Hi everyone and welcome to this week's Squiggly Careers podcast. I'm Sarah and I'm joined by my co-host Helen.

Hello everybody. And this week, particularly today, is a particularly special day for all things squiggly.

So for those of you who follow us on Instagram or connected with us on LinkedIn, you will have seen that in the Sunday Times every month,

they publish a list of business bestsellers. And today we were number one, which is amazing.

It is amazing. And we know that so many of our listeners will have been some of the first people

to pre-order back in September, October last year, or perhaps you just ordered it two weeks ago. But we are incredibly

grateful and really appreciative to everyone who's gone out and kind of bought the book. Before

kind of you could really read any reviews or anything like that, I think it's always a bit of a

leap of faith for people. And it's paid off. And if you'd have told us that we could be top of a business bestseller list where, you know,

you sold more books and people like Simon Sinek or the founder of Nike,

albeit they sell quite a lot every month, to be fair to them.

But, you know, this month no one can take away from the fact that we have sold more books than they have.

And it's one of those things that for us, I guess we've been working hard on it for a long time.

And we were just saying actually how you sort of can potentially take it for granted because it's lots and lots of kind of small actions over a long period of time.

But we are just taking a moment on this Sunday to just give ourselves a tiny pat on

the back and a pat on the back extended to every one of our listeners and for helping us to get to

that number one. You know I think an extended pat on the back is like a sort of a giant hug.

Yeah. I'm thinking it's like with lots of they say yeah, huge thanks. And the podcast for anyone

who is new or perhaps you're listening for maybe the first or second time,

we always cover any and all kind of topics affecting work today.

So whether it's how to improve your gravitas to exploring future career possibilities,

what we really want to do with this podcast is to help everyone listening,
