Why Being in Control is Scary—And Why You Must Do It Anyway

In this powerful episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole breaks down what it truly means to be bulletproof—not just in cybersecurity, but in life. 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.

Tune in and take the first step toward becoming bulletproof.
