**The Protectors® with Jason Piccolo**

**The original The Protectors® podcast, established in 2019,** is about great conversations with interesting people, from veterans and leaders to athletes, entrepreneurs, and authors.

Hosted by retired federal agent, U.S. Army veteran (OIF 2006), and author Dr. Jason Piccolo, the show explores the paths that shaped each guest and what they’ve learned along the way. Many episodes also go behind the scenes with writers, from debut novelists to *New York Times* bestsellers, on the stories behind their books.

Should you quit before you even take the step? Taking that step, it is part of becoming the protagonist of your life. In becoming the hero of your story. Every protagonist has doubts and fears. Every protagonist fails at one time or the other. Just have to keep moving forward and taking that step.

#348 | REWIND | Michelle Black | Author of SACRIFICE (Original Air Date June 8, 2021) Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

REWIND
Michelle Black joined The Protectors to talk about her book SACRIFICE and a ton more. SACRIFICE is the first book in years that I sat down and read cover to cover, it is that intense and a must-read. Michelle has an incredible story.
About the Book: The shocking and affecting memoir from a gold-star widow searching for the truth behind her Green Beret husband’s death, this book bears witness to the true sacrifices made by military families. When Green Beret Bryan Black was killed in an ambush in Niger in 2017, his wife Michelle saw her worst nightmare become a reality. She was left alone with her grief and with two young sons to raise. But what followed Bryan’s death was an even more difficult journey for the young widow. After receiving very few details about the attack that took her husband’s life, it was up to Michelle to find answers. It became her mission to learn the truth about that day in Niger–and Sacrifice is the result of that mission. In this heartbreaking and revelatory memoir, Michelle uses exclusive interviews with the survivors of her husband’s unit, research into the military leadership and accountability, and her own unique vantage point as a gold-star widow to tell a previously unknown story. Sacrifice is both an honest, emotional look inside a military marriage and a searing investigation of the people and decisions at the heart of the US military.
