31 minutes

In this compelling episode of the VET S.O.S. Podcast, we are joined by

Stephen Hudson, a Navy veteran and the visionary founder and CEO of AI

Ready Veteran, to discuss his revolutionary AI platform designed to ease

the military-to-civilian transition. Drawing from his own experiences

as a 20-year Navy veteran and successful entrepreneur, Stephen takes us

on a journey through the challenges service members face when entering

the civilian workforce and how AI is now making this process more

accessible than ever.

Stephen shares his personal story of transitioning in 2005, from

navigating his first job interview to understanding the nuances of

civilian workplace culture. These experiences inspired him to create a

tool that addresses the pain points many veterans encounter—such as

translating military skills, preparing tailored resumes, and tackling

salary negotiations. With a team of expert collaborators and input from

neuropsychologists, AI Ready Veteran offers a suite of tools that

doesn’t just focus on careers but also includes support for mental

health, family transition, and entrepreneurship.
