🎙 ABA Business Leaders Podcast: Finding Your Why with ‘ABA on Tap’
In this special crossover episode, April and Stephen team up with Mike and Dan of the ABA On Tap podcast for a candid conversation about the often-unspoken challenges of ABA business ownership. Together, they explore what it really takes to start and grow a sustainable practice, and the personal and professional costs when your foundation isn’t strong.
From the importance of having a clear “why,” to why some BCBAs shouldn’t be business owners, this episode is packed with straight talk, field-tested advice, and a few laughs. You’ll also hear why neglecting your RBTs and obsessing over billables can erode your mission faster than you think.
Inside the episode:

🛑 The real reasons many ABA start-ups struggle—or fail
🎯 How to build a people-first company without sacrificing growth
💬 Why undervaluing your RBTs is a fast track to burnout and turnover
⚠️ The trap of focusing only on billables—and what it’s really costing you
