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.

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!
