In this powerful episode of Enterprise Confessional, Shantell Vanterpool, Founder of The Autism Lab and creator of The LAB Method™, joins Deshea to discuss what it means to build a purpose-driven business that doesn’t just raise awareness — it creates systems that last.

With a background in education and advocacy, Shantell shares how witnessing gaps in the special education system inspired her to design a framework that bridges home, school, and community support for children with autism.

We explore the dismantling of traditional education structures, the evolution of intelligence in today’s world, and the courage it takes to turn lived experience into legacy work.

This isn’t just a conversation about advocacy — it’s about architecture: building movements, not moments.
