Other People’s Everything: Scaling Your STR Empire Without Burnout with Bethany LaFlam
12 Nov 2025
On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Bethany LaFlam, a “recovering attorney,” community architect, and author of The Power of OPE. Bethany and Avery dive into what it really means to stay in your lane, leveraging “other people’s everything” (money, time, assets, skills) so you can scale without burning out. They break down how to safely and legally use other people’s money in syndications, why true operators—not just capital raisers—are the ones who last, and the dangers of growing too fast without experience or infrastructure. Bethany also shares how transparent communication with investors during tough seasons can build trust, and how offloading work outside her lane transformed both her business and her life.
