Using powerful insights from the world of NFL athletes, he explains the difference between guaranteed outcomes and performance-based incentives, showing how mindset, discipline, and personal accountability directly shape your results.<br /><br />He challenges you to rethink how you approach your career, your goals, and your daily habits. Success is not determined by age, background, or circumstances. It is driven by belief, clarity, and consistent action. By highlighting how top performers stay obsessed with preparation and understanding their value, Dr. Cole reveals how adopting an incentive-driven mindset can elevate your focus, productivity, and long-term success.<br /><br />This episode also brings a grounded perspective on AI. Instead of fear or hype, Dr. Cole makes it clear that AI is a tool designed to enhance your capabilities, not replace you. The real opportunity lies in how you use it to create, grow, and expand your impact over time.<br /><br />If you are ready to raise your standards, define your value, and take ownership of your results, this episode will challenge you to think bigger, act with intention, and commit to becoming world-class in everything you do.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of The Dr. Eric Cole Show.

In this episode of The Dr. Eric Cole Show, Dr. Eric Cole cuts through the hype around AI replacing jobs and running entire companies.<br /><br />Dr. Cole explains why businesses built entirely on AI agents are unrealistic and why human creativity, culture, and leadership remain the true drivers of successful organizations. At the same time, ignoring AI is not an option.

In this episode of The Dr. Eric Cole Show, Dr. Eric Cole cuts through the hype around AI replacing jobs and running entire companies.<br /><br />Dr. Cole explains why businesses built entirely on AI agents are unrealistic and why human creativity, culture, and leadership remain the true drivers of successful organizations. At the same time, ignoring AI is not an option. The real competitive advantage comes from using AI as a tool to analyze data, increase productivity, and enhance human decision-making.<br /><br />If used correctly, AI can give you a powerful edge.

Every interaction, every decision, and every way you show up impacts others. The question is not whether you influence people, but whether you are doing so intentionally.<br /><br />Drawing from personal experiences, leadership lessons, and real-world examples, Dr. Cole explains why focusing on yourself is not selfish, but essential. He explores how purpose shapes influence, why traditional New Year’s resolutions fail, and how reframing personal growth through the lens of brand and impact creates lasting change.<br /><br />This episode challenges listeners to slow down, reflect, and ask two critical questions:<br />What is my brand?<br />Who do I want to influence? <br /><br />If you are looking to finish the year strong, redefine your direction, and step into the next chapter with purpose, this conversation is your roadmap.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of The Dr. Eric Cole Show.

He challenges listeners to question long-held personal beliefs, prioritize their health, and lean into their humanity. Most importantly, he explains how true leadership comes not from hiding your challenges, but from having the courage to share them.<br /><br />This episode isn’t about cybersecurity tactics.

It’s not about pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion or chasing productivity through stress and caffeine. It’s about clarity, focus, and learning how to operate in a sustainable rhythm called the flow state. Dr. Cole shares a real-time look at one of his busiest days—balancing client deliverables, legal case prep, workouts, and podcast recording—and explains how it didn’t feel overwhelming, but invigorating. That’s the power of aligning your actions with a clear vision and long-term targets.<br /><br />As he explains, most people confuse burnout with high performance. They mistake exhaustion for hustle and burnout for progress. But when you're locked into a bigger purpose and fueled by clarity, your days feel powerful, not pressured. Flow is not chaos—it’s cruising altitude. And in this episode, Dr. Cole breaks down exactly how to find it, maintain it, and use it to build a bulletproof life. If you're constantly busy but rarely feel accomplished, this episode will help you reset your mindset and unlock a better way to work and live—without sacrificing your health or happiness.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

He explains how most people stay stuck because they think in short-term increments, which are often limited by past failures and self-doubt. But when you stretch your timeline and give yourself permission to dream, you unlock creativity, resilience, and possibility. With a strong enough "why," Dr. Cole argues, you can achieve anything—from financial freedom to massive personal or professional goals.<br /><br />Dr. Cole also draws parallels between human behavior and computer systems, reminding us that while it's difficult to change our internal “operating system,” we can always write new “programs” by reframing our mindset. Using real-life examples, he shows how people often exceed their limits when driven by urgent purpose—and how that same energy can be harnessed proactively over time. His own 15-year goal?

