Reflecting on 10 Years of ABA (2009-2019)
What to Expect
I've been re-thinking and re-designing just about everything related to the channel. Today marks the beginning of a transition from inward speaking to outward. Less jargon and topical things that only behavior analysts would understand. Why? Well, internet videos fueled on behavior analysis but for a more general audience may mean more public awareness of the field. I don't expect this to be overnight but over a few months. Here are some "themes" of videos I'm thinking about always creating within: One Minute Monday Why Context Matters Why We Do What We Do The Failure Series Archives Follow This Mental & Behavioral Health I'm hoping to create more things as I have, but dabble in some new stuff. All "fueled" by behavior analysis, but slowly less and less targeted JUST for behavior analysts, and hopefully meaningful to people within and outside of the field (e.g., psychology students). They're flexible in that I can bring others into any of them (one issue I used to have is just me saying stuff leads to me running out of shit to say and it's not as useful for others, the field, etc.), and I hope it allows me to find a schedule to upload on over time. I'd like to be more consistent, and I guess I'll see if I can make that happen naturally prior to committing publicly and failing haha.
What about the nerdy content? We'll keep the super behavior-nerd/potentially jargon-filled, and ABA-specific talks still going on @thecontroversialexchange podcast (including video and audio clips) as well as in April 2020 when we release the Pat Friman piece it'll come with a brand that continues to push out high-quality, nerdy, even CEU-worthy content for analysts. 👊👊👊-RYANO

About
Ryan O'Donnell, MS, BCBA
Hey, I'm Ryan. I usually go by Ryan O or RYANO. I hail from northern Nevada in the grungy, yet surprisingly classy, (and newly renovated) Reno, Nevada. I like my climate like I like my data: evolving, uncompromising, and progressive. I am a master of science; that is, I have an M.S. in Applied Behavior Analysis, however, my interests have grown to include many other interests, including entrepreneurship and capturing perspectives and stories through various mediums. These interests and skills have allowed me to work with a lot of great people. I've started three businesses, started numerous active joint venture agreements, a behavioral think-tank, a podcast, a professional development movement, helped organizations that support people with Intellectual Disabilities, to list a few. Currently, I lead product development and distribution for High Sierra Industries as a Learning Systems Development Specialist. I focus outside this role on building a community of thought leaders and doers to create content that increases the transparency of behavior analytic technologies with the hopes of creating a platform that truly saves the world. My interests are all over, from artificial intelligence and machine learning applications to the theory and philosophy behind Why We Do What We Do (wwdwwdpodcast.com). In my spare time you can find me consuming social media, prepping/climbing a giant mountain, or walking around with my camera in my hand (and, occasionally, all simultaneously). Connect with me personally on most all social platforms via @TheDailyBA and let me know what drives you to pursue the Behavior Analysis vision.
