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.

Dan Goldenberg of the Call of Duty Endowment returned to the show to talk about COD Endowment. Did you know that the endowment is partnered with organizations like Hire Heroes USA to help veterans find HIGH-quality jobs? AMVETS? And a bunch more. They aren’t all talk, with over $53 million given so far to help veterans find employment. Get this….100% of donations go to veteran employment.
Yes, I am nearing 50. Yes, I’ve been a gamer for 20+ years. Yes, I am rapidly approaching Prestige 4. Yes, I am bragging lol. Gaming is ageless in my opinion. I just like to escape behind a screen for a bit and talk smack with friends. I remember post-OIF that I would game for hours with a VERY diverse crew; from farmers, truck drivers, vets, cops, and even some factory workers from Saskatchewan Canada. Some of the best chats were in a COD game.
More to follow on this in-depth interview with Dan when the episode drops this Monday morning on ALL major podcast platforms, Amazon Fire TV, YouTube, Facebook Podcast, and Vimeo. Make sure to download the Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.) - Timeless Pack!
