A proposito di questo titolo

After a 17-year corporate career ended unexpectedly, Evelyn Ruiz didn’t stop—she pivoted. In this episode of Island Money 365, we sit down with the powerhouse behind Hasta Luego, Friend—a mobile café and soon-to-be brick-and-mortar rooted in family legacy, resilience, and delicious coquito-infused drinks.

From selling her beloved sneaker collection to hauling a vintage trailer from Florida, Evelyn takes us behind the scenes of building a business from the ground up—with no barista experience, just heart, hustle, and heritage.

We talk setbacks, wrap jobs gone wrong, balancing entrepreneurship and caregiving, and how Evelyn honors her abuela’s migration story through every cafecito she serves.

Listen now and get inspired to bet on yourself—even when the path isn’t clear.

Hartford-based
Puerto Rican-owned
Fueled by culture, community, and coquito

Evelyn reminds us that we don’t need everything to start—just a dream, a plan, and the guts to go after it.

Island Money 365 — where money stories and migration journeys meet.
