The Power of OPE: Bethany LaFlam’s Leap from Litigation Grind to Capital-Raising Guide
In this episode of Beyond the Leap, host Brenda Jones sits down with Bethany LaFlam—CEO & Securities Attorney at Premier Law Group, founder of the Conscious Capital Community (C³), and author of The Power of OPE. Bethany reveals how walking away from 2,200 billable hours and an L.A. commute led her to champion Other People’s Everything as the sanest path to scalable wealth.
Together, Brenda and Bethany unpack:
- Billable-Hour Breakout – quitting a “dream” big-law job (with zero backup plan) to launch her own firm overnight.
- OPE Framework – leveraging other people’s money, expertise, credibility, and connections to grow fast without burnout.
- Legal Guardrails 101 – 506(b) vs 506(c) made simple, and why “pay-to-raise” without real duties invites SEC heat.
- Partner-Vet Playbook – three pre-raise musts: align roles, lock advisors early, document everything—even with family.
- Mindset & Maintenance – weekly breath-work, fitness, and “white-space” sessions that ignite million-dollar ideas.
If you’re ready to scale safely—and ditch the grind for a life you actually love—hit play, take notes, and start tapping Other People’s Everything today.
