Cyber Seatbelts and Digital Discipline
In this week’s episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole delivers a passionate and urgent message about living with purpose—and protecting your digital life in the process. Drawing from his own love for music, he reminds us that everyone has a unique “song” to share with the world and that our daily actions must align with that mission. Using the metaphor of seatbelts in the 1970s, he reveals how society once resisted a safety measure that is now second nature—just like we are currently resisting basic cybersecurity habits that could save our digital lives.

Dr. Cole dives into the alarming reality of cyber warfare, highlighting the recent breach that exposed billions of passwords and the rising power of cyber threats from nations like North Korea and Iran. But more importantly, he gives listeners two practical challenges: implement tech-free dinners to reconnect with family and start deleting unused apps to reduce digital risk.

This episode is a wake-up call to not only secure your cyber world—but to live each day with purpose, clarity, and intention.
