Ross on the Maintain the Design Podcast - Part 2

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.

About the Podcast

People Soup

Real conversations about work, leadership and being human.

Grounded in behavioural science, each episode is packed with practical ideas you can put into practice straight away.

The name People Soup comes from a quote by Abraham Maslow:

"A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting."

I've always loved that idea. Creativity isn't confined to art. It shows up in how we live, work, lead and relate to one another.

Work can sometimes feel like a soup: a rich, sometimes bewildering mix of people, personalities, decisions, pressures, relationships and unexpected challenges. Every day we're trying to make sense of the ingredients we've been given.

Behavioural science doesn't remove the complexity, but it gives us practical ways to navigate it. It offers ideas, skills and evidence-based tools that help us respond more effectively—to ourselves, to other people and to the situations we face.

That's what People Soup is all about.

Through conversations, solo episodes and practical tools, People Soup explores how behavioural science—and particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—can help us lead, work and live with greater purpose, psychological flexibility and practical wisdom.

About your host

Ross McIntosh

I'm Ross McIntosh, a business psychologist, coach and facilitator, with over 30 years' experience helping people thrive at work.

People Soup grew from a simple belief: work is an important part of life, but it doesn't have to come at the expense of our wellbeing, our relationships or our values.

Each episode explores the realities of work, leadership and being human through the lens of behavioural science. Sometimes that's a conversation with an inspiring guest. Sometimes it's a short "Quick Spoon" offering a practical idea you can put into practice straight away.

My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that helps people develop psychological flexibility: the ability to stay purposeful, adaptable and effective, even when life gets messy.

Whether you're leading a team, supporting others, or simply trying to navigate the pressures of modern work, my hope is that People Soup gives you practical tools, fresh perspectives and the confidence to take your next meaningful step.
