Cybersecurity Mentors Podcast How to Reset Your Cybersecurity Learning Plan (And Stop Wasting Time)
If you feel like you’ve been studying cybersecurity but not actually making progress, this episode is for you.
In Season 6 Episode 2 of The Cybersecurity Mentors Podcast, Steve and John break down how to reset your cybersecurity learning plan and stop wasting time on the wrong things. Whether you took a break, jumped between too many topics, or followed advice that didn’t fit your goals, this episode will help you refocus.
We walk through how to honestly assess where you are, how to choose one clear cybersecurity path instead of trying to learn everything, and how to build a realistic learning plan that fits your background and schedule. We also call out common mistakes we’re seeing in 2026—like over-consuming content, chasing tools without fundamentals, and copying someone else’s roadmap.
This episode is about clarity, direction, and momentum—without starting over from zero.
