    Continuous Personal Evolution

    Continuous Personal Evolution

    In the latest episode of "Bulletproof Cyber," Dr. Eric Cole, a renowned cybersecurity expert and founder of Secure Anchor Consulting, delves into the importance of continuous personal evolution. Dr. Cole begins by discussing how individuals create their current realities through their thoughts and actions. He emphasizes the necessity of taking responsibility for one's life and the power this brings in shaping one's destiny. Using analogies from nature, like the growth process of a lobster, Dr. Cole illustrates how periodic transformation is crucial for substantial personal growth.Dr. Cole argues that maintaining the status quo, while acceptable for some, limits one's potential. Instead, he advocates for embracing vulnerability and shedding old identities to create new, improved versions of oneself. This process, he asserts, should be deliberate and recurring, involving regular self-assessment and goal setting. By clearly defining what one wants and believing in the possibility of achieving it, individuals can manifest their desired realities. Dr. Cole concludes by outlining practical steps for transformation, encouraging listeners to continuously evaluate and adjust their actions to align with their evolving goals and aspirations.

    Transform and Thrive

    Transform and Thrive

    In this week's episode of Bulletproof Cyber, hosted by Dr. Eric Cole, a distinguished cybersecurity expert and founder of Secure Anchor Consulting, listeners are invited to delve into the mindset necessary for achieving a "bulletproof" life. Dr. Cole emphasizes the importance of continuous growth and self-reinvention, urging cybersecurity professionals to regularly assess and redefine their goals and aspirations. He shares the metaphor of an eagle that, upon reaching midlife, must undergo a painful but vital transformation to extend its life and continue thriving. This process involves shedding old feathers, claws, and beak to grow new ones, symbolizing the necessity of ongoing personal and professional evolution.

    Dr. Cole further underscores the significance of daily reflection and prioritization, recommending a morning routine that includes meditation and strategic questioning. He advises setting four daily priorities spanning personal health, mindset, relationships, and business to ensure alignment with one's broader life goals. By comparing their ideal day with their actual daily routine, listeners can identify discrepancies and make necessary adjustments to lead a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that in cybersecurity—and life—it’s crucial to take control of one's time and continuously strive for personal excellence.

AvidianR ,

This doesn’t make any sense…

I’ve listened to every episode so far (17) and that’s what I keep thinking.

Things like:

“This doesn’t make any sense, this stuff is amazing why is it free?”

“This doesn’t make any sense, why is a guy like Eric Cole taking the time to contribute to the success and well-being of the cybersecurity professional rather than just focusing on contributing to the cybersecurity industry in general?”

“This doesn’t make any sense, why doesn’t this podcast have 50,000+ 5 star reviews?”

Well I finally did some digging and this is what I’ve come up with:

1.) Eric Cole is very successful in every key aspect of life (career, relationships, finances, etc) BUT it did not come easy. He seems to have genuinely fought for and achieved success through failure and flame.

2.) Eric seems to care more about the people in the cybersecurity industry than the industry itself (and he cares deeply about the industry so that says a lot). If he were to mentor an aspiring cybersecurity professional who, as a result, gained wealth and fame for their world class cybersecurity skills and knowledge I think Eric would be thrilled. But, if that same professional had sacrificed their health and relationships in the process I think Eric would be deeply grieved. Therefore, Eric is striving to ensure that cybersecurity professionals have the best tools available to help them achieve both, albeit with less failure and flame than he went through.

3.) This podcast doesn’t have enough 5 star reviews because cybersecurity professionals have misplaced their priorities. It’s been said that if you are to persuade you should appeal to interest rather than reason. So I’ll do that now. If you are a cybersecurity professional it is in your best interest to listen to this podcast and take its teachings to heart.

4.) Why is this free? Near as I can tell, it’s because Eric seems to believe that reaching and helping even one cybersecurity professional achieve true success will make the time, money, and effort he puts into the podcast worth it. I don’t know how big the audience is, but if you read this Dr. Cole, this podcast has made a tremendous positive difference in my life outside of cyber. It’s changed my trajectory for the better and I (and my family) are very grateful. Thank you.
