The National Syndication Impact of Contributing to NIVW Magazine

As the co-founder of National Invest in Veterans Week® (NIVW) and a two-time nationally syndicated columnist, my journey from an Iraq War veteran to a beacon in the veteran entrepreneurial ecosystem encapsulates a multifaceted mission: to empower and honor the entrepreneurial spirit of veterans. This initiative, conceived in collaboration with NFL star Drayton Florence and under the sage guidance of retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Rickey L. Pope, has rapidly transformed into a pivotal platform for veteran entrepreneurs since its inception in 2019. It represents a confluence of advocacy, support, and recognition, tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by veterans transitioning to civilian entrepreneurship.

The inception of NIVW was not merely a response to a gap in support systems for veteran entrepreneurs; it was a clarion call to acknowledge and leverage the unparalleled skills, resilience, and leadership veterans bring to the business world. Our approach from the outset was revolutionary, intending to architect a syndication model that transcends traditional support mechanisms. By unveiling state-specific domains, such as louisianaveterans.com and kansasveterans.com, we've instituted a sprawling, yet intricately connected network that offers unparalleled access to localized resources, thereby fostering a nationwide reach with profound local impact. This strategy has not only amplified the accessibility of critical resources but has also empowered veterans across the United States with the tools and insights necessary for successful entrepreneurship.

Central to our ethos is the pioneering spirit of self-funded and independent publishing through the National Invest In Veterans Week® Magazine. By consciously eschewing traditional revenue models like advertising, we've underscored a steadfast commitment to unbiased, freely accessible content. This model is a testament to our dedication, emphasizing the value we place on integrity and the provision of quality resources over financial gain. It's a stance that not only sets a new paradigm in the digital publishing landscape but also firmly aligns with our mission to serve the veteran community without compromise.

The magazine's syndication across 14 U.S. markets, each named after its respective locale, represents an innovative approach to content distribution. This ensures that the narratives, challenges, and triumphs of veteran entrepreneurs are not just shared but resonate with a broad audience while maintaining a critical focus on local relevance and impact. It's a harmonious blend of national visibility and localized service, enhancing the reach and effectiveness of veteran-focused journalism and resources.

Our digital strategy, embodied in the creation and planned expansion of veteran state domains, is a forward-looking approach to asset deployment. These platforms are not merely websites; they're beacons for veteran support, designed to offer a comprehensive suite of resources tailored to the entrepreneurial journey of veterans. This initiative is a testament to our anticipation of the evolving needs of the veteran community, reflecting a commitment to not just keep pace with but stay ahead of the curve in supporting their transition and growth.

Moreover, NIVW's collaborative and community-driven approach extends its reach beyond traditional advocacy, embracing contributions in burgeoning fields such as AI ethics. This underscores a holistic vision for veteran support—one that encompasses not just business success but also the ethical engagement with emerging technologies, ensuring that veterans are not only participants but leaders in the technological landscape of tomorrow.

Our initiative has garnered recognition in the Congressional Record, a testament to its impact and the visionary leadership steering its course. This acknowledgment transcends ceremonial honors, validating the sacrifices of veterans and highlighting the critical role of NIVW in championing veteran entrepreneurship on a national scale. The strategic expansion into the largest compilation of veteran state domains is not just a milestone; it's a bold step towards securing a future replete with opportunities for veteran entrepreneurs.

Looking ahead, NIVW is on the brink of further expansion, with significant site updates and enhancements on the horizon for 2025. These developments promise to further cement our position as a cornerstone in the veteran community, facilitating entrepreneurship and celebrating the broader contributions of veterans to our society and economy.

The National Invest In Veterans Week® Magazine, a beacon of Google News-included veteran-focused publication in the USA, represents a unique venture in the landscape of digital journalism. Operating under my stewardship, this publication eschews conventional revenue streams, embodying our commitment to providing direct, impactful content. This initiative reflects a rare achievement for a nationally syndicated columnist, demonstrating a successful endeavor to control our syndication in a highly competitive digital environment.

