Weekly Live Business Q&A Replay

March 03, 2026

This week's Weekly Live Q&A opens with a few practical LAYA updates, including fixed spreadsheet and Excel uploads, resolved bulk upload issues, and a fully loaded 1LDOS system covering every stage of business growth. Libby and Chris then move into two topics business owners ask about often: whether AI use is responsible from an energy standpoint, and whether AI tools are safe when it comes to sensitive business data. They explain how information uploaded into LAYA is scrubbed of identifying details like phone numbers and company names, and how the platform is built to prevent competitors from accessing anyone's actual content.

The second half shifts into a candid discussion on training and team development, where Libby shares a costly early mistake of buying courses her team never used. The takeaway is to start small, ask employees what skills they actually want to build, and use their answers as a gauge of real interest before investing in bigger training. Chris adds a useful self-check: would you buy this course for yourself? The conversation closes with a reminder that fear of competitors or new tools tends to slow business owners down more than the tools themselves ever would. Watch the replay for the full breakdown.
