Reporters of the Protectorspodcast.
I remember starting the podcastusing my phone and some
headphones and people would callin and I'd have like a list of
like 10 questions, 10 or 12questions that I had, and I
would just ask like well, wherewere you born?
It was like so bad, it was bad.
Never listened to those firstepisodes of the Protectors.
Eventually it morphed more intoa conversation, and that's
something I really enjoy doing.
I love talking to people.
(01:10):
The guests have been so diverse.
I mean, I've had everydaypeople, everyday protectors,
everyday heroes, and I've had,you know Herschel Woody Williams
, a Medal of Honor recipient,and I did that in person and I
still get goosebumps thinkingabout that right now.
I've had so many of you on theshow.

2019, february of 2019 is when Istarted it and I wanted to have
my own voice, and I wanted tohave my own voice to have
(01:53):
conversations with people, andI'm looking at something right
now that I created with thispodcast and I love it.

other A husband, a wife, aboyfriend, a girlfriend, those

protectors.
It's hard to sum up what aprotector is.
When I first started thispodcast, a protector to me had
to have some sort of servicebehind them, whether that be
military or police or firstresponder.
They had to be that type ofprotector.
Over the years, I've had a lotof people come up to me and be
(03:00):
like you know, I wish I did this, I wish I did that, I wish I
served.
But a lot of those people Italked to did serve.
They served their community,they served their fellow man and
woman.
They're protectors.
This isn't the end of theprotectors.
I know I shouldn't have saidthat this is the final episode.

will be back.
