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.

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.
