Jason Redman achieved his dream of being a Navy SEAL. But he nearly threw it all away with arrogance. A supportive commander who recognized his potential sent him to Army Ranger school to learn leadership and to humble him.

In 2015, Jason Piccolo worked on the DHS Human Smuggling Cell to counter the illicit human smuggling trade, including the unending flow of unaccompanied migrant children. An email that showed how the U.S. government handed over 3,600 kids to verified criminals left Jason asking his leadership answers - answers he never received. The top leaders at DHS knew this and did absolutely nothing. After being stonewalled multiple times, Jason became a whistleblower and exposed how children under ten were being put in danger.Check out Jason’s Books: Out of the Shadows: A Government Whistleblower’s Firsthand Account of How the Protection of Migrant Children Became a Political Firestorm and Unwavering | A Border Agent’s Journey: The Definitive Edition.
