On today’s episode of Cafecito y Croquetas we’re sitting down with Miami native, author, and environmental advocate Andrew Otazo – a man who has personally picked up 37,200 pounds of trash from South Florida’s mangroves… and is still going.

Andrew walks us through his wild journey: from West Point and the U.S. State Department, to Harvard, Cuban policy work in D.C., launching his own PR agency, writing The Miami Creation Myth… and then becoming the guy who decided, “If nobody’s going to clean this trash, I will.”

We talk about his legendary Miami Marathon stunt carrying a 35 lb trash bag (and later a 135 lb trash cart), how that trash bag ended up in the HistoryMiami Museum, and why mangroves might be the most underrated heroes protecting our city.

In this episode we get into:
🌊 Why Miami’s mangroves matter for hurricanes, wildlife & our coastline
🗑️ How street litter actually ends up in the bay & mangroves (it’s not what you think)
🐢 Microplastics, manatees, sea turtles & the real impact of our plastic use
😳 The craziest things he’s found in the mangroves… including a bank robber
🏃‍♂️ “Miami’s Trashiest Run” 5K & how to plug into local cleanups and activism
🤝 Simple daily things you can do to help – starting with picking up that one wrapper

That awkward “adult” phase of Christmas gifts: cash vs gift cards, asking for deodorant, socks & laptop money instead of toys 😂

The most overrated Thanksgiving foods (yes… turkey catches a stray) and what we wouldn’t miss if it disappeared from the table

Our must-have Thanksgiving lineup: mac & cheese, cornbread, sweet potato casserole, Cuban twists like pan cubano, flan & more

Hot take: replacing turkey with smoked brisket or short rib as the main event 🤤

Dessert debates: pumpkin pie vs pecan pie vs flan vs cheesecake

Thanksgiving game plan: Do you fast or snack all day so you can go back for round 2?

The truth about leftovers: polite to-go plates vs people going berserk and clearing out half the tray before anyone else eats

Hosting vs traveling for Thanksgiving and how the family splits Thanksgiving vs Noche Buena

Drop your thoughts in the comments:
👉 What’s the most overrated Thanksgiving food?
👉 What absolutely HAS to be on your plate?
👉 Cash or gift cards – what are you asking for this year?

Good morning, ¡Buenos Días! Welcome back to another episode of Cafecito y Croquetas, brought to you by Stay Tranquilo and H&CO.
Today we’re joined by a very special guest — Chef Renato Viola, the Founder & Mastermind behind Mister 01 Extraordinary Pizza, one of Miami’s most loved and fastest-growing pizza brands.

In this episode, we dive deep into Chef Renato’s incredible journey — from a small town near the Amalfi Coast to becoming a nationally recognized chef in the United States through the prestigious O-1 Visa. His story is one of passion, family, discipline, and a relentless commitment to quality.

Chef Renato’s childhood in South Italy & how his mother inspired his love for pizza

Working in kitchens at 11 years old and learning from Italian “maestri pizzaioli”

The real meaning behind the O-1 Visa and how Renato became the first pizza chef to earn it

Opening the first Mister 01 in a tiny office building with only 9 seats

The iconic star-shaped pizza, stuffed ricotta crust, truffle oil & what makes their dough unique

Expanding to Texas, Atlanta… and now North Carolina (exclusive announcement!)

The truth about entrepreneurship: hard work, consistency, and learning before leading

How to stay present, grounded, and connected as a founder, chef, and father

Chef Renato’s #1 advice for anyone starting something of their own

Chef Renato shares how he balances Italian quality with Miami culture — from using imported Italian ingredients to adapting flavors for the community. The result? A one-of-a-kind pizza experience with world-class hospitality.

Happy Monday, mi gente ☕️💛 In this episode of Cafecito y Croquetas, we’re flipping the script on the usual news cycle and sharing only the good stuff — stories that prove there’s still a lot of heart, courage, and kindness in the world.

