Buenos días, bonadillas! ☕🥐 Welcome back to Cafecito y Croquetas, brought to you by Stay Tranquilo and H&CO.
Today we’re joined by Anabella Murillo—a Venezuela-born financial industry professional who shares an incredible story of resilience, reinvention, and building a life in the U.S. Anabella walks us through what Venezuela was like in the mid-2000s, how her family’s immigration journey unfolded, and what it really took to start over in Miami with “two suitcases and a dream.”
From there, we get into the world she’s built over the last 18 years—working in the trust & estate / private wealth space and supporting ultra high net worth families with legacy planning, structure, and long-term strategy. This one is full of gems for anyone trying to level up financially and think ahead.
In this episode we cover:
Growing up in Venezuela + the realities of the early 2000s
The immigration process + starting over in Miami
Why she chose work over another degree during the 2008 financial crisis
New York vs Miami vs San Francisco: what she learned in each city
What “trusts” actually are (and why they matter for legacy + protection)
The connection between money decisions and legal consequences
Advice for the younger generation: being proactive, learning money early, and building the right circles
Why Miami is still just getting started—and why it’s the “Magic City”

Feliz Monday ☕🥐 We’re back on set for another Cafecito y Croquetas, powered by H&Co. and Stay Tranquilo.
This episode is straight Miami energy: we talk about the insane arctic weather hitting the Midwest/Northeast (and how we “complain” about 40s like we’re built different 😅), then we get into one of the wildest stories we’ve seen lately…
🎧 DJ PRIEST IS REAL.
A Portuguese priest who’s gone viral in the EDM world—throwing full-on “holy raves,” DJing in his official priest fit, and pulling massive crowds. We break down how he blew up, why it’s actually genius, and why Miami feels like the perfect next stop (Ultra? F1 weekend? 👀).
🏃♂️ PLUS: Miami Marathon weekend recap
Shoutout to everyone who ran the half or full—Miami really turns it into a party with cheering sections, candy, beers, and pure vibes. We also get into the mental side of endurance events, runner’s high, and how people push through when your body is screaming.
If you were out there running—respect. If you’re buried under snow—stay safe and stay warm.

Now, Fernando is the starting quarterback at Indiana, and he’s headed into the National Championship Game this Monday vs Miami—back in his hometown of Miami. We talk mindset, preparation, pressure, and what it means to come home with everything on the line.

We also talk real estate—from Viraj’s early days underwriting deals to closing a 32-unit property and scaling toward hundreds of doors—and what entrepreneurship teaches you that school never will.

Welcome back to Cafecito y Croquetas ☕🥐 — and Happy New Year 2026 🎉
In our first episode of the year, we kick things off talking about one of the most iconic Latino New Year’s traditions: the 12 grapes 🍇. Do you eat them before midnight or after? Do you make intentions with each grape, or are you just trying to survive the countdown?
From eating grapes in zip-lock bags at bars to mixing them with champagne 🥂, we break down how different families and cultures approach the tradition — and why it always turns into chaos once the clock hits 12.
We also dive into:
Our personal intentions and goals for 2026
Self-improvement, health, routines & habits
Cutting back on vices and leveling up mentally & physically
Slowing down time, avoiding burnout, and staying intentional
Community, growth, and what we want this year to feel like
Whether you’re big on New Year’s resolutions or just here for the cafecito and vibes, this episode is all about starting 2026 with purpose — without losing who we are.
💬 Let us know in the comments:

As always, thank you for rocking with us.
2026 is just getting started. 🚀

Feliz Navidad and happy Nochebuena! 🎄 In this Christmas Eve episode of Cafecito y Croquetas, we’re talking all things Cuban Christmas traditions in Miami — family, la noche, dominoes, cafecito, croquetas, and of course… lechón.
We get into what Nochebuena means to us, why Cubans go hardest on the 24th (and do nothing on the 25th 😅), and the real holiday essentials: pig, beers, and good vibes. Plus, Dre breaks down his lechón process — from mojo + herbs to mastering the chicharrón skin, internal temps, and why cooking the skin slow matters if you want that perfect bubbly crackle.
And the stories? We’re talking Santa trauma, reindeer food (oatmeal + glitter 😂), Three Kings “camel” myths, and why coquito is delicious… and dangerous.
If you’re Cuban, Latino, or just love holiday culture, this one’s for you.
Drop a comment: What’s your favorite Nochebuena tradition? Do you open gifts on the 24th or 25th? And what’s the #1 rule for not messing up the lechón? 👀

Good morning! In today’s episode of Cafecito y Croquetas, we sit down with returning friend of the fam, Orlando Mendez – aka the Cuban Cowboy ☕🥐🤠
We get deep into what it means to be second-generation Cuban-American, carrying the stories of our abuelos while living a very modern Miami life. Orlando shares how losing his grandparents and being part of the legendary Amparo Experience woke something up in him and ultimately inspired his breakout song “Motherland.”
From there, we dive into his unique journey from:
🎭 Acting in Miami & New York to having everything shut down during COVID
🎸 Picking up a dusty guitar in his room and teaching himself country music on YouTube
🎶 Falling in love with Darius Rucker, Tim McGraw & classic country in reverse (modern → Johnny Cash era)
🌊 Realizing his heart will always be in Miami, the Keys, and on the water
Orlando then breaks down his new project, the “Always Summer Six-Pack” EP, including:
How the idea hit him on a flight home from Nashville at one of his lowest points
A writing camp in the Florida Keys where they knocked out 4–5 songs in 48 hours
The story behind songs like:
“Modern Day Pirates”
“Beers Back Home”
“Saltwater Salvation”
“Hurt to Hit”
Why he wants his songs to become anthems in people’s lives, tied to real memories and moments
We also talk about:
🇨🇺 Owning the label Cuban-American instead of running from it
🌴 Why it’s “Always Summer” in Miami, in the Keys, and in your mindset
🍺 How brands like Johnny Cuba, Cow Bakery, Larona, John Bell Construction & more helped make this independent project possible
🎵 Jimmy Buffett, Margaritaville, and building a lifestyle around music
If you love Miami culture, Cuban roots, country music, storytelling, and Keys-on-a-boat vibes, this episode is for you.