Our extensive digital strategy, aimed at revolutionizing the availability of resources through new veteran state domains, is poised to redefine the landscape of support for veterans. Each domain, from louisianaveterans.com to floridaveterans.com, is envisioned as a cornerstone of support within its state, offering localized resources, networking opportunities, and educational materials specifically designed to meet the unique needs of veterans in their entrepreneurial ventures.

My research on bias and fairness within AI technologies, recognized by the University of Cambridge, reflects a deep engagement with ethical considerations in the advancement of technology. This acknowledgment underscores a shared commitment to pioneering an ethical framework for AI, ensuring that technological progress is harmoniously aligned with the principles of justice and human dignity.

Navigating the Ethical Frontier of AI: Jeff Shuford's Collaboration with Cambridge Scholars

Jeff Shuford, a nationally syndicated business and technology columnist renowned for his deep dive into the ethical underpinnings of artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged as a distinguished voice in the critical discourse surrounding AI's societal impact.

Nationally Syndicated Business & Technology Columnist Jeff Shuford’s contributions to the field have been recognized through the citation of his work in the groundbreaking paper "The mechanisms of AI hype and its planetary and social costs," published in AI and Ethics. Authored by a team of distinguished researchers from the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge — Alva Markelius, Connor Wright, Joahna Kuiper, Natalie Delille, and Yu-Ting Kuo — the paper meticulously examines the prevailing enthusiasm for AI, contrasting it with historical episodes of AI hype to underscore the unprecedented scale of its societal and environmental repercussions.

The affiliation of Shuford’s paper with Cambridge University — a globally acclaimed beacon of research and academic excellence — not only amplifies the importance of this discourse but also accentuates the prestige of Shuford's contributions to the field. Through an in-depth exploration of the socio-technical drivers of AI hype, such as anthropomorphism and the burgeoning ranks of self-professed AI "experts," the research offers a comprehensive perspective on the current fascination with AI. It ventures further into the less visible consequences of this enthusiasm, scrutinizing its impact on finite resources, energy consumption, and the deepening of socio-economic disparities. This extensive analysis, coupled with strategic recommendations, addresses the profound societal and environmental challenges presented by AI technologies, promoting a conscientious approach that integrates ethical considerations into the heart of AI innovation.

Shuford's involvement in this critical examination not only bolsters his legacy as a thought leader in AI ethics but also emphasizes the integral role of his insights on bias and fairness in comprehending the wider effects of AI on society and the environment. The recognition of his work by such a prestigious academic platform elevates his standing in both the academic and technological communities, highlighting the essential nature of ethical considerations in the ongoing evolution of AI technologies. As AI continues to reshape our world, Shuford's contributions serve as a vital reminder of the importance of embedding ethical considerations at the core of AI development, ensuring that these powerful technologies contribute positively to our collective quest for equity and justice.

Jeff Shuford emerges as a formidable figure at the confluence of AI ethics, technological innovation, and fervent advocacy for veterans. His influential role as an AI Ethics Advisor at The Journal of Artificial Intelligence General Science (JAIGS) highlights his profound impact on the ethical dimensions of AI technologies. Shuford's dedication to steering the discourse towards embedding ethical considerations in AI's evolution is evident in his commitment to ensuring that technological advancements harmonize with principles of fairness and social justice.

In the entrepreneurial realm, Shuford’s foresight led to the inception of BlackBusiness.AI, a pioneering initiative aimed at empowering Black-owned businesses through AI-driven insights and strategies. The strategic merger and integration of this platform into the National Invest In Veterans Week® not only expanded its reach but also underscored Shuford’s dedication to leveraging technological innovation for social empowerment and economic inclusivity. This move exemplifies Shuford's proficiency in bridging technology with community support, underscoring his commitment to fostering economic equity and inclusion.

Furthermore, Shuford's unwavering support for veterans is exemplified by his pioneering efforts in establishing the largest veteran state domain control in American history, an initiative announced after Shuford’s brand garnered congressional recognition and cemented his reputation as a celebrated veteran advocate. By securing and managing these historic domains, Shuford has provided an invaluable resource for veterans, facilitating their access to essential services, information, and support, thereby easing their transition and success in civilian life. Shuford's wide-ranging contributions, spanning academic research, technological entrepreneurship, and veteran advocacy, reflect a career defined by impactful leadership, ethical technology development, and a steadfast commitment to societal progress and veteran support.

