From Protecting Quarterbacks to Protecting ABA Clinics Why a former offensive lineman builds financial support for clinic owners

🏈💼 What does an offensive lineman have in common with an ABA clinic owner? Both are trying to keep someone from getting blindsided. At the BMBA Summit, we sat down with the founder of Bounce Back Financial, who helps ABA clinic owners connect their billing, accounting, and CFO advisory so the money side doesn't fall apart. We get into why he chose this field over bigger-margin industries (it's personal 💛), what he sees when clinics run into cash-flow trouble, and why the name "Bounce Back" fits the story behind the company.Then we talk about what we all wish grad school covered: running the business. 🧾 Why delegation and succession planning separate the clinics that last, why Medicaid rules change so much from state to state, what a prepayment audit can put at risk, and how to find a partner who shows up when things get messy.And because it's us, we also talk about what it felt like to be welcomed into the BMBA community as a non-behavior analyst, why representation matters, and a very serious debate about LA versus DC. 🎢 (Our spare room is still open.)If you own a clinic, dream of owning one, or want to know what happens after the session notes… pull up a seat. 🛋️🔑 IN THIS EPISODE- Why billing, accounting, and CFO support work better when they talk to each other- Why delegation and succession planning matter as a clinic grows- How state Medicaid differences affect clinic owners- What a prepayment audit can put at risk, and why documentation matters- Why community and representation matter in this field⏱️ CHAPTERS0:00 – Meet the Founder of Bounce Back Financial 🎙️0:36 – Who Are You?
