None specified with dates; conversation was an interview without operational tasks.

Layla described her recent shift in content strategy, moving away from high-production, rigid systems (modeled after Alex’s) to a more flexible, sustainable approach tailored to her CEO responsibilities.
She realized the need to adapt content production to her own workflow and energy levels, rather than fitting into someone else's structure.
Layla emphasized the significance of self-awareness and recognizing the current "season" of life to dictate strategy.
Authenticity and enjoyment in content creation are crucial for long-term sustainability and better audience engagement.
Since changing to a more candid, "behind-the-scenes" style, she feels her content is both more authentic and more successful.

Layla discussed the importance of engineering an environment that supports motivation—removing suppressive influences first, rather than seeking additional motivators.
Achieving goals becomes easier when environmental and personal constraints are addressed and removed.
She recommended focusing on configuring surroundings—people, spaces, routines—to maximize discretionary effort and personal drive.

Layla sees her core strength as developing, supporting, and encouraging others, aiming for collective rather than solo success.
She highlighted the importance of mutual value exchange between herself and employees, and between acquisition.com and portfolio companies.
Talent management and culture are “soft” factors but are ultimately decisive for long-term business viability.
For solopreneurs, Layla acknowledged the challenges and trade-offs of growing a team, mentioning the steep learning curve and need for persistence.
She reflected on early mistakes in team management—swinging between micromanagement and too much autonomy—and stressed a balanced, clarity-driven approach to leadership.

Layla shared insights on maintaining a healthy marriage while co-running a business with her husband, Alex.
They prioritize what works uniquely for them, disregarding generalized advice if it doesn't fit their preferences.
Both are comfortable blurring work and personal boundaries because both enjoy talking about work, emphasizing individualized balance rather than prescriptive rules.
Their dynamic is built on creating an environment where both can fully be themselves, with mutual commitment and minimal expectations of the other.

Layla’s guiding principle: “Leave everyone and every place better than you found it,” applying this in all interactions, workplaces, and projects.

Layla and Alex’s new book, "100 Million Dollar Leads," is now available at acquisition.com/books and other platforms.
Their authentic, value-driven content is recommended for those interested in business growth.

Layla shifted her content strategy to a more authentic, sustainable model — motivated by self-awareness, operational demands as CEO, and the desire to produce higher-quality content aligned with her strengths.
