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.

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.
