But, you know, we had a call and, you know, I kind of told him about our thesis and what we were working on and what we're starting to build.

He said, Josh, I think that's a very clever idea.

And I thought, clever, OK, sure.

And he said, I'd like to bring some of my colleagues along and introduce you.

So we had our first sort of official call with them in January of 2020.

And little did I know what that would sort of unleash.

But it began a two year process of closing.

Now, that was somewhat disrupted by covid and the fact that, you know, from from kind of what was that March of 2020 when things really shut down?

And until September of 2020, we were intermittently speaking and doing things by phone as everything was disrupted.

I finally got over to London in September of 2020 through all the COVID protocols.

You know, we just built a relationship at first virtually and then in person and really allowed them to get to know our business, allowed them to get to know us.

We were fortunate.

And that as we were looking around for this, legal in general had hired JLL to do some analysis of investment strategies in the U.S.

that they may want to consider.

And, you know, of course, they got back a report telling they could look at all sorts of different things, you know, industrial cold storage, data centers, life sciences, you name it.

And within that report, our name sort of surfaced.

And so kind of out of the gate, we had some relationship and we had some credibility there.

And really then what we had to do was build trust.

And we had to really open ourselves up to both the kind of the intellectual probing around what it is we were trying to do, but also letting them under the hood and really seeing what we've done in the past, what we were building and where we could go.

I'd say, you know, the lesson that really came out of that process, particularly working with such a large institution, you know, 190 year history at this point.
