We Got Your 6@6 with THE PEOPLE'S PATRIOT PROJECT
Episode 305 – Daniel Herzog and Jared Buchanan | Beautifully Broken
This week on We Got Your 6@6, we welcome Jared Buchanan and Daniel Herzog of Beautifully Broken, a powerful documentary project focused on resilience, healing, and the stories that connect veterans, first responders, and their families.
Jared and Daniel share a unique bond that begins with a common thread in their lives—both were raised by law enforcement families. Jared, a Marine Corps veteran and corrections officer, carries with him the lessons and values instilled by his father. One message in particular, shared by his father before his passing, continues to guide his life and mission today. Jared has made it his purpose to share that message with others, raise awareness, and encourage those who may be struggling to find hope and connection.
The passion Jared brings to every conversation is evident, and that passion is fueling a growing number of speaking engagements and opportunities to reach audiences across the country. His energy and commitment to helping others are impossible to miss.
Joining him is Daniel Herzog, Director of Beautifully Broken. Daniel shares how his love for storytelling began as a child, creating small documentaries and visual stories. Throughout his career, he has often found himself drawn to the stories of veterans and first responders, seeking to capture both their struggles and their triumphs.
Although Daniel had previously met Jared's mother, it was when he met Jared himself that the vision for this project truly came together. He was captivated by Jared's energy, authenticity, and the way he was navigating life's challenges while helping others do the same. That connection became the foundation for Beautifully Broken.
For Daniel, this project has grown into something much larger than a documentary. From marketing and screenings to traveling alongside Jared for speaking engagements, he has become deeply invested in ensuring these stories reach the audiences who need to hear them most.
Together, Jared and Daniel discuss the power of storytelling, the importance of vulnerability, and how sharing our experiences can help others find healing and purpose.
Music Guest: Anthony Segovia
This week's musical guest is Anthony Segovia, a Marine Corps veteran whose military roots run deep, with both parents and many family members having served. During the COVID pandemic, Anthony picked up a guitar and began a journey that has led him to songwriting and performing.
🎵 "Those Days"
Recorded in Dallas, Texas, this was Anthony's first country song. Looking back on difficult moments in life, he reflects on how experiences that felt overwhelming at the time often become memories viewed through a different lens. It's a nostalgic reminder to appreciate the journey.
🎵 "Dream"
Written shortly after "Those Days," this song offers hope in the midst of struggle. Drawing from challenges both before and after his Marine Corps service, Anthony opens up with vulnerability while delivering a message that healing and resolution are possible.
🎵 "Fall Time Leaves"
A bittersweet reflection on a relationship that ended not because of conflict, but because life took two people in different directions. The song explores acceptance, growth, and the lingering hope that some stories may find their way back around.
Thank you to Jared Buchanan, Daniel Herzog, and Anthony Segovia for sharing your stories, experiences, and talents with us. Your dedication to helping others and creating meaningful conversations continues to inspire.
