Hi everybody. It is Helen from the Squiggly Careers podcast. And before you listen to today's episode,

I just want to do something that I honestly find quite hard. This is no joke the sixth time I have

recorded this. And that is because I'm going to ask for help and it doesn't feel easy for me to do.

But here we go. We are now very close to our new book, Learn Like a Lobster coming out. It comes out on the 5th of

February, which means if you pre-order now, it makes a really big difference to us. If you don't

know how the book thing works, pre-orders mean that books climb the charts, it feeds the

algorithm and more people see our work. That means we can help more people with their career.

We can help more people to grow. So if you've been considering the book, if you are a supporter

of Squiggly, but you just haven't done it yet, please, please, pre-order now. It makes a really big

difference to us. And it means we can reach help and support more people with their Squiggly

career. I'm not going to

say anymore, apart from thank you. Thank you for all of the sport the squiggly careers community

givers and let's get on to today's episode. Hi everyone, it's Sarah here from the squiggly careers

podcast. This week it is the launch of our new book Learn Like a Lobster. So we've got some very special podcast

episodes for you. Each day, you will hear me talk to a CEO about one of their shell shedding

moments, something hard that has happened, what's helped them, and how they have found their way

to growing even bigger, better and stronger, just like our new friend and role model, The Lobster.

And I really hope you enjoy hearing from the range of CEOs that you'll get the opportunity to learn from this week.

CEOs who run massive creative companies, who run fast-growing scale-ups, charities, volunteer organisations, and even our very own, Helen,

who's our CEO, will also be talking about her shell shedding moments.

So I hope you enjoy each of the conversations.

And if you've got any feedback or reflections, we always love to hear from you.
