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.

Honored to welcome Jack Carr to The Protectors. Jack is a former Navy SEAL and author of two of my favorite books, The Terminal List and True Believer. We chat about writing, Jack’s background, and one thing I miss big time…tracking. Jack’s written work brings the stories to life; we discuss his process and how he uses his real-life experience to get the story right (i.e. there is no external hammer on a Glock, come on Hollywood!)
A shout out to two organizations that Jack is passionate about:
· The National Ability Center https://discovernac.org/
· National SEAL Museum https://www.navysealmuseum.org/
Jack can be found at www.OfficialJackCarr.com and on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook at @JackCarrUSA
