What does a calf kick have to do with vulnerability management? What can a fighter's mindset teach a security practitioner about operating against an adversary they've never faced?  Ron Eddings brings back fan-favorite combat sports analyst and commentator Robin Black for a conversation that was never meant to be about cybersecurity, and ends up being one of the most insightful episodes on the human side of the field. They dig into how underdogs actually win (hint: we're usually wrong about who the underdog is), what it really means to maintain control in a fight, and why the highest level of mastery might actually look like letting go of control entirely.  The conversation closes with a look at how the cybersecurity landscape is mutating alongside AI, and whether an arms race that trains itself is heading somewhere catastrophic, or whether it's simply the next evolution of the fight. The answer, like most things in this episode, is more nuanced than you'd expect.   Impactful Moments 00:00 - Introduction 02:10 - The Rewind: The Calf Kick and the Peroneal Nerve 04:05 - Welcome back, Robin Black 05:30 - Can smaller still beat bigger? 07:00 - Why underdogs don't win (And why we were wrong) 08:25 - Fighting is about exploiting belief systems 09:30 - Maintaining control against an unknown adversary 10:25 - Adapting vs. anticipating: be water 13:00 - Failure is mandatory 17:25 - How Robin's thoughts have changed about being attacked online 19:00 - AI and the mutating threat landscape 22:15 - Ron's closing thoughts   Links Connect with Robin Black on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-black-31b6bb39/   Check out Robin Black on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/RobinBlack   –  Check out our upcoming events: https://www.hackervalley.com/livestreams   Love Hacker Valley Studio?

My guest today is Jimmy Sweeney who is widely regarded as one of the greatest bare-knuckle fighters of the modern era. Throughout his career, he's won multiple world titles, fought some of the toughest men in combat sports, and helped transform bare-knuckle boxing from a niche pursuit into a global phenomenon.But behind the titles and highlight reels lies a world most fans never see. The brutal reality of weight cuts. The mental battles that take place long before the first punch is thrown. The sacrifices required to keep stepping into a ring when your body is telling you otherwise.In this conversation, Jimmy takes us inside that world. We discuss his journey from amateur boxing to becoming a bare-knuckle legend, the evolution of the sport, the psychology of fighting, contract disputes, career highs and lows, and some of the wildest stories from a life spent chasing competition.LinksJimmy's IGDark Finds: Explained YouTube Channel (SUBSCRIBE)HOW IT FALLS APART | Audio Experience
