The Protectors® with Jason Piccolo
The original The Protectors® podcast, established in 2019, is about resilience, reinvention, and the moments that change the direction of our lives.
Hosted by retired federal agent, U.S. Army veteran (OIF 2006), author, and interviewer Dr. Jason Piccolo, the show explores what happens after service, success, failure, burnout, loss, transition, and personal transformation.
Through conversations with veterans, leaders, athletes, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who chose a new path, The Protectors® focuses on growth, identity, purpose, and the courage to move forward.
Jason also interviews both bestselling and independent authors, exploring the creative process, the writing journey, the challenges of publishing, and the stories behind the books. From debut novels to works by New York Times bestselling authors, these conversations offer insights into storytelling, perseverance, and success.
These are conversations about second chapters, hard-earned wisdom, and finding meaning after life changes course.
Whether you’re rebuilding, redefining yourself, chasing something new, launching a new venture, writing your first book, or simply trying to move forward, The Protectors® is about navigating change with resilience and purpose.

Shelley Klingerman inspires women to prepare and to protect themselves. Shelley authored "Vigilance: The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Personal Safety, Self-Protection Measures and Counter Measures.” We had a great conversation about empowering women to prepare and protect themselves. My big takeaway was to look at safety and security from the other person’s perspective. Listen in…
About the book: Women rarely take the time to think about their own safety and in the moment of a crisis is a terrible time to start. Klingerman, in collaboration with a variety of subject matter experts, has compiled a list of tips, tricks and tactics for women to have as a “go to” in event they find themselves in a bad situation; all of them are quick and easy to implement. "Vigilance" provides a number of ways to start modeling good safety habits for your friends and family.
