AI Advisory for Small Business Owners

AI doesn't have to be scary. Let's make it work for your business.

I'm Thomas Stone. I help small business owners cut through the AI hype, skip the overwhelm, and start using the tools that actually move your business forward. No jargon. No pressure. Just a steady guide who knows how to make hard things feel simple.

You're not behind. You just need a guide.

If AI makes you nervous, you're in good company.

A lot of business owners I talk to feel like AI is moving fast and leaving them behind. It can feel like one more thing you're supposed to already understand. Here's the truth: you don't need to become a tech expert. You need someone you trust to show you what actually matters and walk through it with you. That's the whole job. I take the fear off your plate so you can run your business with confidence.

What I Offer

Three ways we can work together

Start wherever you are. We can go from a single talk to building something custom for your business.

01

Talks & Trainings

Want your team to actually get AI? I give talks and run hands-on trainings that cut through the noise. Your people walk out knowing what today's tools can do, which ones matter for your work, and how to start using them, without the hype or the fear.

02

1:1 Coaching

Sometimes you just need someone in your corner. We meet one-on-one and work through the tools at your pace, on your real tasks. By the end, AI stops feeling like a threat and starts feeling like a teammate.

03

Done-for-You Workflows

Have a process that eats up your time? Tell me where the bottleneck is and I'll build an AI-powered workflow that handles it, then show you how to run it yourself. You get the time back, and you keep the control.

Every business is different, so pricing scales with the scope and time involved. The best next step is a quick call so we can find what fits.

About Thomas

I've spent my career guiding people through change.

Before StonePath, I led teams through high-stakes, high-pressure change as a nuclear submarine officer in the U.S. Navy, where I was named Junior Officer of the Year. The technology was complicated. My real job was keeping people calm, clear, and confident. That's still my real job today.

I'm currently earning my MBA at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Along the way I interned in consulting with McKinsey & Company, and I'm now interning with Chevron, one of the largest companies in the world, helping identify where AI can strengthen its finance operations. I bring that same rigor to your business, and the same belief that new technology should make your life easier, not scarier.
