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.

#339 | Monologue on Negativity & the 90/10
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
90/10
Negativity is infectious, like an airborne disease, that propels from the mouth directly into your ears.
It doesn’t have to be negativity coming directly from you, it can be media (social and mainstream), from the family, from friends, and a big one, co-workers.
Anxiety, health, family, life in general adds to the stress and pressure of your life, adds up big time. Blood pressure rises, sleep is off the hook with sleepless nights. Now add negativity to it, feel your stress levels and anxiety sky rocket.
How much of this negativity comes from actions outside our control, outside our purview, and how much really should we be worried about. Is it just grumbling, lamenting and commiserating with others. Ever feel good after that? Me either.
Sometimes you cannot control the negativity, that is outside of what 90/10 is. There are instances that life throws at us, those we tackle head one. What is always thrown at us? Is the glass half empty or half full, get this, it has something in it! It’s not empty, so who cares if it is half empty or half full, at least you have something.
Try out the 90/10 for a few days. If it works, cool. If not, cool.