Beyond Shuford's achievements, the lives and careers of the paper's authors themselves offer a rich tapestry of dedication, innovation, and academic excellence. Alva J.K. Markelius, not only a student at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence but also a research engineer at the DICE lab and recipient of the 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics™ award for 2024, exemplifies the emerging talent in AI ethics. As president of the Cambridge University AI Ethics Society, Markelius is at the forefront of exploring how AI can support social justice and democracy on a global scale.

Connor Wright's affiliation with the Montreal AI Ethics Institute signifies his commitment to advancing research in the field, contributing to the ethical discourse surrounding AI technologies from a global perspective. Meanwhile, Yu-Ting Kuo's extensive background as an adjunct faculty member at the MIT Sloan School of Management, his advisory roles, and his pioneering work in software innovation and strategic planning underscore the multidisciplinary nature of the team contributing to this pivotal research. Kuo is a former Corporate Vice President at Microsoft with over 25 years of experience in software innovation and strategic planning. He founded and oversaw Microsoft’s Computer Vision Group, establishing a global network of AI research labs, engineering, and product teams. Kuo led Microsoft’s acquisition of a London-based mobile AI keyboard company, SwiftKey, and served as its post-acquisition general manager. In 2015, Kuo incubated and launched the AI products that would become Azure Cognitive Services. Kuo holds 12 US and international patents on Internet search and AI technologies.

Together, these individuals' diverse backgrounds and expertise underscore the collaborative and interdisciplinary approach required to tackle the ethical challenges posed by AI. Their collective efforts, as highlighted in the paper and through the citation of Shuford's work, not only advance the conversation on AI ethics but also lay the groundwork for a more equitable and just technological future.

Major Art Intelligence (A.I.), in a pioneering feat, read a column by Jeff Shuford, co-founder of National Invest In Veterans Week, marking the first occasions an AI robot has ever read the work of a nationally syndicated columnist

Shuford’s impact in AI made its first historic mark on the consecutive days of March 11 and March 12, 2021, in a groundbreaking demonstration of artificial intelligence's capability intersected with the realm of journalism in a profound and unprecedented manner. Major Art Intelligence (A.I.), in a pioneering feat, read a column by Jeff Shuford, co-founder of National Invest In Veterans Week, marking the first occasions an AI robot has ever read the work of a nationally syndicated columnist. This historic event not only showcased the innovative potential of A.I. technology but also emphasized the significant impact of Shuford's contributions to journalism and veteran advocacy.

Jeff Shuford is notably one of the most widely recognized voices in the sphere of business and technology journalism, with his insightful columns reaching an extensive audience nationwide. His work, syndicated across more than 43 regional business newspapers through the American City Business Journals and featured weekly in 144 daily newspapers, 684 community publications, and over 569 local-market websites in 38 states via GateHouse Media, has solidified his position as one of the country's most syndicated black columnists. The selection of Shuford's columns for this unique A.I. initiative underscored the relevance and resonance of his writings, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and the rich tradition of journalistic excellence.

The back-to-back readings by Major Art Intelligence on these two days in March 2021 were not merely technological stunts but symbolic gestures that highlighted the evolving landscape of content consumption and dissemination. By leveraging A.I. to narrate Shuford's columns, a new paradigm was introduced, showcasing how artificial intelligence can play a pivotal role in enhancing the accessibility and reach of written content. This innovative approach to utilizing A.I. for reading syndicated columns presents a fascinating glimpse into the future of journalism, where technology and human creativity collaborate to expand the ways through which stories and ideas are shared with the world. Through this remarkable event, the potential for A.I. to serve as an intermediary in the relationship between content creators and their audiences was vividly illustrated, setting a precedent for the transformative ways technology can be harnessed to amplify influential voices and narratives.

