Weekly Live Business Q&A Replay

October 27, 2026

In this week’s Weekly Live Q&A, Libby DeLucien and Aaron Coleman tackle one of the hardest parts of growing a business: outgrowing the people around you. Libby introduces the idea of matriarchal versus patriarchal leadership styles and explains why many business owners, especially women, feel torn between loyalty to early team members and the demands of a growing company. She walks through a simple framework for evaluating whether someone is still the right fit, looking at role, capability, willingness to grow, and overall fit, and makes the point that true loyalty sometimes means having a hard conversation rather than keeping someone in a role where they can’t succeed.

Aaron adds real examples from his own business, including an employee who excelled in every area except the one tied directly to the company’s reputation. Libby and Chris also open up about a recent moment inside their own leadership team, where an honest conversation about capacity led to a better fit for everyone involved. Watch the full replay to hear the complete discussion and the practical steps for applying it in your own business.
