Meet Don Jackson, an entrepreneur, author, spiritualist, and motivational speaker based in Los Angeles, California. With over 35 years of success in the music and entertainment industry, Jackson's journey is a testament to resilience and dedication.
Starting in music, Jackson quickly transitioned into concert promotion where he earned a reputation for attracting top talent, including MC Hammer, Boys II Men, Snoop Dogg, and New Kids on the Block. In 2000, he founded J.E. Holdings Inc., a diverse entertainment and e-commerce enterprise encompassing record labels, concert promotion, event management, and ticket sales. Under J.E. Holdings Inc., Jackson's private record label, JEA Records, released saxophonist Eldredge Jackson's debut album, Listening Pleasure, in 2008, co-produced by NBA legend Wayman Tisdale.
Raised in the nation's largest evangelical Black church, Jackson's upbringing instilled a belief in boundaries and religious norms. However, a transformative near-death experience shattered these beliefs, leading Jackson to question mainstream religious institutions and the world's inherent brokenness.
Prodigal challenges traditional perspectives on spirituality and identity, exploring self-guided spirituality, the flaws within mainstream churches, and the essence of being a man of God in today's society. Through thought-provoking narratives, Jackson reminds readers of our interconnectedness and urges them to embrace their inherent divinity.

Shi(f)t Happens…then hits the fan. What a mess! However, just as necessity is the mother of invention, chaos is the breath of life birthing something new. The late Bishop Carlton D. Pearson would remind us, ‘We are not in trouble, we are in transition.’ As you embark on this adventure, be mindful…truth that makes you free initially pisses you off! In Don Jackson’s ‘The Prodigal: Leaving Church, Finding God,’ you are bestowed an agency, catalyzing the emergence of a new spiritual practice…YOUR OWN! Surgically, masterfully Jackson exorcises the global human (un)consciousness from the baggage of religious control and bondage of church hierarchical subjugation. In this scholarship, Jackson awakens the internal navigation system, offering deliverance from religious literalism to spiritual liberation. Change is the only constant in the universe. We all change, but at our own pace and in our own space. Are you Ready? ~ Bishop Don Earl Paulk (presiding prelate, The Int’l Communion of Expanding Conscious; host, 'Bishop Carlton D. Pearson’s: The Gospel Of Inclusion;' curator, The Carlton D. Pearson Legacy Foundation