We dive into:

🌿 Miami’s Mangrove Guardian – Andrew Otazo, a Cuban-American writer, runner, and environmental activist who has removed over 35,000 pounds of trash from our local mangroves, including refrigerators, couches, tires, and even an abandoned boat.

🎤 From School Janitor to #1 on the Charts – Richard Goodall, a middle school janitor whose video singing “Don’t Stop Believin’” went viral, led to America’s Got Talent, and a song that hit #1 on the iTunes country charts.

🍋 A 7-Year-Old’s Lemonade Stand of Love – Emmery Johnson, who started a $1 lemonade stand to raise money for her mom’s headstone and ended up bringing in over $10,000 thanks to the kindness of her community.

Throughout the episode, we talk about:

The power of small, simple acts of kindness

How social media can still be used for good and uplifting stories

Pooch rides solo today, breaking down a massive weekend for South Florida sports:
• Miami Dolphins upset the Bills in a huge division win
• Inter Miami handled business
• Miami Heat secured a W
• Miami Hurricanes kept the streak alive

In local news:
• The iconic Freedom Tower reopens after long-awaited renovations, welcoming students for a deep dive into Cuban history and the victims of communism memorial.

Today on the Stay Tranquilo Podcast, Andre sits down with Donny Joshua-Felix — performance coach at DBC, lifelong runner and former Howard University soccer player — for a real conversation about identity, faith, discipline, and the mindset it takes to actually become the person you say you want to be.

From growing up in a Haitian Christian household (grandfather a pastor, dad a church musician) to chasing PRs, missing them, and learning not to attach self-worth to results, Donny breaks down the habits and reframes that changed his life: “I don’t have to — I GET to.” We get into stillness, gratitude, journaling, the “no snooze” rule, teaching youth athletes, and why choosing the harder right (over the easier wrong) builds real self-trust.

If you’re into mindset, performance, faith, running, or just need a reset on your daily standards, this one’s for you.

In this episode you’ll learn:

The power of “I get to” — turning discipline into gratitude-driven action

Why perfection is a trap and how to detach identity from outcomes

Simple daily wins that stack confidence (no-snooze, make your bed, move your body)

How to use stillness/meditation to hear your intuition again

Reframing self-talk: replacing limiting labels with identity statements

Coaching youth athletes to be resilient humans first, players second

What to do when you’re “doing everything right” and still not hitting goals

Highlights & Topics

Faith & family roots → leadership and service

Howard University soccer → performance coach at DBC

Running mindset: smiling through pain, training without ego

The “future you” filter: will you be proud of this choice tonight?

Social media courage: sharing your story to help one person is enough

Good morning y bienvenidos back to Cafecito y Croquetas! Today we’re joined by Saidin Hernández, an estate & tax planning attorney serving U.S. and international families, family offices, and entrepreneurs. We dive into the real drivers of generational wealth transfer (spoiler: it’s more succession than taxes), how to involve the next generation early, and why the billable hour may be dead in the age of AI.

On this Cafecito y Croquetas episode, we sit down with Pablo Barreiro, Chairman of FORTEC Modern Real Estate—recently recognized by the South Florida Business Journal for rapid growth—to talk about a mission that’s bigger than buildings: fixing America’s childcare deserts through early-education real estate.

Pablo shares how his path from broker (plus a law degree) led to launching a preschool-focused development platform during 2020—and why the team has already delivered 32 schools across 12 states, with a plan to build 70–80 more in the next 36 months. We dig into the economics (why 1.5–2 acres often go to multifamily instead), how adding schools raises the value of surrounding projects, why keeping rents efficient can help temper tuition, and how 30–40 local jobs per school fuel community impact. We also cover teacher pipeline quality, competition improving outcomes, FORTEC’s “For Cares” philanthropy, and Pablo’s advice for young leaders: operate with urgency, be candid, and solve problems locally.
