Applied Behavior Analysis isn’t just for therapy sessions — it’s a way of life.
In this episode of The Gold Standard Podcast, the hosts sit down with an extraordinary BCBA whose journey spans parenting, autism advocacy, elite bodybuilding, and behavior change at the highest level, Miin-An Hosic
What started as a mother fighting for answers for her young daughter eventually became a lifelong commitment to ABA — one that shaped her career, her family, and even her path to the bodybuilding stage.
This conversation with An dives into:
What it’s like navigating autism as both a parent and a professional
How ABA principles apply far beyond autism, from fitness to nutrition to mindset
The role of grit, shaping, reinforcement, and delayed gratification in real-world success
The importance of ethical coaching, vetting professionals, and individualized plans
How behavior science helped transform powerlifting into competitive bodybuilding
Why ABA is about quality of life, not compliance
This episode is honest, inspiring, and packed with real-world applications of behavior science — whether you’re a BCBA, parent, athlete, or someone trying to build better habits.
