EdgeRunner AI CEO Tyler Saltsman joins hosts Patrick Murphy and Dan Kunze for a conversation about an increasingly pivotal field: defense tech. As technology advances and the U.S. government looks increasingly to smaller defense tech companies for partnerships, it's an opportune time for service members and veterans to consider joining the field. Saltsman discusses how veterans can break into tech careers, the work EdgeRunner AI has been doing to integrate artificial intelligence into the military, and his own journey from the Army to the world of AI.

Yahoo Finance's Warrior Money, hosted by former Congressman Patrick Murphy and veteran investor Dan Kunze, is dedicated to uplifting the financial well-being of military veterans transitioning into civilian life. Each week, an array of guests—from everyday vets to high-ranking government officials—offer insight on successfully making the leap from service to business.
