And then I'm really glad that, you know, when the times are tough, we come together really strongly.

And then I'm kind of glad that that happened in 25, not 24.

So I eat a 12 months after, you know, we started this new structure, right?

Imagine if that happens in 24 race one, I think we'd have disintegrated.

But- Why?

Because I think, so throughout 24, we are building foundations, right?

in a new way of doing things, working together, teamwork, supporting each other, transparency, no-blame culture.

So we are building those foundations.

So by the time we hit the huge issue in Melbourne, at least we had the foundation, we had the respect and trust to each other.

So when we are having those meetings in Melbourne, late at night, when Europe wakes up with all the senior guys, we all been working together previous 12 months in this way.

So there's no-blame culture.

Everybody understood that, okay, we just got to work together to solve this, no bullshit.

But imagine if that happened in 24 March, where we only started working in this way a couple of months.

I don't think we'd have had that level of togetherness and trust and respect to each other.

So in a blessing in disguise that we had the 12 months to build that foundation.

And then that huge challenge was there.

And then that made us, you know, the fact that we came out on the other side in a good way in the process is so important, right?

You cannot control the result.

quite often, but you can definitely control the process.

And I do believe that we did it in the right process, right way.