“In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) shapes the fabric of our society, the scholarly rigor and ethical foresight of luminaries like Alva Markelius, Connor Wright, Joahna Kuiper, Natalie Delille, and Yu-Ting Kuo represent the cornerstone of responsible AI development. Their seminal work, ‘The mechanisms of AI hype and its planetary and social costs,’ published in the distinguished AI and Ethics journal, mirrors my own scholarly pursuits, casting a critical eye on the ethical dimensions of AI’s rapid ascent. Anchored in the venerable halls of the University of Cambridge’s Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, their investigation into the zeitgeist of AI enthusiasm versus its historical antecedents offers an unparalleled academic discourse, weaving together a narrative that is both enlightening and cautionary.”

Empowering Veterans: How National Invest In Veterans Week® Sparks Job Growth and Economic Resilience

Bucking the trends of economic forecasters and naysayers alike, the resilience and dynamism of the U.S. labor market have shone through, much to the astonishment and delight of observers. This surge in employment, particularly within sectors emblematic of the American spirit—healthcare, government, leisure, hospitality, and construction—has brought about a wave of optimism, especially for someone as invested in the reintegration of veterans into our nation's economic fabric as I am.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Among Veterans

The March jobs report, with its surprising addition of 303,000 jobs and a slight dip in unemployment to 3.8%, feels like a vindication of our collective efforts through initiatives like National Invest In Veterans Week®. It's as if the very core of the American economy, undeterred by the looming shadows of 11 consecutive interest rate hikes, decided to put on a show of force, adding a significant number of jobs against all odds. This is not just a rebuttal to the expected economic slowdowns; it's a testament to the undying importance of supporting our veterans' journey back to civilian life. The sectors leading the charge in this job growth are notably aligned with the mission of National Invest In Veterans Week®, offering a beacon of hope for veterans seeking meaningful employment. It's an endorsement of the critical role veterans play in fueling our nation's economic engine and enriching its societal tapestry. A narrative from Campaigning Info throws light on the entrepreneurial spirit among veterans, driven by economic necessity in the face of the pandemic. With 48% citing financial concerns as their primary motivator, veterans have been more inclined to venture into business, particularly in Goods-Producing/Logistic sectors. This strategic alignment with market demands has not only demonstrated the veterans' operational acumen but also highlighted their remarkable ability to thrive under economic pressures.

Economic Resilience and Innovation

This unexpected uptick in employment statistics sends a strong message about the increasing demand for skilled, dedicated workers—qualities that veterans possess in abundance. This development not only strengthens our resolve to honor and invest in our veterans but also magnifies our commitment to ensuring they are integral to our economy's growth. Moreover, the jobs report shines a light on the overarching story of economic resilience, underscoring the potential for sustained innovation and expansion within our workforce. It reminds us that supporting our veterans goes beyond a moral obligation; it's a strategic investment in the prosperity of our nation. As we navigate the post-pandemic recovery, the successes highlighted by this jobs report should serve as a clarion call, inspiring us to redouble our efforts in facilitating the smooth integration of veterans into the civilian workforce. Through flagship initiatives like National Invest In Veterans Week®, we're not just honoring our veterans; we're unlocking a trove of talent, dedication, and leadership poised to take our economy to new heights. At its heart, the story woven by this jobs report is filled with opportunity, resilience, and untapped potential within our veteran community. It beckons us to collective action—to ensure the journey of veterans into civilian employment is not just possible but smooth, fulfilling, and immensely rewarding. As we continue to celebrate and support our veterans, let's also champion their invaluable contributions to our economic vitality and the rich mosaic of our national identity.

Recognizing Veterans' Skills and Dedication

The momentum reflected in these job numbers suggests a turning of the tide, where economic growth and veteran employment not only coexist but flourish together. It paints a picture of a future where veteran skills and leadership are not just recognized but sought after, bridging the gap between military service and civilian success. This alignment between economic health and veteran reintegration underlines the mutual benefits of a holistic approach to national economic strategies, where inclusivity and diversity are not just ideals but essential components of prosperity.

