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.

Clint Emerson returns to The Protectors Podcast™. Clint talks about his new book THE RUGGED LIFE, his show YOU CAN’T SURVIVE THIS PODCAST, and a ton more! @100deadlyskills In this clip, Clint talks about being your own Protector.
Gotta say, this was one book I could not wait for. It was like the ole Black & Decker “How To” books my dad had when I was a kid; except it isn’t how to build a deck, it is how to survive and thrive! Really cool info within these pages…. From being your own protector to raising livestock! It has everything you need, seriously. PS. Makes a great Father’s Day book!
