True Blue Conversations - Jared Purcell - Australian Army 2 RAR Veteran and Podcaster Broken Fathers

Service doesn't end when you hang up the uniform—it evolves. And for some, the next mission becomes even more personal. Today on True Blue Conversations, we sit down with Jared Purcell—Australian Army veteran, former 2RAR soldier, and the voice behind the Broken Fathers podcast. Jared has lived the highs and the hardships of military life, but it's what came after service that shaped his next chapter. Through Broken Fathers, he has created a space for raw, honest conversations about fatherhood, identity, struggle, and rebuilding—topics that often go unaddressed but matter more than most. In this episode, we dive into Jared's time in 2RAR, the experiences that defined his service, and the transition out of the military. We explore the challenges of finding purpose beyond the uniform, the realities of fatherhood, and why telling the hard stories can be the most important mission of all. This is a conversation about resilience, responsibility, and redefining what it means to show up—not just as a veteran, but as a man and a father. It's a raw and powerful honest chat. This is True Blue Conversations—let's get into it. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Jared Purcell Editor: Kyle Watkins
