"I learned from my parents to never see limitations, only endless possibilities. Inspiring people to greatness is the great joy in my life," Feliciano explains. "And have always believed that sustained success, almost always, comes down to the relationships that we are able to build and maintain throughout our business and personal lives. We all need to realize that relationships, both good and bad, are influenced by our ability to communicate."
