It's got to be actually engaging, you're asking questions, you're waiting for the response to see whether you're moving forward or not. We can't just will these things into being, we've got to ask our way through these things."</p><p><strong>Walker</strong>: "Make sure that they understand. Make sure that you're on the same base.
