She Hacked Her Own Brain Stem to Learn to Walk Again
In 2012, Mandy Logan survived a gang attack that led to four clinical deaths and a series of strokes — leaving her with no memory, no ability to speak, and no control over her own body. Doctors had no real precedent for her recovery. What followed was years of near-total isolation, teaching herself a binary system just to communicate, and slowly, deliberately rebuilding her body and mind — eventually finding her way into weightlifting and, today, a respected voice in the cybersecurity community at events like DEF CON. This is a conversation about what it actually takes to rebuild from nothing, and why she believes most people give up on their health long before they have any real reason to.

This Offensive Security Pro Has a Message for the Cyber Industry - A conversation with Phillip Wylie
Philip Wylie has spent his career in offensive security - as a practitioner, podcaster, and conference speaker who's seen the industry from every angle. He's also spent decades proving that a demanding, high-stress career in cybersecurity doesn't have to come at the cost of your health. In this conversation, Philip talks about why so many people in this field put their health last, the excuses that hold people back (time, travel, stress), and the simple, realistic approach that's kept him consistent for decades - even while working full-time in one of the most demanding corners of the industry. If you work in cybersecurity and keep telling yourself "I'll start when things calm down" - this is the conversation to watch first.

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.

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.

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.
