In Netflix’s social-experiment reality show ‘The New Stanford Prison Experiment,’ 30 volunteers find themselves in a real prison in Georgia, where they are assigned as guards and inmates. With eight guards asserting a set of rules over the inmates, it causes a rift and divide among all the participants. One of the assigned guards in season 1 was Laura Berens, who was elected as the head guard in the later stages of the social experiment.
Laura Berens Has Sold Her Business and Switched to Another Company
Hailing from Milbank, South Dakota, Laura Berens was raised in a seemingly loving household. From an early age, she became a passionate athlete and focused on her fitness. However, during her high school years, Laura got into music and dancing. To follow her passion and pursue a career in singing, she also reportedly relocated to Los Angeles, California, in 2003 and attended a music school. After spending more than eight years in the music industry, she realized that music was not her true calling. She focused on working out and also competed in a few NPC bodybuilding competitions. In 2011, she became a certified personal trainer, after which she earned a Corporate Wellness Coach Certification from Spencer’s Business Institute in 2014.
By then, the Santa Monica College and the University of Minnesota graduate had worked in multiple businesses in different capacities, including The King Klong Music Group as the Vice President of Operations, Aureus Entertainment as the General Manager, and Music Sales Group as a Sales Director. From August 2011 to May 2015, Laura was employed at Getty Images, where she began as the Business Development Sales Manager and moved up the ranks to become the Senior Manager of New Business Acquisition & Strategic Partnerships. For the following two years, she worked as a Senior Business Development Manager at Jawbone. In between, she founded her own business called Love and Fit in September 2016, beginning her entrepreneurial journey. Laura also became an Advisory Board Member of TeleSesh between November 2024 and September 2025.
After a wonderful decade of entrepreneurship and building her business from the ground up, she officially passed Love and Fit to new owners. She announced the same on her social media account and expressed her gratitude to every person who purchased her products. She ended by saying, “I’m incredibly proud of what I built, grateful for every person who was part of it, and excited to see what comes next — both for Love & Fit and for me.” That same month, she switched to ALVANON, where she has been working as the Regional Director. While handling her business, she also served as a Business and Product Development Coach, helping other women entrepreneurs strategize and sell their businesses through social media and other online platforms. On the side, she also hosts a podcast titled ‘Time To Be You.”
