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.

Rafa is a LEO and is keyed in on living the life of a warrior. Rafa hosts the Man of War podcast and the Conclave of Warriors. Rafa and I chat about a myriad of topics…he is well versed in the warrior mindset and what it’s like to be an LEO.
From Rafa’s bio… Rafa's turning point in his life occurred when he felt the calling to do something meaningful with his life. Rafa went from a successful Wall Street Broker to a Law Enforcement Officer. The change of hats took him to a field where he was exposed to the darkness of humanity and the violence of the street.
The upcoming Conclave of Warriors has a host of great leaders…some you have heard here on The Protectors! Mike Ritland @mritland Craig Sawyer @real_sawman
