My Bio:

Josh White is a 20-year U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant (ret.), viral storyteller, and the award-winning host of the HeroFront Podcast—featured in Forbes, trusted by DoD leaders, and recognized as the 2022 Veteran Podcast of the Year. With over 200K downloads across 73 countries and 20 million annual views, Josh has built a movement around resilience, connection, and unfiltered truth—giving a voice to veterans, leaders, and survivors who refuse to be silenced.

From combat medic missions with Special Ops and the IDF to crisis communications during the COVID-19 pandemic, Josh’s career has spanned high-stakes leadership in maintenance, public health, public affairs, and military honors. He’s produced content used by senior officials, spoken alongside legendary names like Col. Allison Black, and was personally selected by America’s Most Wanted to advise on trauma and justice through the lens of military experience.

Now serving as a DoD Prevention Specialist and certified suicide prevention trainer, Josh leads from the front—using media, mentorship, and message to help others unlock their story and their strength. His mission? To bring the inner-HERO to the FRONT-lines of life—and remind the world that purpose begins at the end of your comfort zone.

My Qualifications:

Josh White is a retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant, award-winning storyteller, and the founder of HeroFront Media LLC. With over 20 years of military service across six assignments, two deployments, and one humanitarian mission, he built a career at the intersection of public health, strategic communication, media production, and resilience training. His leadership roles included Aerospace Ground Equipment Technician, Public Health NCO, Pandemic Mitigation Lead, Executive Officer, and Base Honor Guard NCOIC. He was named one of the Air Force’s 12 Outstanding Airmen of the Year in 2018—a distinction awarded to just 12 of 260,000+ enlisted members.

Josh is best known as the creator and host of the HeroFront Podcast, a platform giving veterans and military voices the recognition they deserve. Since 2018, HeroFront has grown into a nationally recognized media brand, amassing over 200,000 downloads across 66 countries and achieving more than 40 million views across Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Threads, and LinkedIn. The podcast has featured over 150 guests and earned the 2022 Veteran Podcast of the Year award. Josh was selected as a social media voice for the Air Force Sergeants Association and a founding member of Project Morpheus, an Air Force initiative led by the Vice Chief of Staff to inspire connection and innovation.

In addition to his podcasting success, Josh has led large-scale marketing and communication campaigns for major Air Force events, including the Catalyst of Growth Summit, Eglin AFB’s Air Force Ball, and AFSA’s national summit—helping raise $1.5 million and attracting tens of thousands of attendees. His creative work includes professional video recaps, fundraising strategy, and digital media production used to enhance brand visibility and drive engagement.

During his final years on active duty, Josh deployed to Israel as a joint-force combat medic and PA aide, where he helped develop multinational casualty evacuation protocols and captured field media used in senior briefings. As Chief of Public Health Operations during COVID-19, he led crisis communications and built educational campaigns that sustained 95% readiness and contributed to a 30% drop in drug use, earning the Secretary of Defense Drug Awareness Award.

Today, Josh continues serving the military community as a suicide prevention instructor, delivering SafeTALK and ASIST training to Airmen and civilians through his role as a GS-11 Prevention Specialist at Eglin AFB. He holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Public Health, is a certified LivingWorks trainer, and lives in Florida with his wife Angie, and two children, Summer and Phoenix.

His mission is simple—use storytelling, connection, and creative media to inspire change and give others the courage to be heard.
