0:00.0	Mark's great to see you face to face. We're doing this live, not just doing it live, we are actually in
0:05.2	Shortwich, very close to Silicon Roundabout. So I feel a little bit of a tech vibe coming on.
0:11.0	But you've come all the way from France today. So great to see you in person. Yeah, thank you very much,
0:15.9	Matthew. Yeah, I've actually been based in France for almost 15 years now. So I've got a French wife ends
0:21.3	being based down that way. And yeah, so it's great to be over in the city and amongst all the

1:39.3	learned. More on those soon, but one of the biggest characteristics that define successful
