This week's episode featured entrepreneur, author, and community leader Ali Hemyari of Nashville K9 and Hemyari Family Companies. Ali's mission is simple but powerful: create a positive impact in the community while serving others and building a lasting legacy for his children. Throughout the conversation, Ali emphasized that none of his success happens alone. He repeatedly credited his outstanding team, noting that the organization would not move forward without the dedication and commitment of its staff. Nashville K9 has built an impressive facility focused on training dogs and preparing them for successful futures with their families and handlers. The operation is a testament to Ali's vision and the hard work of the trainers and staff who make it all possible. Ali is also the author of two books: * The Success Code * Discipline Looking ahead, Ali has several exciting projects in development, including a new podcast and an innovative app called Pawdentity. Special thanks and gratitude were extended to Rain, Katy, Mariah, Jordan, Molly, John, Jessica, the many experienced trainers who help make the operation successful, and the clients who trust Nashville K9 every day. Ali's message throughout the interview was clear: success is built through service, gratitude, discipline, and investing in people. This week's featured artist was Darrin, better known as "Daddy Peanut," from the band Forced Hammer. The nickname "Daddy Peanut" comes from a personal family story involving his son, who had a peanut allergy despite loving peanuts. Like many great stories, it became a memorable part of his identity. Forced Hammer began years ago following Darrin's reserve service. When he returned to active duty, music had to take a back seat. After retiring from the Marine Corps in 2023, he jumped back into the music world with renewed passion and determination. Forced Hammer delivers high-energy heavy metal but has the versatility to play a variety of musical styles. The band is currently working hard to release more music and expand its reach. One of Darrin's meaningful projects involved collaborating with fellow Iraq veteran Mike Corrado on a suicide awareness video focused on veteran mental health and suicide prevention. What stood out most during the interview was Darrin's passion—not just for music, but for people, friendship, and having fun while pursuing his dreams. A new website is coming soon at ForcedHammer.com. Special shoutouts were given to: * Miguel (Drummer) * Lee (Bass Player) * His wife, for her unwavering support * Shawn-Dog Productions for providing opportunities to perform * Everyone supporting the band's continued growth Mi Classica A powerful introduction to Forced Hammer's musical style and energy. Mt. Snowport Written about fellow retired Marine and friend Andy Hewitt, this song explores the importance of understanding personal limits, avoiding burnout, and recognizing the dangers of pushing too hard without taking care of yourself. Land of the Rising Sun A thoughtful tribute reflecting on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, honoring both those who experienced the tragedy and the difficult decisions faced by military and political leaders during wartime.

We show up, lend a hand, offer encouragement, and carry burdens alongside those who are struggling. But who takes care of the people doing the helping? I've often thought that if I were responsible for a team of employees, my first priority would be ensuring they were healthy and thriving—good food, physical activity, fresh air, quality family time, and opportunities to recharge. When people are cared for, they are better equipped to care for others. The same principle applies to all of us. Whether you're a caregiver, first responder, veteran advocate, volunteer, parent, or friend, you cannot pour from an empty cup. Taking time for yourself isn't selfish; it's necessary. Take the walk. Spend time with family. Get some rest. Enjoy the sunshine. Laugh with friends. Protect your peace. The people who help others deserve help too. Remember: Taking care of yourself allows you to continue taking care of those who need you most.

We Got Your 6@6 – Episode 306Alex – The Bearded Traveling Veteran & Music Spotlight: Scotty Hasting Episode 306 featured Alex, better known as The Bearded Traveling Veteran, whose mission is simple but powerful: connect with veterans, share resources, and help prevent the loss of more brothers and sisters in arms. After traveling more than 53,000 miles, Alex has met countless veterans across the country and has witnessed firsthand the challenges many continue to face after service. Having lost numerous battle buddies, he is passionate about raising awareness, building connections, and supporting organizations that are making a difference in the veteran community. Alex believes our current systems are failing too many veterans and hopes that by partnering with veteran-serving organizations, we can spread the word about available resources and create stronger support networks. His travels have already covered much of the southeastern United States, and he continues to build meaningful relationships everywhere he goes. We were honored to feature music and stories from veteran artist Scotty Hasting, who shared the inspiration behind several of his songs. "Scars" Originally intended to be an outlaw-style song, Scotty's fellow songwriters encouraged him to tell a more personal story. The result is a powerful reflection on both the physical and emotional scars that service can leave behind. "Good to Hear Your Voice" One of Scotty's most emotional songs, inspired by the passing of his father last year. After listening to an old voicemail from his dad, Scotty and his girlfriend transformed those feelings into a heartfelt tribute about loss, love, and remembrance. "Grateful" Years in the making, this song represents Scotty's heart and soul. It is a deeply personal expression of gratitude and resilience that he has been eager to share with listeners. A sincere thank you to Scotty Hasting for sharing your music, experiences, and message with our audience.

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.

Episode 304 – Javier Guitron This week on We Got Your 6@6, we welcome Javier Guitron, a straightforward, honest, and driven veteran who shares his military experiences, his plans for the future, and the lessons he has learned along the way. Javier spent several impactful years serving in the military and looks back on that chapter of his life with pride. Today, he is focused on the next mission—completing his Master's degree and preparing for law school. He currently works in executive protection, a career he enjoys and excels at, while continuing to pursue even greater opportunities. Like many veterans, Javier reflects on the value of military service while also considering what the future may hold for his son. While he may hope his son chooses a different path, he is committed to supporting whatever decision he ultimately makes. One of the highlights of the conversation is Javier's memorable Special Forces story. While the experience itself may not have been funny at the time, Javier's ability to find humor and perspective in the situation makes for a great story and an even better lesson. When asked what advice he would give those transitioning out of the military, Javier offered a powerful message: "Monetize yourself and your time." He encourages veterans to continue developing their skills, investing in themselves, and adding value wherever they go. By becoming highly capable and continually growing, veterans can create opportunities and build successful futures beyond their military service.
