In this episode of The Fuck It Shift, Adam Ross unpacks one of the most surprising lessons about growth — from a lobster. A lobster can only grow by shedding its shell, leaving itself completely exposed and vulnerable until a new one forms. It’s uncomfortable, even dangerous, but it’s the only way forward.
Adam connects this metaphor to his own journey through loss, failure, and rebuilding. He shares how the hardest seasons in life often force us out of our comfort zone and into raw, unprotected spaces where growth actually happens. Staying safe in your old shell feels easier, but it keeps you small.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve hit a wall, this episode is your reminder that discomfort is proof you’re growing. The question is simple: will you stay in your shell, or shed it and take the risk of becoming something bigger?
