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.

I was honored to have Debbie Lee on The Protectors podcast. Debbie was an amazing guest, with an unmatched strength. Debbie is continuing her son Marc’s mission to help others through charity and with her kindness. Debbie is a Gold Star mother, losing her son Marc in Iraq in 2006. Marc Alan Lee was the first Navy SEAL killed in Ramadi, Iraq 8-2-06. A member of SEAL Team 3, Charlie platoon, Marc made the ultimate sacrifice defending his teammates. Marc was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star w Valor, and the Purple Heart for his heroic actions. Marc’s name means “Mighty Warrior.”
Random acts of kindness… from Marc’s Last Letter Home.. Ask yourself when was the last time you donated clothes that you hadn’t worn out. When was the last time you paid for a random stranger’s cup of coffee, meal or maybe even a tank of gas? When was the last time you helped a person with the groceries into or out of their car? Think to yourself and wonder what it would feel like if when the bill for the meal came and you were told it was already paid for. More random acts of kindness like this would change our country and our reputation as a country.
America’s Mighty Warriors Mission is to honor the sacrifices of our troops and the fallen and their families by providing programs that improve quality of life, resiliency and recovery.
