Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering IBM Think 2018, brought to you by IBM. Hello everyone, welcome to theCUBE here at IBM Think in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay. I'm John Furrier, the host of theCUBE. We're here in this CUBE studio as a set for IBM Think. My next guest is Jennifer Shinn, who's the founder of Eight Path Solutions, Twitter handle Jen J, S-H-I-N. Great to see you, thanks for joining me. Yeah, happy to be here. I'm glad you stopped by, I wanted to get your thoughts, your thought leader in the industry, you've been on multiple CUBE panels, thank you very much, also CUBE alumni. IBM with the data center of the value proposition, the CEO's up on stage today saying, get data and you got blockchain and you got AI, which is essentially infrastructure of the future, and AI is software of the future, data's at the middle. Dave and I are talking about that as the innovation sandwich. The data's being sandwiched between blockchain and AI, two super important things, and she also mentioned Moore's Law, faster, smaller, cheaper, every six months doubling in speed and performance, and then Metcalf's Law, which is more of a network effect, kind of teasing out token economics, you see kind of where the world's going, this is interesting positioning from IBM, I love when I like it, is it real? Well, it sounds very data science-y, right? You have the economics part, you have the networking, you have all these things that you're playing. So I think it's very much in line with what you would expect if data science actually sustains itself, which thankfully it has. And I think the reality is, we like to boil things down into nice little simple concepts, but in the real world, when you're actually figuring it all out, it's going to be multiple effects. It's going to be a lot of different things that interact. And they kind of really teased out their cloud strategy in a very elegant way. I mean, they essentially said, look, we're into the cloud and we're not going to try to, they didn't say it directly, but they basically said it. We're not going to compete with Amazon head-to-head. We're going to let our offerings do the talking. We're going to use data and give customers choice with multi-cloud. How does that jive for you? How does that work? Because end of the day, I got to have business logic. I need applications, you know, whether it's blockchain, cryptocurrency, or apps, the killer apps now money. If no one's making any money, no commerce is being done. Right. I mean, I think it makes sense. You know, Amazon is such a stronghold in the infrastructure part, right? Being able to store your data elsewhere and have it be cloud. I don't think that was really IBM's core business. You know, a lot of, I think their business model was built around business to business relationships. And these days, one of the great things about all these data technologies is that one company doesn't have to do all of it. Where you have partnerships and actually partners so that, you know, one company does AI. You partner with another company that has data. And that way you can actually both make money. Right. There's more than enough work to go around. That much you can say having worked data science teams, right? If I can offer some of my work to different divisions, fantastic. That'd be great. Next time we get to market faster, you know, build things quicker. So I think that's one of the great things about what's happening with data these days, right? There's enough work to get around. And it's beautiful too, because you think if you think about the concept of what cloud, made cloud grade is DevOps. Blockchain is an opportunity to use decentralization to take away a lot of inefficiencies. AI is also an automation opportunity to create value. So you got inefficiencies on the blockchain side and AI to create value, your thoughts and reaction to where that's going to go. You know, in light of the first death of an Uber self-driving car, again historic yesterday, right? So, you know, the reality is right there. We're not perfect, but there's a path. Well, so most of the inefficiency out there, it's not the technology. It's all the people using technology, right? You broke the logic by putting in something you shouldn't have put into that data set. You know, the data is now dirty because you put in things that the developer didn't think that you put in there. So the reality is we're going to keep making mistakes and there'll be more and more opportunities for new technologies that help chew that up. And maybe- So I was talking with Rob Thomas, GM of the analytics team. You know Rob, great guy. He's smart, he's also an executive, but he knows the tech. He and I are talking about this notion of data containers. So with Kubernetes now front and center as an orchestration layer for cloud and application workloads, IBM has an interesting announcement with this cloud private approach, where data is the central thing in this because you got things like GDPR out there and the regulatory environment not going to get any easier. You got blockchain crypto. That's a regulatory nightmare. We know a GDPR, that's a total nightmare. So this is happening, right? So what should customers be doing?  They don't want to make a wrong bet, but they need good data, good strategy. They need to do things differently. How do they get the best out of their data architecture knowing that there's hurdles and potential blockers in front of them? Well, so I think you want to be careful what you select and how much you're going to be indebted to that one service that you selected, right? So if you're not sure yet, maybe you don't invest all of your budget into this one thing that you're not sure is going to really be what you want to be paying for in a year or two, right? So I think being really open to how you're going to plan for things long-term and thinking about where you can have some flexibility where certain things you can. For instance, if you're going to be in an industry that is going to be strict on regulatory requirements, right, then you have less legal room. They say an industry where that's not going to be as much of an absolute necessary part of your technology. Let me ask you a question, being kind of a historian and has, you know, what's it, one year is like seven dog years or whatever the expression is in the data space. It just seems like yesterday that Hadoop was going to save the world. So