Quick Spoon: We don't choose who we become
Episode 18
Sunday, 3 May, 2026

Why do some people push our buttons so easily?And what if compassion wasn’t about excusing behaviour… but understanding how people are shaped?In this Quick Spoon from my conversation with Dr Eric Goodman, we explore a powerful idea:None of us chose our genetics.None of us chose our upbringing.None of us chose the experiences that shaped us.But…We do have some say in who we become next.A thought-provoking reflection on compassion, responsibility, and how we respond to difficult people—at work and beyond.People Soup: Real conversations about work, leadership, and being human — grounded in behavioural science, with practical ideas you can actually use.If you’re enjoying People Soup, hit follow so you don’t miss future episodes.Eric's WebsiteVisit Ross' Website.Connect with Ross on LinkedInPeople Soup on Instagram which also features plenty of Ross' photos of the Andalusian lifeHe's now also on BlueskyThe People Soup Website on CAPTIVATE