Drawing on the powerful idea that everyone has a message, a mission, or a purpose, Dr. Cole highlights the impact of even the smallest act of kindness and reminds us that world-changing influence often starts with helping just one person. Whether it’s a poem, a presentation, or simply making someone’s day better, your music—your voice—matters.<br /><br />He challenges us to reflect on what we’re meant to express in our lifetime, encouraging us not to wait until it’s too late. By embracing the butterfly effect, leading with compassion, and being intentional in how we impact others, we not only secure our own legacy but help others find the courage to do the same. This episode is a heartfelt call to action: live fully, give freely, and never let your purpose go unfulfilled.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

While the world shouts “grind harder” and “sleep less,” Dr. Cole reveals a truth most people overlook: real, lasting success comes from listening to your body, giving yourself rest, and creating space to think and plan. Sharing his personal routines and hard-earned insights, he challenges the myths about sleep, showing why your unique body rhythms—not society’s averages—should guide your schedule. But this episode goes deeper than sleep.<br /><br />Dr. Cole explains why high performers must guard their time, block out space for reflection, and avoid letting urgent (but unimportant) fires hijack their day. He offers a practical roadmap to reclaim balance in a tech-driven world, where being constantly connected often means being constantly depleted. Tune in to learn how to schedule your energy, not just your tasks—and discover why to be truly bulletproof, you must first be rested, intentional, and different from the average.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

With his signature clarity and humor, Dr. Cole explores the concept of self-awareness as the foundation of becoming bulletproof. He reminds us that we can’t fix what we don’t even realize is broken—and that many of our habits, especially around our phones, are undermining our relationships, focus, and success without us even noticing.<br /><br />Using a relatable and humorous dinner scenario, Dr. Cole highlights how we would never tolerate someone constantly looking away mid-conversation—yet we excuse it when it’s our phones pulling our attention. He argues that distraction, even if normalized by society, still communicates disrespect and lowers our standards of presence and connection. The solution? Non-negotiables. Bulletproof people, he says, live by rules and boundaries. One of his is simple: no cell phones at dinner. Not only does he follow it, but he challenges listeners to do the same—leave the phone in the car and give people your full attention. Because ultimately, to be bulletproof, your only addiction should be your goals, dreams, and who you’re striving to become—not your technology.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

He reveals a truth about the human mind that many overlook: if we’re not consciously solving real problems, our subconscious will create ones—often to our own detriment. Dr. Cole shares insights on how even the most privileged individuals can spiral without intentional focus, while others use that same space to create meaningful impact.<br /><br />Using personal strategies and real-life examples, he introduces his transformative system of “word alignment”—choosing a word of the year, quarter, month, and day to guide your subconscious toward the life you truly want. Whether it’s health, relationships, business, or mindset, Dr. Cole explains how to find your true north and break it down into focused, actionable goals. He teaches how to balance the different dimensions of life by identifying clear priorities, setting realistic stretch goals, and either starting top-down with your yearly vision or bottom-up based on your current pain point.<br /><br />If you’ve ever felt scattered, frustrated, or uncertain about your direction, this episode is your roadmap to mental clarity, inner power, and bulletproof resilience.

Being bulletproof isn’t about avoiding obstacles; it’s about ensuring that external events don’t derail your goals, objectives, and sense of purpose. Using a compelling analogy from The Matrix, Dr. Cole explains how we can develop the resilience to let life’s challenges fall away like bullets that never penetrate our focus. He also explores a crucial yet often overlooked truth: most people are living by goals set by others—whether it’s parents, bosses, or societal expectations. To become bulletproof, you must take back control and consciously define your own mission. But be warned—when you start setting your own objectives, it will scare the people around you, and even yourself. Dr. Cole shares personal insights and motivational takeaways on how to identify your purpose, set meaningful targets, and push through fear to create a life that’s truly your own.<br /><br />Tune in and take the first step toward becoming bulletproof.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

