What one move can I make to drive my business forward? 

Key themes include: 



Identifying decisions that unlock operational momentum rather than adding complexity 

Letting go of control without sacrificing quality or outcomes 

Choosing your “hard” as a business owner and accepting that growth always comes with trade-offs 

The long-term impact of training, developing, and growing alongside your BCBAs 

Why background work and infrastructure matter just as much as visible leadership
