    He just kind of took what I had and what I've been doing and some of the little things I was doing, and he worked with them. It wasn't any drastic changes, it wasn't, 'Hey, you're doing this, this and this wrong.' It wasn't we're going to come in and redo everything. It was working with what I had and what I had tried to build on and just revised it a little bit.
