You asked, we delivered. Our fantastic Business Leader audience is growing fast and you have been asking us to share our favourite episodes from the back catalogue. So throughout August we will be doing just that and re-publishing some of our best founder and scale-up stories.

This episode on Monzo is a classic scale-up story. How do you turn a popular consumer brand into a business that actually makes money? Graham Ruddick met TS Anil, the chief executive of Monzo to find out. Under his watch, Monzo has gone from a loss-making business into one reportedly working on a stock market floatation that could value the digital bank at more than £6bn. As TS Anil says: "A mission without a business plan is a bumper sticker. Anybody can write one."
