[Downtown San Antonio]: Join us for the premiere episode of Better Futures, where we sit down with Tommie Gonzalez, the founder of Puro Handsome Barbershop. Tommie’s journey from jet-setting indie record label owner in Europe to passionate downtown barber in San Antonio is a fascinating one.

After a disappointing meeting with Spotify representatives, Tommie decided to leave the music industry and focus on the one thing that couldn’t be downloaded: a good haircut.Since founding Puro Handsome in 2019, Tommie has applied his previous mantra of making clients feel like stars to the barbering industry.

In this episode, we delve into Tommie’s journey and his love for downtown San Antonio. Tommie believes that a successful downtown should be dense, unique, and walkable, providing spaces for people to live, work, and play.

Join us as we explore Tommie’s story and examine San Antonio’s progress towards achieving a thriving downtown community.