He shares his personal realization that many of the moments when he feels fatigued, sluggish, or unwell can often be traced back to dehydration. To combat this, he follows a simple yet effective rule—always have water nearby and drink consistently throughout the day. Drawing from medical insights, he highlights how dehydration is a common issue, even in hospitals where IV fluids are often the first treatment given to patients. He encourages listeners to adopt a proactive approach by drinking 10 to 12 ounces of water every hour, reinforcing the idea that water is just as essential as oxygen for overall well-being.<br /><br />Dr. Cole then shifts to a powerful analogy about life’s pace, comparing the roles of fighter pilots and commercial airline pilots. While fighter pilots perform quick, high-intensity maneuvers, they also require strategic planning, discipline, and preparation—just like individuals navigating their own lives. He challenges listeners to view themselves as the "CEOs" or "pilots" of their own journeys, responsible for making intentional decisions that impact their success. By integrating structure, hydration, and mindfulness into daily routines, one can achieve greater clarity, focus, and resilience in both personal and professional life.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

He starts with a simple yet profound question: "How are you feeling right now?" This question, often asked without thought, becomes a gateway to deeper self-reflection when answered honestly. Dr. Cole highlights the importance of changing the language we use about our experiences. Rather than labeling difficult moments as "painful," reframing them as "different" or "interesting" can shift our perception and help us embrace change with less resistance. He illustrates this through stories, such as how executives on an African safari faced a breakdown and remained calm in the face of potential danger. By adopting a mindset that sees challenges as opportunities for growth, we can build resilience and ultimately create "good" days more consistently. Dr. Cole's approach involves redefining what a "good day" looks like, setting realistic and attainable goals to prevent frustration, and understanding that progress comes from consistent effort and thoughtful reflection. This episode provides invaluable insight into how adjusting our mindset can help us navigate both professional and personal hurdles with greater clarity and confidence.<br /><br /><br />Tune in to discover how small steps toward self-reflection can lead to a stronger, more resilient mindset.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

He challenges listeners to question whether they are searching for offense or seeking out blessings and growth. Dr. Cole shares an impactful personal story that humorously illustrates how some people seem to live on the lookout for reasons to feel slighted, while others seek and find joy, connection, and empowerment. By consciously deciding where we place our attention, he argues, we can completely change our experiences. Resentment, anger, and frustration often arise because we unintentionally hold onto situations or people who don’t align with our values, but there's freedom in letting go and instead focusing on the positives and the lessons life offers.<br /><br />Dr. Cole emphasizes that, like our cyber defenses, our personal resilience is built by being intentional about the energy we allow into our lives. Sharing the memorable story of a teacher who judged a struggling student too quickly, he illustrates how shifting perspectives can help us show up with compassion and empathy, even in tough situations. Dr. Cole’s message is clear: in our personal and professional lives, we become "bulletproof" by seeking evidence of our own strength, potential, and blessings rather than reasons for offense.

He challenges listeners to question whether they are searching for offense or seeking out blessings and growth. Dr. Cole shares an impactful personal story that humorously illustrates how some people seem to live on the lookout for reasons to feel slighted, while others seek and find joy, connection, and empowerment. By consciously deciding where we place our attention, he argues, we can completely change our experiences. Resentment, anger, and frustration often arise because we unintentionally hold onto situations or people who don’t align with our values, but there's freedom in letting go and instead focusing on the positives and the lessons life offers.<br /><br />Dr. Cole emphasizes that, like our cyber defenses, our personal resilience is built by being intentional about the energy we allow into our lives. Sharing the memorable story of a teacher who judged a struggling student too quickly, he illustrates how shifting perspectives can help us show up with compassion and empathy, even in tough situations. Dr. Cole’s message is clear: in our personal and professional lives, we become "bulletproof" by seeking evidence of our own strength, potential, and blessings rather than reasons for offense. This episode offers listeners a fresh way to approach life’s challenges, encouraging them to look for the good, find humor in themselves, and create a life filled with purpose and positivity.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

Many times, people pursue goals that are shaped by others—whether it’s family, societal expectations, or childhood influences.<br /><br />Dr. Cole emphasizes that what we desire in our formative years often doesn’t reflect who we are or what we truly want as adults.He discusses how societal structures, particularly the education system, influence our beliefs and identity. Instead of encouraging self-reflection, society often pushes people into predefined roles without giving them the chance to explore their true desires. Dr. Cole suggests that taking intentional time for self-reflection, meditation, and journaling can be life-changing. He shares his personal routine, including a practice learned from Bill Gates, where setting aside quiet time allows for clarity in understanding one's goals and values. Through this practice, individuals can start living more authentically and make conscious choices about their future.Dr. Cole challenges listeners to embrace moments of self-questioning, encouraging them to ask, "Am I really living the life I want?" <br /><br />This episode provides actionable insights into how to tune out external pressures and focus on creating a life aligned with your core values.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.

