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.

Mike joined The Protectors w/ Jason Piccolo to talk about his time in the Marines and as a Police Officer in New Jersey to his transition to wood art. Mike does incredible work with wood; from flags to symbols. Mike is not solely about his woodworking; he gives shouts out to other great artists as well. Listen in..
From Mike’s website: In May of 2019, my wife and I went to grab dinner at a small little brick over pizza place called "Dough" in West Caldwell NJ. The walls are covered in reclaimed wood, accented with wooden American Flags. The wife says, "Babe, can you make one those?"......and here we are, the rest is history.
