Focus Like a Boss

In this powerful episode of Bulletproof Cyber, Dr. Eric Cole kicks off with a bold challenge: are you truly in control of your life, or have you handed over that power to your technology? With his signature clarity and humor, Dr. Cole explores the concept of self-awareness as the foundation of becoming bulletproof. He reminds us that we can’t fix what we don’t even realize is broken—and that many of our habits, especially around our phones, are undermining our relationships, focus, and success without us even noticing.

Using a relatable and humorous dinner scenario, Dr. Cole highlights how we would never tolerate someone constantly looking away mid-conversation—yet we excuse it when it’s our phones pulling our attention. He argues that distraction, even if normalized by society, still communicates disrespect and lowers our standards of presence and connection. The solution? Non-negotiables. Bulletproof people, he says, live by rules and boundaries. One of his is simple: no cell phones at dinner. Not only does he follow it, but he challenges listeners to do the same—leave the phone in the car and give people your full attention. Because ultimately, to be bulletproof, your only addiction should be your goals, dreams, and who you’re striving to become—not your technology.
