The Protectors® Podcast
The Protectors® Podcast is where powerful stories ignite purpose. Hosted by Jason Piccolo—a retired federal agent, former U.S. Army Infantry Captain (Iraq 2006), and author—the show explores the human side of courage, resilience, and leadership.
More than a podcast about service, it’s a platform for storytelling that empowers. Each episode highlights personal journeys of adversity, sacrifice, redemption, and triumph—revealing the mindset, discipline, and heart behind extraordinary lives. From frontline professionals to bestselling authors and acclaimed actors, the conversations uncover how real experiences inspire the stories that move us—and how storytelling itself becomes a force for strength and transformation.
Past guests include Sean Patrick Flanery, Andrews & Wilson, Mark Greaney, Stephen Hunter, Remi Adeleke, Florent Groberg, Clint Emerson, and Travis Mills—voices that inspire listeners to lead with courage, live with purpose, and tell their own stories boldly.

Dan Berei, the founder of Combat Flags, joined The Protectors® Podcast to discuss some BIG NEWS! Combat Flags has merged with Flags Of Valor! We talk about Dan’s pivot from the corporate sector, his GWOT deployments, identity, what the flag means to us, and much more.
I’m a huge fan of Combat Flags; take a look at the (4) flags behind my desk next time I post a studio pic, allo Combat Flags. They are back open for business today!
Both Combat Flags and Flags Of Valor have given back to the community through philanthropic work; Combat Flags has donated over $125,000 to Stop Soldier Suicide.
