What's going on, everybody? Before we jump into this episode, I want to give a huge shout out to all over incredible sponsors that are just amazing that provides so much value for everybody here in the self-storage industry.

First and foremost, I want to touch on Janice International. Cool story. We actually just got to tour the Janice International facility, their manufacturing facility last week, which was awesome to see how they do their fabrication.

As a lot of you guys know, and maybe you don't know, Janice International, their roots are in metal fabrication.

You're talking doors, all this good stuff from the tracks to the door panels themselves.

And then Janice also recently, in the past several years or so, purchased the no key keyless access

system, which is an amazing system that allows people to rent and access a facility, get a storage

unit, get their stuff in, get out, all that good stuff without ever having to talk to or interact with a storage facility manager. Phenomenal group of people. Their facility was just amazing to walk through and just see all these cool things, how they do it. And I believe we posted some of that to social media. So if you guys aren't following us on social media, be sure to do that so you guys can see some of those things. Super, super cool to walk through and see

all that stuff and just the value they're providing to everybody in the storage industry

and the level and degree and expertise that they're pumping into all of their products.

It's an open API platform.

You know, I'm not in the tech industry. So I'm not even going to get into the details as far as what that even means.

But it allows you to actually access your data, utilize it in the ways that you want, and be able to plug it into the systems that you utilize at your facilities.

It's not some kind of thing where you can only use it with this or that or whatever.

It's open. You guys can plug into it, utilize it however you want. You have that access to your data.
