C-17 Globemaster III head-on at sunset — NC Air National Guard — about the Voice for Valor veteran podcast
About the Show

Past the biography. Into the conviction underneath the career

The show

Voice for Valor is a long-form interview podcast. Every episode is one guest, one conversation, no time limit. We talk to combat veterans, 9/11 first responders, Pentagon leaders, military families, and the people who carried the weight alongside those who served.

These are not highlight reels. We go past the biography and into the conviction underneath the career — the moments no one clapped for, the decisions that cost something, and the stories that don't fit inside a medal citation.

The host

Michael Komorous — Voice for Valor host and retired U.S. Air Force officer

Michael Komorous is a retired U.S. Air Force officer, data analytics specialist, and founder of Alpha Zulu Solutions. He built Voice for Valor because the best stories about service aren't the ones that get told on stage — they're the ones that come out two hours into a conversation when the guest finally stops performing.

Mike brings a researcher's instinct and an operator's frame to every interview. He does his homework, asks the questions most interviewers skip, and lets the silence do the work.
