Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 4 of People Soup it's Ross McIntosh here.

Professor Ross White is back on the show to talk about his brilliant book, "The Tree That Bends". The ingredients Ross brings to People Soup are his love of sport and his values of equity, creativity, courage and a willingness to move towards what's difficult. You'll hear how he brings these values to life in his work in high performance environments, it's an episode filled with wisdom.

For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond. For those of you who are regular P Soupers - thanks for tuning in - we love it that you're part of our community.
