AI & Legal w/ Sarah Waldbuesser

AI might feel like a magic wand for your business — spitting out contracts, naming your next offer, generating “done-for-you” content in seconds. But what if the tool that’s saving you time is quietly putting your business at risk?

In this episode, I’m joined by attorney and online business legal expert Sarah Waldbuesser for a real-talk conversation about the legal side of AI. From copyright laws that haven’t caught up to the tech, to the risks of relying on ChatGPT to write your contracts, we’re diving into what business owners actually need to know in 2025 — and how to keep your business protected without panic (or spending $5K at a local law firm).

You’ll learn:

• Exactly how using AI to write contracts or course content could leave you legally unprotected
• What happened when Sarah asked ChatGPT if non-lawyers should trust the contracts it creates(and its surprisingly honest answer) 
• The real deal with copyright and trademark law when it comes to AI-generated work
• How to think about risk in your business, especially if you’re in your first few years and still growing
• Sarah’s philosophy on legal issues in business — and why she says it’s a matter of when, not if

If you’ve been tempted to let AI handle the legal stuff so you can check it off your to-do list — this episode is your reminder to slow down. You don’t need to be scared of the legal side of business, but you do need to understand it. Hit play and protect your business like the real business it is.
