0:00.0	Hey Anna, I've got a new secret weapon for print. Print?
0:02.9	Vista print, right? That's not a secret. Print everything for your business with Vista print. Business cards, stickers, t-shirt, signage, even photo books from your last holiday. If you need it, we print it at vistoprint.co.uk. Everybody. Hi. Oh, um, Daryl and I have some news. We know it's only been a couple of weeks,
0:23.4	but we've decided to start an exciting new chapter. Honestly, we never thought we'd be the time for people to do this, but we're going to become investors with Monzo.

2:03.1	I remember that launch video. Probably my favorite launch video. I've seen in at least recent
2:08.4	political memory. Let's play it. And then I want to talk to you about your soaring campaign.
2:13.3	Let's play this video.
2:15.3	I love most about man of the people. I have never met people who are more hard scrabble, even in a place that requires you
