What It's About
An update from a business serving long-haired men that's become its own social movement.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1202
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone whose story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week’s segment was about a beekeeper and cheesemonger who is living the dream in Houston, Texas. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Chris Healy, a partner in The Longhairs, a booming business in San Diego that serves men with long hair worldwide. This is all about identity and belonging. There are a lot of lessons here, so pay attention to Chris’s update. I’ll have some detailed analysis of it at the end, because as I said, this is some powerful stuff. Listen to today's episode to hear Chris's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

Quote of the Day
"I would say the biggest challenge we are facing as a community is the continued presence of antiquated grooming policies in schools and workplaces that prohibit boys and men from growing long hair. "