Using the analogy of animals in captivity, he explores how humans often create self-imposed limitations—rules and beliefs—to adapt to new environments. While these boundaries provide safety and comfort, Dr. Cole argues that they can also confine us, keeping us from reaching our full potential.

Using the analogy of animals in captivity, he explores how humans often create self-imposed limitations—rules and beliefs—to adapt to new environments. While these boundaries provide safety and comfort, Dr. Cole argues that they can also confine us, keeping us from reaching our full potential. He challenges listeners to break free from this mindset and embrace a life of thriving rather than just surviving. Life’s true excitement, he says, comes from taking risks, exploring new possibilities, and creating the life we truly desire. Through powerful storytelling and personal anecdotes, Dr. Cole encourages us to believe in our ability to change our identity and manifest the life we’ve always wanted.<br /><br />Listeners will walk away from this episode with a renewed sense of empowerment, ready to embrace their role as the creators of their own lives.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.If you’re ready to address not just what was discussed in this episode, but the other aspects of your life that could use securing, book a discovery call with Dr. Cole here:<a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/</a><br /><br />Secure Anchor<br /><a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CISO Certification - Secure Anchor</a><br />]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1400</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>adaptation,breakfree,breakingfreefromcage,ciso,cyber,cyberexpert,cybersecurity,expert,geek,life,lifeadvice,manifest,motivation,motivational,podcast,podcaster,success,survival,tech,vciso</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/4b6bb3864fb10e3021dd177f12ad4fee.jpg"/><itunes:episode>71</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Power of Ownership</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-power-of-ownership--61316323</link><description><![CDATA[In this episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole delves into the importance of extreme ownership and personal responsibility as key components to achieving success, both in cybersecurity and life. He emphasizes that the mindset we adopt and how we choose to respond to situations significantly impact our energy and overall well-being. Drawing from his personal experiences, Dr. Cole illustrates how people often look for reasons to be offended or frustrated in trivial situations, such as delays at a restaurant, instead of practicing gratitude and appreciating the present moment. He likens our daily energy to a gas tank, explaining that without adequate sleep or rest, we deplete our reserves and hinder our productivity. He challenges common motivational advice that promotes minimal sleep, arguing that proper rest is essential to operating at full capacity.<br /><br />Dr. Cole further explores the power of our internal beliefs and how they shape our external reality. Using the analogy of squeezing an orange, he explains that what’s inside of us—whether positive or negative—will inevitably come out when we face pressure. He also stresses the importance of consciously programming our subconscious mind with positive affirmations, as our thoughts and beliefs directly influence the outcomes we experience in life. Whether it’s reframing negative situations or breaking free from limiting beliefs, Dr. Cole reminds listeners that change is an inside job, and by taking ownership of our mindset, we can manifest the life we truly desire.<br /><br /><br />Listen In!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.If you’re ready to address not just what was discussed in this episode, but the other aspects of your life that could use securing, book a discovery call with Dr. Cole here:<a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/</a><br /><br />Secure Anchor<br /><a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CISO Certification - Secure Anchor</a><br />]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/61316323</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/61316323/bc_ep_70.mp3" length="32146653" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Dr. Eric Cole</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole delves into the importance of extreme ownership and personal responsibility as key components to achieving success, both in cybersecurity and life.

He reflects on his own journey, where early on, he equated his value with the accumulation of degrees and certifications. However, he reveals that it wasn't the credentials themselves that made the difference, but rather the belief in their value. Dr. Cole emphasizes the power of perception, urging listeners to reconsider how they view their worth. Through personal stories, such as witnessing a colleague secure a higher salary by confidently asserting their value, he illustrates the transformative potential of recognizing and demanding what we truly deserve.<br /><br />Dr. Cole also explores the limiting beliefs we often carry from childhood, particularly around money and success. He challenges the common misconception that money is evil, instead framing it as a tool for achieving happiness and helping others. He shares a compelling example of a friend who dramatically increased his income by shifting his mindset about money, underscoring the importance of resetting our internal "financial thermostats." As the episode concludes, Dr. Cole leaves listeners with a powerful question: What limiting beliefs are holding you back?

