#12 - Scaling Your Business Doesn’t Have to Suck with Bethany LeFlam
Thu Feb 05 2026
In this episode, host Blake Mohseni sits down with powerhouse attorney, real estate investor, and bestselling author Bethany LaFlam, to unpack the brutally common and brutally invisible truth behind scaling: it doesn’t have to suck.
Bethany built a wildly successful legal practice, helped countless entrepreneurs grow through real estate, and played the traditional “grind to the top” game until she realized the cost was everything. Burnout. Exhaustion. Loss of joy.
In this candid conversation, she shares the exact process she used to rewrite her definition of success, regain control of her time and energy, and scale even bigger without sacrificing her life in the process.
If you're a founder, executive, service business owner, coach, or investor scaling and secretly wondering why growth feels harder than it should, this episode is a must-listen.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why “working harder” is not a sustainable strategy
The “OPE” Framework: Other People’s Everything
The Time and Energy Audit
How to ask for help without shame
Reclaiming your “ideal life” vision
Key topics discussed:
The burnout-success paradox most founders ignore
How societal definitions of success keep entrepreneurs stuck
Micro-moments that triggered Bethany’s transformation
Why your brain resists delegation — and how to fix it
Building the Conscious Capital Collective
Why scaling with ease is not soft — it’s smart
The myth of suffering equals success
Real estate investing and wealth building with joy
