In this episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole explores the transformative power of long-term vision by challenging listeners to plan 15 years into the future. 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.
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? To raise $100 million to help establish global cybersecurity laws that protect people across all nations.