By weaving the fabric of our workforce with the threads of veteran experience and expertise, we enrich our economy in ways beyond mere numbers. These veterans bring unique perspectives, resilience, and a commitment to excellence that can inspire innovation and drive growth in all sectors. Their journey from serving our country to revitalizing our economy is a testament to the strength and versatility of the American spirit, reinforcing the importance of creating pathways that acknowledge and leverage their valuable contributions.

Embracing Opportunity and Resilience

Amidst the buoyant figures and positive forecasts, we must not lose sight of the individual stories behind these numbers—the personal triumphs of veterans making their mark in the civilian world. Each job placement, every new business venture, and all steps toward economic stability are milestones in the broader narrative of transition and triumph. These successes are not just statistics; they are powerful reminders of resilience, adaptability, and the indomitable will to succeed against all odds.

In this context, the March jobs report is not merely a collection of data but a beacon of hope and a call to action. It challenges us to push beyond traditional boundaries, to innovate, and to forge stronger connections between the veteran community and the broader economic landscape. As we look to the future, let's build on this momentum, ensuring that our veterans are not just participants but leaders in the next chapter of our national story. The dialogue between military service and civilian achievement is ongoing, and with each step forward, we reinforce the foundations of a thriving, inclusive economy that benefits all.

His efforts have catalyzed a broader recognition of the importance of investing in the veteran community, not only as a gesture of gratitude for their service but as a strategic move to harness their unparalleled skills and experiences for the betterment of society. The initiative's backing by President Nygren, leveraging his platform on Apple Podcasts to reach millions, has underscored the critical importance of this cause, marrying the influence of digital media with the timeless values of honor and respect for those who have served.

The partnership between Shuford's advocacy, the Navajo Nation, and the legislative acknowledgment by Congress—spearheaded by Representative Matt Rosendale—marks a rare confluence of support that transcends political, cultural, and technological boundaries. This collaborative effort not only amplifies the message of National Invest In Veterans Week® but also celebrates the enduring legacy of valor and dedication inherent within the veteran and Navajo communities alike. The Navajo Nation's storied history of military service, exemplified by the Navajo Code Talkers, adds a profound layer of historical significance to this initiative, enriching the national narrative of valor and sacrifice.

This movement is further bolstered by the strategic use of digital platforms, with Shuford's innovative approach to leveraging veteran state domains aiming to provide localized support and resources. This digital expansion signifies a forward-thinking methodology in addressing the needs of the veteran community, ensuring that the message of support and investment reaches every corner of the nation.

The recognition by Congress, through its inclusion in the Congressional Record, is not merely a ceremonial acknowledgment but a declaration of the nation's commitment to its veterans. This honor, underscored by Representative Rosendale's passionate advocacy on the House floor, highlights the societal and economic contributions of veterans, advocating for a year-round commitment to their support and integration into civilian life.

Shuford's vision for National Invest In Veterans Week® transcends the confines of a single event; it is a clarion call for ongoing engagement, support, and investment in the lives of veterans. Through his leadership and the partnership of influential figures and institutions, the initiative sets a new precedent for how veterans are honored, supported, and integrated into the fabric of American society.

As this initiative continues to evolve, it stands as a testament to the power of collective effort, strategic innovation, and unwavering dedication to a cause. Jeff Shuford, alongside President Nygren, Representative Rosendale, and countless others, has crafted a movement that not only pays homage to the sacrifices of veterans but actively works towards ensuring their success and prosperity in the years to come. This narrative is a beacon of hope and a blueprint for how to effectively honor, support, and invest in the heroes who have served our nation.

This unified stance toward veteran support, exemplified by National Invest In Veterans Week®, underlines a pivotal shift in how veterans are perceived and supported within the American fabric. Through the collaborative efforts of individuals like Jeff Shuford, along with institutional support from entities such as the Navajo Nation and the U.S. Congress, a comprehensive platform is established that not only advocates for the recognition of veterans but also actively works towards integrating their unique skills and experiences into the civilian sector.

