Description
Hey Y'all!! The eXperiment podcast is just that – an experiment. My whole life I’ve felt like people try to put you in a box. I’m sooooo an outside the box person, who oddly relishes her rituals in life. But, my previous podcast was more about stories of living excellence in your daily life. A bit too woo woo for even me, if I’m honest. This eXperiment podcast is about life and business. Yes, it will cover REAL ESTATE because real estate affects all of our lives each and every day. We have to have shelter. It will also cover WELLNESS because if you don’t have your health, it don’t matter where you live. And it will cover ENTREPRENEURSHIP – because we truly are the backbone of this country. It takes so much courage and aversion to risk to step out and create a platform that doesn’t currently exist – hope and pray that someone will believe in you and invest in what you’re doing.
This culture is thankfully coming out of it’s fog that it’s been living in for too long. We chased the Kardashian life – hmmm, that’s interesting, this is their last season. Don’t think that’s coincidental. Bottom line, it’s about sharing the truth of the journey that it takes to get up every day and support yourself as an entrepreneur. What I know that I know is ALL of us have a dream and a vision for our life and sometimes you just need to hear from someone that you don’t know that you have permission to step out of the box that society has created that isn’t real and doesn’t work. So, the journey, the wins and the falling downs WILL be exposed on this podcast. By me and by the people who honor me with their time and allow me to interview them. www.theexperimentpodcast.com Can't wait to get to know you!! Laura www.lauradoughty.com

After a summer pause, I’m back with a message every woman in real estate needs to hear. The truth? The status quo that agents have accepted for decades — scripts, volume chasing, burnout — never worked. It didn’t work for me, which is why in 2009 I built an entirely new model that thrived when the industry was collapsing.
And now, with AI transforming the way we do business, it’s even more critical to evolve beyond “agent” status. Data and reels can only get you so far. Clients want humans — trusted advisors who bring influence, stability, and true wealth-building opportunities to their lives.
In this episode, I share:
Why the agent model is broken — and the Advisor model is the future.
How AI is shifting the landscape (and where humans still win).
Client success stories: from $7M → $100M, $0 → $15M, and 4x growth in a down market.
Why Q4 is the most important time to set your 2025 in motion.
And I’ll introduce you to The Legacy Agent Collective — a 6-month, women-only experience designed to help you step into your role as a true Legacy Advisor. With only 15 spots (1 agent per state), doors close September 20th.
If you’re ready to evolve, scale, and step into influence, wealth, and impact — this is your invitation.

In this heartwarming episode, I’m excited to announce the launch of my brand new children’s book, LaLa and Her Circle of Love: Stories of Faith and Friendship! This isn’t just any children’s book—it's a collection of real-life stories inspired by the animals who have shaped my life. Each story is filled with lessons of love, resilience, and faith, all told through the eyes of LaLa and her circle of furry and feathered friends.
And there’s more! It’s not just a storybook—it’s also a coloring book! I created it this way because coloring was my way of feeling normal as a child, especially during tough times. I wanted to offer children that same space for creativity and self-expression.
In this episode, I dive into why I wrote the book, what lessons kids (and adults) can learn from it, and how animals have been my greatest teachers. Whether it’s the story of Brownie the pony, Jasmine Leo the mysterious black cat, or BuLee the brave bulldog mix, each animal brings a unique lesson about life, love, and faith.
Episode Highlights:
Why I wrote LaLa and Her Circle of Love and how my personal journey inspired it.
The incredible lessons these animals taught me about love, loyalty, and resilience.
Why I chose to include coloring pages, and how coloring helped me feel "normal" as a child.
What makes this book different from typical children’s books—it’s not just for kids, but for anyone who believes in the power of love and the beauty of every living thing.
Key Takeaways:
Animals can be our greatest teachers, offering unconditional love and healing when we need it most.
Don’t judge by appearance—love and loyalty come in all shapes and sizes, as shown by my dogs Stella and Thomas.
Even when love lasts a short time, it can leave a lasting impact, as seen through BuLee’s journey of healing.
Creativity is a powerful way for children to process emotions, and that’s why I included coloring pages in this book.
Get Your Copy Today!LaLa and Her Circle of Love is now available on Amazon! Click the link to grab your copy: LaLa and Her Circle of Love on Amazon.
ALL proceeds are donated to local animal shelters and a select few adoption organizations.
I hope this book touches your heart as much as these animals have touched mine. Be sure to share your coloring creations with me on Instagram and tag me—I can’t wait to see what you and your little ones create!

Thank you for tuning in! Until next time, keep experimenting with love, creativity, and faith in your own life.
In this powerful episode of The eXperiment Podcast, we dive into a topic that every entrepreneur and business owner must master if they want to succeed: clarity in branding.

Whether you’re struggling to attract the right clients or feel like your message isn’t landing the way it should, this episode will help you take a step back and evaluate if your brand has the clarity it needs to thrive in today’s competitive market.
Key Takeaways:
