According to Bridge to Better Business Speakers
Bridge to Better Business connects business owners across the Charleston region with practical expertise on the topics that shape how they work, from employment law to AI. Speakers from across the series were asked to name one resource every business owner should have, and their answers are worth bookmarking. Here’s where to find each one:
Cherie Blackburn, Saxton & Stump
Department of Labor fact sheets and EEOC guidance
Cherie points to a couple of resources from federal agencies. The Department of Labor has fact sheets you can refer to, and the EEOC puts out guidance on particular topics. They aren’t laws, but they’re a good reference for employers to use.

Whitney Whitlock, WeThrive HR
Simon Sinek
Whitney recommends Simon Sinek, who is great with leadership, with people and with understanding the why behind an organization and why you do the things you do. She suggests looking at any of his resources, podcasts and videos.
Jessica Munday, Trio Solutions
Ethan King
For AI, Jessica recommends her good friend Ethan King, who describes very technical topics in layman’s terms. “I cannot recommend him enough,” she says. He has some incredible books out, and you can find him on Instagram at @ethanking.co and on LinkedIn at Ethan King.
Barbara Bonnette, Joint Base Lindsey Graham
SAM.gov
Barbara recommends SAM.gov. That’s where Joint Base Lindsey Graham, along with the rest of the federal government, posts the requirements you can then solicit for.
