Episode 17 — The Long Game with Beth Scarano

23 minutes

In this episode of Wisdom in Wealth, host Stephanie Fogelson sits down with Beth Scarano, founder of LaunchPM, and seasoned construction management leader whose career spans engineering, large general contractors, and ultimately, entrepreneurship.

Beth shares her unconventional path into construction — one built over decades, not overnight. From working inside a structural engineering firm (literally starting in a closet), to managing massive construction projects, to founding her own firm at 50, Beth’s story is a masterclass in patience, confidence and earned leadership.

Stephanie and Beth dive into:

Why construction management exists and the “missing layer” it fills

How experience across engineering, general contractor work, and project delivery shaped her leadership style

The reality of starting a company later in life and why timing matters

What it means to manage projects holistically, not just contractually

Building trust with physician-led clients who can’t afford costly mistakes

Letting go as a founder and learning to lead through others

Why integrity, communication and doing what you say still win

This conversation explores the parallels between leadership, motherhood and project management, and why the best outcomes come from people willing to see the whole picture, not just their piece of it. Tune in for a candid discussion on earned confidence, thoughtful growth, and building something that lasts.
