Jose Feliciano

Jose Feliciano has been achieving the impossible for over 40 years. As the eldest of a Puerto Rican immigrant father, and French Irish mother – both deaf mutes, Jose grew up quickly. He rose above poverty and adversity to become one of the country’s most respected financial planners. In addition, he maintains a demanding schedule as a respected corporate speaker, and author of 3 books including the Amazon best-selling "2 Hour House," and his latest "Passion for Possibility."

The 2 Hour House is a 2300 square foot single family house – built in the suburbs of Tyler, which was completed in 2 hours and 52 minutes by an army of 579 volunteers. The house established a new world’s record, exceeded code, and was eventually sold to benefit a local charity.

With the groundbreaking 2 Hour House model as the foundation of his keynote addresses – Jose challenges his audiences to expand their horizons, stop thinking about the limitations in life and change their mindset from impossible to IS possible. The project also illustrates that breaking rules and breaking records is one of the essential components of success in a complex business environment. He exposes the well-worn fraud that adults can’t do what they’ve always dreamed of doing and teaches us all that everyone can change the world one event at a time.

As founder and president of Feliciano Financial Group, the highly successful 25 year old wealth management practice based in Texas, Jose has built the firm upon the characteristics he values most: honest hard work, inspiring greatness in others and connecting people to their passion. Jose graduated from American College of Financial Planning. He holds the Certified Financial Planners designation (CFP), is a member of the Institute for Certified Financial Planners (ICFP), Chartered Financial Consultants (ChFC), and Certified Life Underwriter (CLU).

He is the co-founder of the 2 Hour House Company, a group focused on teaching people and organizations how to re-engage the can-do spirit and achieve the impossible. He has written 3 books, including the Amazon #1 best seller 2 Hour House and Passion for Possibility.

As a speaker, Jose shares his uplifting story with a diversity of clients around the world. Inspiring his audiences to build their own ‘impossible’ he recounts his life experiences and the heart-warming 2 Hour House Story, its impact on the 579 craftsmen that participated, the community and now, the world. Jose’s story forever alters our limited view of the human spirit’s ability to overcome all odds and achieve anything.
