Stonebridge Partners HR

Stonebridge Partners is a small business built to serve small businesses. Our focus is simple — provide smarter, fairer solutions for benefits, staffing, and payroll, while keeping people and relationships at the center of everything we do. We understand the challenges owners face because we face them too — and that’s exactly why we care a little more, respond a little faster, and always put integrity before profit.

CEO Stonebridge Partners. Simple guidance for complex humans.

After two decades in big and small business — managing billions, scaling startups, and chasing someone else’s definition of success — I realized what was missing: purpose.

In 2019, I co-founded Stonebridge Partners to do things differently. We help small businesses cut through the noise of overpriced benefits, complex payroll systems, and the staffing chaos that never seems to end.

Our mission is simple:
Build real partnerships. Craft smarter solutions. Keep business human.

Because at Stonebridge, we believe small businesses deserve big-league support — without the big-business nonsense.

I share what we’re learning (and unlearning) here on LinkedIn — join me, and let’s build something better together.

I am only a DM away. And you are inching closer to better services from someone who knows and understands the challenges of small business.

Health Writer

🔴 Health-sector founders who fail to do this by 2030 risk losing business (and credibility):

As AI content explodes, audiences will be more reluctant to follow faceless, company-led social media accounts and email lists they doubt are run by real humans. Read any marketing report and you'll see the trend - people want authenticity, personality, and trust.

This is even more essential in sensitive fields like health and wellbeing.

Founders who nurture their personal media platforms won’t regret it. Here's why (and how):

People don't follow companies, they follow "tribe leaders." It's wired into our DNA.

Just like you lead with your vision and team management, you can lead with your media.

📈 Scale your personal media over the next 3-5 years and you'll have an enormous advantage. 

95% of health-sector founders haven't doubled down on this (yet) so it's one of the easiest ways to position yourself as the most helpful, relatable, and trustworthy individual in your niche.

The traffic you attract through your personal media will also funnel into your company's growth.

Share insights, wins/challenges, opinions, goals, and real-life experiences.

This is a more logical long-term play than solely publishing through company accounts.

It's also a backup. If your business ever loses traction, you still have a hub of followers interested in whatever you create next. As Kevin Kelly says: build your 1,000 true fans.

- Writing e.g. LinkedIn, X, newsletters
- Audio or video e.g. YouTube, podcasts

Publishing on 2-3 media platforms (without feeling overwhelmed) is ideal.

You don't need to grow to Adam Grant or Joe Wicks levels. Even scaling your socials to 5-10k followers and email list to a thousand subscribers can be a game-changer.

The only problem: building your personal media platforms is a part-time job. So what are your options?
