The Protectors® Podcast

Send us a text

Honored to welcome Jack Carr to The Protectors. Jack is a former Navy SEAL and author of two of my favorite books, The Terminal List and True Believer. We chat about writing, Jack’s background, and one thing I miss big time...tracking. Jack’s written work brings the stories to life; we discuss his process and how he uses his real-life experience to get the story right (i.e. there is no external hammer on a Glock, come on Hollywood!)
A shout out to two organizations that Jack is passionate about:

· The National Ability Center https://discovernac.org/

· National SEAL Museum https://www.navysealmuseum.org/

Jack can be found at www.OfficialJackCarr.com and on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook at @JackCarrUSA

Author, veteran, and former SWAT officer Joshua Hood stopped by The Protectors®. BC Sanders joined us as we dived into some deep topics, from alcohol to stress. In Part 1 of this series, we talk all things guns.

About Joshua: Author of The Treadstone Resurrection & Search and Destroy Series—Aficionado of Sharp Knives & Loud Guns. Josh decided to follow his brother into the military and joined the army after graduating with an English degree from the University of Memphis. He spent five years in the 82nd Airborne Division, becoming a team leader in the 3-504 Parachute Infantry Regiment in Iraq from 2005-2006, where he conducted combat operations supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. From 2007-2008, Hood served as a squad leader with Afghanistan's 1-508th Parachute Infantry Regiment. He put more Foot-to-Taliban-Ass and was decorated for valor in Operation Furious Pursuit. On his return to civilian life, he was a sniper team leader on a full-time SWAT team in Memphis, TN, where he was awarded the lifesaving medal for saving the life of a civilian with quick, creative, and resourceful instincts. Unfortunately, he quit SWAT and the Police Department the day his son was born, knowing he couldn't bring that "trash" home to his family. Hood now lives in Collierville, TN, as a full-time author. He is married to Amy (who's clearly out of his league!) and is frequently outsmarted by his toddler, Jake.

Joshua Hood is the author of the Search and Destroy Black Ops thriller series, Clear by Fire and Warning Order, The Treadstone Exile (2/2021), and The Treadstone Resurrection (2/2020). Learn more about Josh by going "Under the Hood" to get his insights on The Art of Writing, Good Books, Sharp Knives, and Loud Guns.