He starts by addressing how people often live by limiting beliefs imposed by others, which are not grounded in reality. These beliefs, Dr. Cole argues, create imaginary problems that do not exist in the real world but are treated as significant obstacles. He uses the example of cybersecurity professionals aspiring to executive roles, such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), to illustrate how self-doubt and the internalization of negative beliefs prevent them from realizing their potential. By challenging these limiting beliefs and reframing their mindset, Dr. Cole helps them see that they possess the qualities needed for such roles.<br /><br />Dr. Cole further discusses the concept of a "thermostat" for success, where individuals are subconsciously programmed to reach a certain level of achievement based on past conditioning. Using a case study of a friend stuck at a consistent income level due to childhood beliefs about money, he demonstrates how changing one's internal thermostat can lead to greater success. By identifying and questioning these subconscious programs, individuals can reset their expectations and achieve higher levels of success. Dr. Cole emphasizes the importance of clarity in one's goals, maintaining a positive mindset, and consistently taking action towards those goals, which ultimately aligns one's life with their true potential and desired outcomes.<br /><br /><br />Listen In!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.If you’re ready to address not just what was discussed in this episode, but the other aspects of your life that could use securing, book a discovery call with Dr. Cole here:<a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/</a><br /><br />Secure Anchor<br /><a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CISO Certification - Secure Anchor</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60572041</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jul 2024 13:00:04 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/60572041/bulletproof_cyber_ep_60.mp3" length="33876376" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Dr. Eric Cole</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In the latest episode of "Bulletproof Cyber," Dr. Eric Cole explores the psychological barriers that hinder many professionals from achieving their goals.

By questioning and challenging these beliefs, individuals can break free from being the "best version of their limited selves" and strive towards their ultimate, unlimited potential. Using his own struggles with food addictions as an example, Dr. Cole illustrates how identifying and reprogramming these unconscious thoughts can lead to transformative changes. This episode is a motivational guide to overcoming internal barriers and achieving lasting success by becoming the best version of oneself.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Listen In!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.If you’re ready to address not just what was discussed in this episode, but the other aspects of your life that could use securing, book a discovery call with Dr. Cole here:<a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/</a><br /><br />Secure Anchor<br /><a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CISO Certification - Secure Anchor</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1332</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>bodybuilding,fit,fitness,fitnessmotivation,goals,gym,health,inspiration,instagood,instagram,life,lifestyle,love,mindset,motivation,motivationalquotes,quotes,success,training,workout</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/4b6bb3864fb10e3021dd177f12ad4fee.jpg"/><itunes:episode>58</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Finding Balance for Bulletproof Cyber Success</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/finding-balance-for-bulletproof-cyber-success--60343370</link><description><![CDATA[In this episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole delves into the significance of balance in our lives, particularly for achieving peak performance in the cybersecurity field. Drawing from personal experiences and research, he contrasts the aggressive "beast mode" mentality with the necessity of a balanced approach that incorporates both intense focus (sympathetic nervous system) and relaxation and recovery (parasympathetic nervous system). Dr. Cole explains the physiological and psychological need for balance to avoid burnout and maintain sustainable success.<br /><br />He introduces three crucial daily practices: meditation, listening, and thinking time. Meditation serves as a reset, helping individuals reconnect with themselves and their purpose. Listening involves clearing the mind to receive internal guidance and insights. Thinking time is an active brainstorming session where one creatively explores solutions to problems or ideas. Dr. Cole emphasizes the importance of dedicating time to these practices, suggesting that managing time effectively, rather than chasing wealth, is key to becoming bulletproof in both life and career. He encourages listeners to prioritize these habits to enhance productivity, creativity, and overall well-being.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Listen In!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for listening to this episode of Bulletproof Cyber.If you’re ready to address not just what was discussed in this episode, but the other aspects of your life that could use securing, book a discovery call with Dr. Cole here:<a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/</a><br /><br />Secure Anchor<br /><a href="https://secure-anchor.com/ciso-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CISO Certification - Secure Anchor</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/60343370</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jun 2024 13:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/60343370/bulletproof_cyper_episode_57.mp3" length="33287055" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Dr. Eric Cole</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole delves into the significance of balance in our lives, particularly for achieving peak performance in the cybersecurity field.
