Episode 264 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast features Tony Mont—a guest I met completely by chance while speaking at the Grove Theater during a Bedros event last month. Tony was sitting front row, and after I handed him the mic and heard his short but powerful response, I knew immediately: I need to have this guy on the podcast. And here we are.
Tony shares the gripping story of a life-altering bar altercation that resulted in a man's death—an incident for which he was charged with murder. After being acquitted at trial, Tony packed up, moved across the country, and set out to rebuild his life from the ground up.
The second half of our conversation dives into Tony’s journey as an entrepreneur. From starting with nothing to finding major success in both the bicycle and real estate industries, Tony’s resilience and drive are nothing short of inspiring.
He was an incredible guest and a blast to have in the studio. I think you'll be just as drawn to his story as I was.

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.
