The BeatiDudes Heritage, Holiness, and Cheesy Hot Chocolate | Nico Cabrera | Episode #260
Nico Cabrera joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein as he delves into the healing power of family, the beauty of choosing to grow, and why quality time together is what truly matters. From Colombian traditions (yes, cheese in hot chocolate and bananas with soup) to the sacred “movie moments” with nieces, to the case for showing up in person instead of living on Zoom, Nico threads humor, heritage, and holiness into a warm reflection on belonging. Along the way, we detour through pork-chop poetry, airport theme songs, and the working rule of family life: when you’re together, don’t look at the bill, look at the people.
Highlights
• “Choose to be better.” Nico shares how his parents’ decision to grow and heal reshaped the family’s trajectory, proof that humility and conversion change generational outcomes.
• Presence > platforms. Trust and creativity accelerate when we’re physically together; Zoom can maintain momentum, but real relationships are built across a table (or next to each other at 6 a.m. work sessions).
• Time turns holy. As parents age and siblings get married, mundane moments (sharing ice cream, chasing toddlers) become sacred snapshots.
• Colombian comfort: Try it before you knock it, melty mozzarella in thick hot chocolate, and sweet banana alongside hot soup
• Family finance rule: When you’re with your people, stop itemizing the joy.
