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.

#9 | Aaron Lohman | NYPD Sgt. & Motivator
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
NYPD Sgt. Aaron Lohman has been working the streets of NYC for over a decade. The life of a NYPD police officer is not easy, especially if you are proactive, as Aaron is. Meals can be skipped, and when you do have the opportunity, you splurge. Aaron saw his weight get up there...and he attacked it head on. First getting on a bike, next..hitting the iron. He is a true inspiration and his Instagram moniker of “Huge Fat Loser” is great, because he lost of ton of weight and is leading from the front in the NYPD. Aaron is a true Protector. Listen to Aaron tell his story.
