Introduction
Welcome and I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about my work and the topics I speak about.
My name is Jose Rodriguez, also known as The Credit Dude, and I am the founder of Got Credit?, a company I built to help people better understand how credit works and how it can be used to create real opportunities in life. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with thousands of individuals, entrepreneurs, and families who simply wanted a second chance financially and needed someone to show them the right path forward.
Before starting my company, I served in the United States Marine Corps, and the discipline, integrity, and focus I learned during that time still shape how I approach both business and life today. When I speak at events, universities, podcasts, or community programs, my goal is always the same: to simplify the credit system, share practical strategies people can actually apply, and help individuals realize that improving their financial future is possible with the right knowledge and guidance.
If you're interested in having me speak at your event, collaborate on an interview, or feature me in a media publication, this page will give you everything you need including my bio, speaking topics, and booking information. I look forward to connecting with you.
