What do you think about to the the private equity experience because you went from being on one side of the table to the other, right? Now as an operator with the company. >> It was very interesting. The the group I was with previously came with with they had made a bit of money in in tech in the early 2000s and so they came with with with a background of finance, very successful group of individuals with no experience in energy or infrastructure. And I think I would say we learned the hard way that uh projects or executing on the ground is very different than having, you know, being able to run a financial model, right? It's you know, we all came kind of from from finance investment banking or different kind of backgrounds where it's easy to show a beautiful financial model and projections of an incredible business. Um and when you get into it and and what I eventually learned is
the importance of a good project and a good execution of that project is really more valuable than the money itself. I I find there's always money and and so in that experience we learned that, you know, it's really about it's it's an asset-driven business and good assets are driven by good good off-take, um long-term contracts and that's what I've focused on in in in this life here at this company.
