Quotes from This Episode

"You don't get burned out from the science. You get burned out from applying it in a way that doesn't let you up."
"I think we're conditioned to believe we have to have a full plan and a career built out before we start dabbling and exploring."
"If an RBT can teach something to a business owner outside of our industry, then why can't a BCBA, with all of this foundational knowledge, learn a framework, start getting applied practice, and get really good at it?"
"I don't care about your burnout if you're not making decisions that guide you toward a different path."
"You have to be a few steps ahead of people. And to be honest, if you want to work in another industry, a lot of business owners don't even understand the concept of reinforcement."
"Money is the currency for freedom. Whether people like that or not, that's okay, but it is."
