A Conversation with Cybersecurity Community OG and EH-net Founder Don Donzal

In this podcast episode, host Phillip Wylie interviews Don
Donzal, the founder of the Ethical Hacker Network, aka EH-net. Don is a
cybersecurity professional, mentor, and community advocate. Don recently gave a
talk about his almost two-year sabbatical, where he learned lessons about
work-life balance and finding enjoyment in daily routines. Don shares his
personal experiences with burnout and its consequences on his health and
relationships. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, setting
boundaries, and finding a balance between work and personal life.

Don also discusses the need to engage in activities that
promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being, such as exercise,
meditation, and spending time with loved ones. He suggests experimenting with
different activities and finding ways to incorporate them into daily routines
to make them enjoyable and fulfilling.
 
Additionally, Don highlights the value of
learning and personal growth through activities like reading, listening to
audiobooks, or watching educational videos while engaging in other tasks like
working out or commuting. He encourages listeners to challenge themselves,
build healthy habits, and focus on what matters to them, to achieve a
fulfilling and balanced life.
