Having the moral and ethical courage to stand in the gap when you are witnessing an injustice is difficult for anybody, but when you work for the federal government everything is being placed on the line. My guest today is Dr. Jason Piccolo. He has been a federal agent for over 20 years, a military veteran, an author of two books, a podcaster, and most definitely a patriot. On today's show, Jason shares his story and how he learned to make difficult and at times unpopular decisions for the good of humanity. Jason is a hard charger that is always pushing the envelope and setting the bar high. Jason's new book, "Unwavering: A Boarder Agent's Journey" has just been released. This book goes in-depth about Jason and the difficult decision he faced to bring an injustice to light at the highest level of the federal government. Some would label him a whistleblower but due to his courage, grit, and commitment to the oath he swore to, Jason spoke up and was able to impact countless immigrant children who were being placed with criminals when crossing the border into the United States. I just you will enjoy this conversation and maybe a new perspective.Dr. Jason Piccolo Website: https://jasonpiccolo.us/Dr. Jason Piccolo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjasonpiccolo/Dr. Jason Piccolo Twitter: https://twitter.com/DRJasonPiccoloDr. Jason Piccolo's Book: Unwavering: A Border Agents JourneyThe Protectors Podcast: https://theprotectors.buzzsprout.com/The Interrupted PodcastThe Interrupted Podcast WebsiteThe Interrupted Podcast Instagram PageThe Interrupted Podcast Facebook PageSteve's InstagramThe Interrupted PodcastThe Interrupted Podcast Website: https://www.interruptme.org/ The Interrupted Podcast Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/theinterrupted_podcast/The Interrupted Podcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/theinterruptedpodcast/Steve's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/interruptedsteve/The Interrupted Podcast YouTube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKu9POIpFKRlQXmRC_uYyfw

Finding hope following a horrific Naval aviation crash is exactly what Kegan “SMurF” Gill did. After years of preparation and training to fly a US Navy F/A -18E Super Hornet, Kegan found himself bracing for impact when his jet was speeding toward the Atlantic Ocean at nearly the speed of sound. In January of 2014 over the icy waters of the Atlantic, Kegan sustained devastating injuries from a high-speed ejection into the sound barrier. After over a dozen surgeries, two years of rehabilitation and weening himself off high dosage pain meds he returned to flying Super Hornets. Eventually he started to struggle from delayed onset PTSD and cognitive impairments from his severe traumatic brain injury. Pharmaceutical psych medication worsened his symptoms to the point of being hospitalized in a psychosis. After years of struggling in the VA healthcare system, nearly loosing his family and fighting the urge of suicide he discovered a variety of alternative treatments including psychedelics. He is now off all psych medications and truly healing his mind, body and soul. Kegan is committed to having a positive and lasting impact on others who have experienced significant physical and mental health injuries and desires to show others that there is a different path to healthy living.Kegan Gill InstagramWarriorangelsfoundation.orgHeroicheartsproject.orgVetsolutions.orgDefendersoffreedom.usWakeforwarriors.orgOperationsurf.org Topgunfighterfoundation.orgResilienceybh.comBrassandunuity.comFundraiser:https://give.warriorangelsfoundation.org/fundraiser/3688048The Interrupted PodcastThe Interrupted Podcast WebsiteThe Interrupted Podcast Instagram PageThe Interrupted Podcast Facebook PageSteve's InstagramThe Interrupted PodcastThe Interrupted Podcast Website: https://www.interruptme.org/ The Interrupted Podcast Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/theinterrupted_podcast/The Interrupted Podcast Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/theinterruptedpodcast/Steve's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/interruptedsteve/The Interrupted Podcast YouTube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKu9POIpFKRlQXmRC_uYyfw
