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.

The Protectors Podcast ™ The assassin slips from the tree line, firing five shots into Colonel Joseph Alon, then seemingly ghosts into the shadows. In the 1970s information flowed at a snail’s pace, a BOLO (Be-On-The-Lookout) did not reach the intended audience for hours or days. An international watchlist was nothing compared to what we have today. Joseph’s assassin slipped away without a trace. In this episode, we discuss what the world was like in the 1970s from culture to technology. A further dive into Ted’s father and Fred’s background. Come along as we tell this story.
