune in to hear Jason Felts’ unfiltered story and discover how dreaming big, staying resilient, and embracing authenticity can turn even the wildest dreams into reality.
