You can have a creative life, on your terms. Just ask Tony Tharae. He made it happen.

Tony's a filmmaker, storyteller, a creative powerhouse, dabbling in all sorts of media, from film to illustration to branding and beyond. He has a background in Fine Arts and Mechanical Engineering, and has created work for major companies like Yahoo!, The Walt Disney Company, Qualcomm, Allergan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Condé Nast, and Sony—as well as independent filmmakers, musicians, and more.

Tony shares his journey of film and storytelling with details about his leap from a steady brand job to focusing on his independent creative ventures. We discuss his recent projects including the film 2081, RIFT, and a graphic novel The Ninth Minute. Also, we have a great conversation about storytelling.

Tony is doing what he loves. That includes raising his daughter as a single father.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
