Chicago is frozen right now. ❄️☕ Chicago is frozen right now. Negative digits over the weekend, snow on the ground, and one of those mornings where everything feels a little slower. The kind of day where you wrap your hands around your mug and sit with your cafecito instead of rushing through it. That kind of morning invites reflection. Because in this episode, we talk about trust. Not the buzzword version. The lived version. The kind that shows up in small moments at work. In who you ...

2026/01/05

We made it through 2025. That alone matters. As we step into 2026, this episode of Corporate Cafecito is about choosing how we move forward. Not rushing. Not reacting. Choosing with intention. This conversation is an honest look at what last year required from us and what it actually gave back. What truly moved you forward in 2025? What quietly drained your time, energy, or headspace? What are you no longer willing to carry into this year? We talk about taking a real audit of 2025 thro...

Before we step into 2026, we wanted to pause and talk honestly about 2025. Not just what we survived, but what we learned, who showed up, and how our community kept moving forward even when things felt heavy. In this episode, we reflect on the realities of 2025 for our community and our workplaces. We talk about fear and resilience, DEI shifts, AI changing the job market, cultural guilt, and the pressure so many of us felt to stay quiet just to stay afloat. We also take time to lift up what...

AI Is Changing Again with Sergio Suárez Jr.

2025/10/27

When we first sat down with Sergio Suárez Jr., Founder and CEO of TackleAI, we were just beginning to understand artificial intelligence. We remember asking things like, “How does it even know what we like?” and wondering if AI could ever really replace human creativity. Now, AI has evolved faster than any of us imagined, and having Sergio back on the podcast felt like coming full circle. 🔁 In this ☕ cafecito, we talk about how quickly the world is changing and what that means for our

🎧 NEW EPISODE – S8 E11: “Why Me… and Not Them?" Have you ever reached a milestone you once dreamed of, only to feel a knot in your stomach instead of pure joy? That quiet voice that whispers, “Why me… and not them?” Success is supposed to feel joyful. But for many of us, it also feels complicated. There is a quiet weight that comes when your first bonus equals your parents’ monthly income, when you travel for work while your family never had the chance, or when you are seen as the “chosen

S8 E10: Más Datos, Más Dinero – Why Every Latine Professional Should Understand Business Metrics Mid-year is the perfect moment to pause and ask: Am I on track to hit my goals? Do I know the números that truly tell me the answer? Hard work opens doors, but knowing your business numbers is what keeps you in the room. Many Latine professionals are over-mentored and under-sponsored, and that includes not being taught the métricas that matter most or how to speak about them in a way that ...

Let’s be real. Most of us are not exhausted from one big decision. We are drained by the hundreds of small ones we make before noon. From “What should I wear?” to “Can I squeeze in this meeting?”, decision overload is real. And for many in our Latine community, the mental load runs even deeper. We are holding space for our families, our teams, and our dreams at once. In this cafecito, we open up about the daily weight we carry and how to ease the pressure: ✅ What decision fatigue looks like...

Jaime Viteri, President of Digital Latinos and founder of the Chicago Latino Network, said it best: “You can’t just call the network when you need the network.” Jaime’s right. A real network isn’t built overnight or only when things get tough. It’s built over time, with intention, presence, and love. You show up for your people, even when there’s nothing to ask for. You give, support, connect, and stay rooted because that’s what comunidad looks like. In this cafecito, we sat down with Jai...

Being told we "think in Spanish" at work and learning to reclaim our names and speak with pride. Whether you grew up bilingual, speak Spanglish, or were never taught Spanish because your parents were trying to protect you, you belong in this conversation. ☕️ In this episode, we ...
