Building Better Businesses in ABA
Jonathan Mueller
Hi, I'm Jonathan Mueller and I believe that businesses don’t grow, PEOPLE grow. And people, in turn, grow their business. I started this pod to democratize access to the best business advice for owners, aspiring entrepreneurs and leaders in the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) field.I have conversations every week with iconic names who provide deep insights about running a successful ABA practice. Only have time to listen to one thing? Check out the “Stop/Start” segment of every episode, in which my guests share one thing ABA business owners should START doing, and one thing they should STOP doing.I’ve spent more than a decade of my life in the field, including as Co-Founder and Co-CEO of two autism services businesses: Ascend Behavior Partners and Element RCM. I love sharing everything that I’ve learned (and everything that I’ve failed at!). Because I believe in paying it forward.Thank you for listening!Sponsored by ElementRCM

I'm SO honored that Belen agreed to come on the Pod; she's been a leader in Ascend for years and recently became co-chair of our DEI committee.
