Rush Hour, Real Talk: First-Timers, Big Keynotes & Playlists for Hard Days A carpool conversation on why the BMBA Summit feels like a community, not a conference
🚗 Six behavior analysts. One car. Friday rush hour. Zero filter.
The Keynote Carpool is officially a TRADITION. 🎉 For the second year in a row, we piled into the car at the BMBA Summit with BCBAs, a behavior technician, and a supervisor to talk about what stuck with us. Highlights include a masking workshop that made people write on actual masks, a keynote that had everyone inspired, and a live reading of a love poem (receipts included). 💌
Along the way we hear from first-timers who feel like sponges soaking up the whole conference, and we get a very fun detour into what sponges actually do. 🧽 There's also a stop for a 90s music-industry story you have to hear from the source, and it ends with the exit question: what's the one song that makes a hard day better? 🎶
This is the unpolished, "we're literally driving" side of the field: community, self-care, and the people who make a conference feel like home. Turn it up, buckle in, and pull up a seat. 🛋️

From Protecting Quarterbacks to Protecting ABA Clinics Why a former offensive lineman builds financial support for clinic owners
🏈💼 What does an offensive lineman have in common with an ABA clinic owner? Both are trying to keep someone from getting blindsided. At the BMBA Summit, we sat down with the founder of Bounce Back Financial, who helps ABA clinic owners connect their billing, accounting, and CFO advisory so the money side doesn't fall apart. We get into why he chose this field over bigger-margin industries (it's personal 💛), what he sees when clinics run into cash-flow trouble, and why the name "Bounce Back" fits the story behind the company.Then we talk about what we all wish grad school covered: running the business. 🧾 Why delegation and succession planning separate the clinics that last, why Medicaid rules change so much from state to state, what a prepayment audit can put at risk, and how to find a partner who shows up when things get messy.And because it's us, we also talk about what it felt like to be welcomed into the BMBA community as a non-behavior analyst, why representation matters, and a very serious debate about LA versus DC. 🎢 (Our spare room is still open.)If you own a clinic, dream of owning one, or want to know what happens after the session notes… pull up a seat. 🛋️🔑 IN THIS EPISODE- Why billing, accounting, and CFO support work better when they talk to each other- Why delegation and succession planning matter as a clinic grows- How state Medicaid differences affect clinic owners- What a prepayment audit can put at risk, and why documentation matters- Why community and representation matter in this field⏱️ CHAPTERS0:00 – Meet the Founder of Bounce Back Financial 🎙️0:36 – Who Are You?

From Pre-Med to BCBA: The Clinic Tour That Changed Everything
🎙️ What happens when a pre-med hopeful takes a "why not?" tour of an ABA clinic… and never leaves?
Recorded live at the BMBA Summit, we sit down with BCBA A'Daunte Bivens of Savannah, Georgia. He went from biology and exercise sports science to ABA, and now he's looking at sports, precision teaching, OBM, and even music. 🎹 Our take: the science was never about autism. It's the science of human behavior. 🌍
We also get real about imposter syndrome around big words, why plain language matters with families, and what it's like being married to someone outside ABA when you can't turn off your reinforcement radar. 😅 ("I know what you just did" is a real sentence in real homes.)
If you've ever felt boxed in by what ABA "is supposed to look like"… pull up a seat. 🛋️
🔑 IN THIS EPISODE
- ABA is the science of human behavior, not just autism services
- Sports, OBM, music, and wellness are growing paths for behavior analysts
- Great supervisors give new clinicians room to be creative
- Imposter syndrome is common, and plain language beats jargon
- Conferences show you paths you can't Google
