In this deeply personal and wide-ranging episode of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Tony Holmes sits down with a mentor, leader, and trailblazer — Brian Allen — former GENTS advisor and recently retired Senior Director of Security and Emergency Management at Galena Park ISD.
From the high school halls where he first mentored young men like Dr. Holmes, to the savannas of South Africa, Brian reflects on a journey marked by service, travel, and transformation. He shares unforgettable moments from his recent travels to Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Mauritius, offering a vivid look into the beauty of the landscapes, the soul-stirring safaris, and the serenity of the ocean and vineyards.
Now in a new chapter, Brian has launched Protect Ed Consulting, a business devoted to creating safer school environments through intentional planning, proactive safety measures, and empowering leadership. But his impact doesn’t stop there — Brian opens up about the importance of men’s mental and emotional health, the need for safe spaces for men to talk openly, and his advocacy work in memory of his brother through the Spikes for Anthony campaign, fighting for justice and change after tragedy.
This episode is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and legacy-building — you don’t want to miss it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
