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.

Sean Patrick Flanery joined The Protectors to talk about his Jiu Jitsu, his movie BORN A CHAMPION, Boondock Saints, and a ton of other topics. I was joined by my friend Dr. Mike Simpson of Greybeard Performance. If you haven’t checked out BORN A CHAMPION, please do, you can tell it is made for the protector type of audience. Sean also talks about the impact of training Jiu Jitsu compared to other disciplines, i.e. the ability to train at 100%.
