Season 3 Reflections - in the bag!
Season 3 Episode 45
Hi P-Soupers - we're at the end of Season three and I'd like to share two lists and two quotes.
It isn't always easy looking back at stuff we've done - and we tend to focus on the mistakes and cringe-worthy moments.
I also reflect on the people I've lost over Season 3 - which started way back in July 2019.
Season 4 will be with you before you know it P-Soupers - watch this space.

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 3 Episode 44 of People Soup.
P-Soupers, thanks for tuning in. This week, it’s part 2 of my interview on the Maintain the Design podcast. Yip – you can hear me in the hot-seat.
So this episode is a bit different, you’ll hear me being interviewed by Thato Mathebula and G-Man from the Maintain the Design podcast based in Johannesberg. I was really chuffed to be asked by the guys, their podcast is about creative culture and lifestyle in various industries and niches such as business, art, music and fashion . They say “Not being limited in our topics of conversation is our vibe!” I really really like their approach and in this part we chat about anxiety, creating the conditions to maximise the possibility of tangible results from workplace training, creativity and loads more.

Ross on the Maintain the Design Podcast - Part 1
Season 3 Episode 43
P-Soupers – thanks for tuning in – this week the tables are turned – and it’s me in the hot-seat for the Maintain the Design podcast.
People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun to nourish your mind to flourish at work.
So this episode is a bit different – you’ll hear me being interviewed by Thato Mathebula and G-Man, from the Maintain the Design podcast based in Johannesburg. The guys were kind enough to send me their edit of the interview and I've made it into a two parter for the P-Soupers. The questions they asked gave me a great workout on a Sunday morning in January.
In Part 1- we talk about my work and the science that underpins it, some of the issues I work on, how I manage my own behaviour and I have a go a giving some advice to the younger generation.
I was really chuffed to be asked by the guys – their podcast is about creative culture and lifestyle in various industries and niches, such as business, art, music and fashion. They say “Not being limited in our topics of conversation is our vibe!” I really like their approach and the range of their exploration. Their recent guests have included the rappers Flow Jones Jr and Jay Hood, a pioneer in South African dance and urban, culture Mernoly Simba and pro league athlete and trainer Chris Rauben

Ann Parkinson - Part 2
Season 3 Episode 42
P-Soupers, thanks for tuning in! This week, it’s part two of my chat with physiotherapist, coach and author, Ann Parkinson.
In this part of the conversation we dive into Ann’s book, "Dancing Through Life: A guide to living well". We explore the golden thread of compassion that runs through it, chat about the frameworks Ann developed to support the reader, talk about the connection between body and mind and reflect that many people are sitting and working in different environments right now, like the kitchen table or even their bed.
Reviews are in for Part 1 on my chat with Ann. I think Shelly Prosko from Canada summed it up beautifully. She said on twitter
"Wonderful episode – such a lovely interview - Ann you are filled with insight, compassion and wisdom."