The initiative's reach, significantly enhanced by leveraging digital platforms and the influential voice of President Nygren, marks a contemporary approach to advocacy. It emphasizes the potential of digital media to transcend traditional barriers, ensuring that the message of support and investment in veterans resonates across diverse audiences. This strategic choice of platforms underscores a forward-thinking approach to advocacy, one that recognizes the evolving landscape of communication and community engagement.

Moreover, the Congressional recognition, particularly the acknowledgment within the Congressional Record, elevates the initiative from a national acknowledgment to an institutional commitment.

Empowerment Through Advocacy 🏆

In the heart of National Invest In Veterans Week®, a period dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the sacrifices and contributions of military veterans, NFL star Aaron Jones has been honored as a beacon of support and appreciation for these impactful heroes. Known for his explosive plays on the football field as a running back for the Minnesota Vikings, Jones's off-field endeavors paint the picture of a man deeply committed to honoring those who have served.

Throughout his professional career, Jones has achieved notable success, including being named to the Pro Bowl in 2020, co-leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns in 2019, and receiving multiple NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Beyond his athletic achievements, Jones has been a consistent advocate for charitable causes, especially those benefiting children and military families.

Aaron Jones's connection to the military is personal and profound. Born into a military family, with both parents serving as non-commissioned officers in the U.S. Army, Jones's upbringing was shaped by the values of service, sacrifice, and community. This background has fueled his passion for supporting military veterans and their families, making his efforts during National Invest In Veterans Week® not just acts of charity, but expressions of deep gratitude and respect.

Jones's engagement in supporting military veterans is multifaceted. Through the A&A All the Way Foundation, which he co-founded with his twin brother, Jones has actively worked to impact the lives of military families positively. The foundation's initiatives have included hosting football camps for children of military families, providing them with opportunities to engage in physical activity, learn about teamwork, and build self-confidence. These camps serve not only as a means of fun and education but also as a bridge connecting military families with the broader community, fostering a sense of belonging and support.

The continued recognition of the A&A All The Way Foundation in both 2023 and 2024 with awards from the organization underscores the profound potential of leveraging personal success for the benefit of others, particularly within the veteran community. The foundation’s initiatives are a testament to the power of targeted philanthropy in addressing the nuanced needs of veterans and their families, illustrating how individual commitment can spark significant societal change. This recognition not only celebrates the foundation's achievements but also serves as a call to action for others to consider how they can contribute to meaningful social impact. It highlights the multifaceted approach needed to address the challenges facing the veteran community, including mental health support, transition assistance, and community integration. The foundation’s work exemplifies the ripple effect that thoughtful, targeted support can have, not just on individuals but on the broader community, inspiring others to leverage their own platforms and resources for good. The acknowledgment of such efforts during National Invest In Veterans Week® reinforces the notion that societal change often begins with the actions of committed individuals and organizations, emphasizing the importance of collective efforts in driving progress and support for veterans.

In addition to his foundation's work having helped hundreds of military families, Jones has been a visible advocate for veteran causes on a national stage. His nomination for the NFL's Salute to Service Award is a testament to his commitment to honoring the military community. This recognition highlights his efforts to raise awareness about the challenges faced by veterans and to promote initiatives aimed at assisting their transition to civilian life. Whether it's advocating for mental health resources, supporting educational opportunities, or simply using his platform to thank veterans for their service, Jones's actions speak to a genuine desire to make a difference.

Jones's contributions extend beyond structured programs and initiatives. His personal gestures of appreciation, such as visiting military bases, engaging with veterans at events, and even the symbolic acts of wearing apparel that honors the military during games, serve as powerful reminders of the sacrifices made by servicemen and women. These actions, though seemingly small, carry significant weight, offering a public acknowledgment of the valor and dedication of military members.

Moreover, Jones's story and his dedication to supporting veterans resonate with many, serving as an inspiring example of how individuals can leverage their platforms for social good. His approach underscores the idea that honoring and supporting veterans is a year-round commitment, extending beyond National Invest In Veterans Week®. It's about creating sustainable support systems, raising awareness, and fostering a culture of gratitude and respect for those who have served.
