The Protectors®
The Protectors®: Pivot is a podcast about reinvention, resilience, and the moments that change the direction of our lives.
Hosted by former federal agent, Army veteran, author, and podcast host Jason Piccolo, the show explores what happens after service, success, failure, loss, burnout, and transition. Through conversations with veterans, leaders, athletes, authors, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who chose a new path, Pivot focuses on growth, purpose, and the courage to move forward.
This isn’t about living in the past.
It’s about what comes next.
The Protectors®: Pivot is for anyone navigating change, searching for purpose, rebuilding identity, or stepping into a second chapter.
