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, 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 any more apart from thank you. Thank you for all of the support the Squiggly Careers community give us. And let's get on to today's episode.
