| 0:00.0 | It's behavior bitches. |
| 0:05.0 | Hey guys, it's Leatt. |
| 0:06.8 | Welcome to today's episode of Behavior Bidges Podcast. |
| 0:11.5 | Today, we have a special guest, but before I get into our guest, obviously I have to |
| 0:15.7 | reinforce myself or my behavior, shall I say, of doing this podcast because it takes a lot of work to get on |
| 0:21.8 | here and put these out. So here we go. This next is from Aaron Barg, and this is coming in after the |
| 0:29.4 | Parisa podcast on Spotify. You could leave reviews on Spotify now too, just saying in case you're |
| 0:35.6 | not an Apple user. It is. I really appreciate how this |
| 0:38.9 | podcast incorporates relatable scenarios while seamlessly integrating ABA terminology. I also loved |
| 0:44.7 | all the behind the scenes details about The Bachelor. I've always wondered about those. Me too, |
| 0:50.4 | and she couldn't even answer the juiciest ones because her producers were on the call. |
| 0:54.8 | That was kind of lame. |
| 0:57.3 | However, thank you for leaving the review. |
| 0:59.5 | I have a lot more questions there. |
| 1:00.8 | Thanks, Aaron. |
| 1:02.3 | All right. |
| 1:17.4 | Today's behavior concepts covered are pragmatism, punishment, repeatability, reinforcement, negative reinforcement, delayed, |
| 1:25.3 | discounting, learning history, and philosophical doubt. Now getting into today's guest, this guest is very special to me because I think, I don't know if you know this guest. |
| 1:37.3 | I've noticed in our field of ABA have like a lot of, they'll be like, oh I'm such a fan girl of this and they'll drop names like well I don't want to put names because then they're going to think I'm being rude these people but whatever it is and like I don't really have anyone that I like specifically like fan over and if I were going to look like my one person in the field I'd say it's you oh that's too kind I know I'm not that kind actually I don't know I should be that high up on the list. I can give you like 12 others to put up higher. I know, but that's probably just like me not being educated that I chose you. I'm just kidding. It just means that my social media marketing strategy early days really worked well. Like, I mean, there's people doing cool things, but like the way you explain things, I just think you're like the brightest person. Like, you're my like, okay, this doesn't make sense. Let me bring it to him see if this is right or not. So that's you. Thank you. And if anyone's wondering, if you're not watching this on YouTube, and if you're not watching this on YouTube, go subscribe on YouTube because you're making these on video now, which is a lot |
| 2:34.2 | more work. I'm sitting here with Ryan O. Ryan O'Donnell. You guys may know him as the Daily |
| 2:40.7 | BA on social media. I'd say you were probably the first, or if not one of the first social media |
| 2:49.8 | BCBAs? |
