Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah. And this is day one of our Squiggly Careers sprint where we are going to be diving in to how you can learn like a lobster. And before we get started with day one, we just wanted to remind you about some actions that are going to be useful so you can get the most out of the sprint. First thing is make sure you complete our Learn Like a Lobster profiler. It will help you to see where you're starting from, so where you've got some lobster-like learning strengths.

And also make sure you are signed up for the sprint. Just go to squiggly sprint.com. That means you get all of our daily emails with all the tools and links that we recommend so you can keep learning. So each day we're going to be talking about a different fascinating feature that a lobster has, which might feel a bit random, but we will very quickly then connect it to how it's going to help you to learn and grow in your job, but also in your squiggly career. So day one, kind of fun fact, fun lobster fact.

You're going to learn a lot of them as we go through the week. is that lobsters never stop growing. So they start off so small and so tiny and we've seen them and they really are really small, but they just get bigger and bigger and bigger and they kind of keep on, they keep on growing. It's very much sort of in their, in their DNA. There's no point where they stop growing.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
