In this special CalABA edition of The Gold Standard Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Shelby Dorsy—behavior analyst, entrepreneur, and founder of The SD Store. Shelby brings us on a bold, hilarious, and deeply personal journey, from navigating teen pregnancy in rural Texas to becoming a viral voice on Twitter and a leader in the ABA world.

She shares how social media became a powerful communication tool as an autistic person, how she built a brand and family in the public eye, and the unique challenges and rewards of raising neurodivergent children in a digital age. Whether you're here for the MySpace nostalgia or the unapologetic take on identity, duality, and behavioral science, this episode is one you won’t forget.


Brett DiNovi & Associates & all subsidiaries deploy consultants across more than 300 schools/organizations using applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles to help people, from students with developmental disabilities to coaching leaders of industries worldwide.
