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.

Kevin Flike joined The Protectors. I met Kevin Flike through the S & P Global VALOR series viewing of his documentary “Wounded By War: A Green Beret’s Hard Learned Lessons In Resilience And Self-Reliance”. Kevin’s story is incredible, as is his drive to turn a devastating combat injury into a motivating force to push him forward. His injury did not stop him, it changed his direction. We touch on a ton of great topics including discussing The Green Beret Foundation, in which Kevin is on the Board of Directors.
