If you think San Antonio is just following Austin, think again. We sit down with Luis Rodriguez, CEO of the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, former Austin chamber leader, and tech founder, to map how a century-old institution and a hungry startup scene are building real pathways to wealth. From Toyota’s tier-one supplier strategy that elevated local Hispanic-owned firms to a new push for access to capital and workforce development, Luis shares the playbook turning authenticity into advantage.We unpack the “zero to one” grind through his own startup story, raising money, hiring people smarter than you, and turning chaos into traction. Then we zoom out. Why are young millionaires emerging faster? How do AI and easy access to information change the odds for disciplined founders? And where does the chamber step in to convert ganas into growth with capital programs, micro-lending allies, and procurement routes that actually move the needle?You’ll also hear how San Antonio’s ecosystem compounds wins: Geekdom’s collisions, Rackspace alumni fueling new funds, Tech Bloc’s leadership, and global ties across Mexico, Colombia, and Spain. Add an expanding airport, a revitalizing downtown, and a culture that welcomes new ideas, and you get a rare window before critical mass sets in. Timing and positioning matter; this is the moment to paddle into the wave.Tap play to learn how to align your network, solve real problems, and plug into resources that shorten your path from idea to revenue.
