| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. |
| 0:14.7 | Welcome to ABA Inside Track, the podcast that's like reading in your car, but safer. |
| 0:19.8 | I'm your host, Robert Perry Cruz, and with me, |
| 0:21.8 | as always, are my fabulous co-hosts. Hey, Rob. It's Diana. And it's Jackie. Oh, Jackie, you can hear me |
| 0:28.2 | okay, right? I can hear you so well, Rob. It's like you're in my room. Okay, so this would sort of be a |
| 0:33.9 | problem, I think, that would happen to only, you know, the podcast people around the world. |
| 0:38.2 | But I think the nice thing about having this podcast for so many years before kind of our current online communication world is everyone gets to feel the fun of having their audio equipment work, not work, their canvas work and not work. |

| 1:29.5 | we're very, very fortunate to be joined by a very special guest, Dr. Derek Reed. Derek, thank you so |
| 1:34.4 | much for coming on the show. I'm happy to be here. Before we get started into more about behavioral |
| 1:39.3 | economics in general, do you mind giving us a quick rundown of who you are and a little summary of your life so |
| 1:46.1 | far? Sure. So I am a trained school psychologist. That's what my PhD is in from Syracuse University. |
| 1:54.2 | And I don't do anything related to that. Following my degree, I worked for a couple years doing some clinical services out in New England, |
