And I think that growth mindset, it was a bit of a challenge when we sold, we still had to integrate with the multinational and our purchaser in cow.
And I was still CEO for the next 18 months or so.
So that was a challenge to integrate in the whole businesses and work in multinational, but it's nothing like your own company and
and what we built.
But part of that integration is an exit.
So it was a challenge, but look, it was a great journey.
I started Lauren in, I think with private equity back in 2007, I approached her.
So the actual journey of trying to get involved in the company,
Started eight years.
So we got the advisory team around it quite early, but then we thought, okay, a formal process looks okay.
But I didn't realize what a formal process actually is and the amount of work you have to do, but also operate your business.
So not only do you have to exit your company and making sure that all the legal DD, accounting DD, everything's fine tuned and ready to go.
And then you get grilled.
absolutely grilled as a private company from these multinationals.
You've got people on a call, they might have 15 lawyers, and I've only got myself and my COO.
And when answering all these questions on legal, you have to pivot to IT, pivot to strategy, manufacturing.
So it's like an interview process.
But most importantly, you gotta make sure you're still hitting results and not telling anyone, because it's a confidential process.
So it's all that balancing of operating the business, still hitting your P&L targets, trying to exit, keeping it confidential from a majority of your team,
besides your leaders, are probably part of that integration.
