  • This is a fantastic podcast. Here’s why…

    As someone who has been in business for over 30 years, one thing I am always reminded of is that whatever problem or hurdle you are facing, can usually be fixed by solving a specific single little bump in the road. This podcast, almost always gives me a tiny particle of clarity that I can smooth out a road bump. Love it.

  • Clear Target Audience

    This show is super niche and it knows it, which is a good thing! They provide super valuable information and resources specifically to those in the ABA business. While ABA was never really my cup of tea as a special educator, there were aspects I found helpful.

    My only comment for improvement would be in editing so that it comes across a bit more clean (reducing ums, uhs, etc)
