"Your career path is kind of a lonely thing – you have people you can talk to along the way, but then you hit a certain point where you run out of people to talk to. It’s a unique thing. The analogy I used with Scott was that I didn’t realize I was sitting in this dark, stuffy room – then someone walks in and turns the light on. Scott did that, and it’s such a relief. It’s been extremely positive."
