About this listen

If you’ve been learning cybersecurity, applying for jobs, or working in the field—and your confidence has taken a hit—this episode is for you.

In Season 6, Episode 3 of The Cybersecurity Mentors Podcast, Steve and John break down why confidence drops so often in cybersecurity and how to rebuild it in a real, practical way.

We talk about:

  • How lack of confidence shows up in interviews and on the job
  • Why rejection, layoffs, and career changes fuel imposter syndrome
  • The difference between chasing confidence and building competence
  • How small wins and repetition rebuild belief over time
  • Why failure is part of growth—not a sign you don’t belong
  • How community feedback helps silence self-doubt

This episode isn’t about hype or “fake it till you make it.”
It’s about earning confidence through action, consistency, and support.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You need reps, feedback, and people in your corner.

Come hang out with us in the Cybersecurity Mentors Skool community. It’s free to join.
