Jack Rhysider at DEFCON 34 -The Health Story He's Never Told
Live behind the scenes at DEFCON 34 - He's the voice behind Darknet Diaries - the podcast that's pulled back the curtain on some of the internet's darkest, strangest, and most dangerous stories. Hackers, spies, cybercriminals, breaches that shook the world. He's told all of their stories. He rarely tells his own. In this episode, Jack sits down to talk about something he's never really spoken about publicly - the transformation happening behind the mask. Testosterone, discipline, sleep, mindset, and the hard lessons that took him from barely climbing a flight of stairs to rebuilding his body and mind from the ground up. No script. No narration voice. Just Ben & Jack chatting... If you want more: https://www.wehackhealth.com/ Book a coaching call here Support the show Want to know more about coaching?

Eric Foster has spent 30+ years in cybersecurity. Three-time CISO, helped build and sell six companies, and now CEO of TENEX.AI He also used to weigh over 400lbs. In this episode we talk about how he went from 420 lbs to around 214 lbs to building one of the fastest-growing companies in cybersecurity. We get into the shit that actually made the difference: food, training, GLP-1s, travel, stress, identity, confidence and building a system that works even when life is chaotic. Because taking care of your health doesn't have to come at the expense of building something great. If anything, it might be what allows you to.

Went to Black Hat & DEF CON to Talk About Health. Here's What I Learned
After 10 days in Vegas and a week of conferences with well over 100 conversations and 20 sit down podcasts, I have learned a lot. I decided to try and organise my thoughts from those conversations and that is what this episode is - the things I saw, the conversations that stuck with me, the struggles that people have and the want for a better state of health in the industry. I guess it's not so much a conference recap and more of an insight to the humans behind cybersecurity and why I believe we need to start taking their health and performance as seriously as the systems they're responsible for protecting.
