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.

Kara Smith of DELIVERFUND joined The Protectors to provide critical insight into the domestic trafficking world from methods of recruitments, victims to survivors, the need for resources, and why this is such an important topic.
Kara began her career as an intelligence analyst supporting critical missions spearheaded by the National Security Agency and later worked with a specialized counter- terrorism unit within the FBI. Her unique analytical capabilities and experience in combating counter-terrorism at home and abroad directly inform the counter terrorism methodology that DeliverFund follows to combat human trafficking here in the United States.
