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.

Former Navy SEAL Brian Dougherty joined The Protectors to talk about creating a small-business, leaving a legacy for his son, and a ton more. Make sure to check out Declan James Watch Company.
From the site: As a former Navy SEAL, Brian was instilled with a higher purpose, a purpose that guides his company today. It is not just about creating watches with fine craftsmanship, flawless design, or uncompromising standards. It's also about his desire to create a meaningful legacy and a company that his sons can be proud of for generations to come. This is why to us; watchmaking is not just a business - it's a time-honored tradition.
Every Declan James piece pays tribute to the heritage of watchmaking. They honor not only those who came before us but also those who will come after. Our company's history is rooted in service. We continue this lineage of humbly serving our customers with pride, integrity, and dedication.
