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 This conversation is all about purpose, community, and taking ownership of our home . Whether you love the ocean, care about Miami’s future, or just need a push to start doing your part, this episode will hit home. 👇 Tune in, share with a friend, and if you pick up trash in your neighborhood, tag Andrew & @staytranquilo so we can keep modeling the change together.

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.

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 .