that as kind of context, what is some technologies that just didn't pan out? Is the data lake working? I mean, what didn't work and what replaced it if you could make an observation? Well, so I think that's hard because the way I understood technology is probably not the way everyone else did, right? I mean, you know, at the end of the day, Hadoop, it just is like a way of being able to store data, right? And being able to use, you know, more information store faster, but I'll tell you what I think is hilarious. I see people using Hadoop and they're running SQL queries the same way we did like 10 plus years ago, same in efficiency, and they're not leveraging the fact that Hadoop, where they're treating it like I'm going to create eight million tables and then use joins. So they're not really using the technology. I think that's probably the biggest disappointment is that without knowledge sharing, without education, you have people making the same mistakes we made when technology wasn't as efficient.  Okay, so on the exciting side, what are you excited about in technology right now? What are you looking at that's a, you know, the next 20-mile stare of potential goodness that could be coming out of the industry? So I think anytime you have better science, better measurement. So measurement's huge, right? If you think about media industry, right? Everyone's trying to measure. I think there was an article that came out about some of YouTube's failures about measurement, right? And I think in general, my Facebook is very well known for measurement. That's going to be really interesting to see, right? What methodologies come out in terms of how well can we measure? I think another one would be, say, targeted advertising, right? That's another huge market that a lot of companies are going after. I think what's really going to be cool in the next few years is to see what people come up with, right? It's really the human ingenuity of it, right? We have the technology now, we have data engineers. What can we actually build? And how are we going to partner to be able to do that? And there's new stacks that are developing. The thing about the e-commerce stack, it's a 30-year-old stack, and ad-tech, and DNS, and cooking. Now you've got social network effects going on, and mentioning the MedCash law. So with all that, I want to get your, just your personal thoughts on blockchain, beyond blockchain, token economics, because there are a lot of people who are doing stuff with crypto, but what's really kind of pointing as a mega-trend standpoint is a new class of decentralized application developers are coming in, okay? They're dealing with data now on a decentralized basis. At the heart of that is the token economics, which is changing some of the business model dynamics. Have you seen anything, your thoughts on token economics? So I haven't seen it from the economic standpoint. I've seen it more from the, sort of the, I guess the algorithms and that standpoint. I actually have a good friend of mine who's at Yale, and she actually runs the, she's executive director of their corporate law center. So here's some from her legal side. I think what's really interesting is that there's all these different arenas, legal being a very important component with blockchain, as well as from the mathematical standpoint. You know, when I was in school, we back when, we studied things like hash keys and RSA keys. And so from the math standpoint, that's also a really cool aspect of it. So I think it's probably too early to say for sure what the economics part is going to actually look like. I think that's a little more long term. But what is exciting about this is that you actually see different parts of businesses, right? Not just the financial sector, but also the legal sector, and then say the math and algorithms and you know, having the integration of being able to build cooler things for that reason. Again, the math is certainly exciting. Machine learning, obviously, you know, that's well documented, that growth and success of what, and certainly the interest are there. You're seeing Amazon celebrating all the time, I just saw Vernard Vogels, the CTO, talking about another SageMaker success. They're looking at machine learning that way. You got Google with TensorFlow. You got this goodness in these libraries now, that are now in the community. It's kind of a perfect storm of innovation. What's new in the ML world that developers are getting excited about that companies are harnessing for value? You seeing anything there? Can you share some commentary on the current machine learning trends? So I think a lot of companies have gotten a little more adjusted to the idea of ML.  They loved the idea of it, but they didn't really know what they were doing. Right now they know a little bit more. I think in general, everyone thinks deep learning is really cool, neural networks. I think what's interesting though is that everyone's trying to figure out where's the line, what's the difference between AI versus machine learning versus deep learning versus neural networks. I think it's a little bit fun for me just to see everyone kind of struggle a little bit and actually even know the terminology so we can have a conversation. So I think all of that, just anything related to that sort of, when do you use TensorFlow? What do you use it for? And then also even say from Google, which parts do you actually send through an API? I mean, that's some of the conversations that I've been having with people in the business industry. Like which parts do you send through an API?  And that's really kind of, you're thinking there is what around core competencies where people need to kind of own it and really build the core competency and then outsource where it's more ephemeral in value. Is that, or is there a formula, I guess, to know when to bring it in-house and build around? What's your thoughts there? Well, part of it I think is scalability. If you don't have the resources or the time, sometimes time, if you don't have the time to build it in-house, it doesn't make sense to actually outsource it out. Also, if you don't think that's part of your core business, developing that within in-house to, you're sending all that money and resources to hire the best data scientist, it may not be worth it, because in fact, maybe the majority of your actual sales is with the sales department. They're the ones that actually bring in that revenue. So things, it's finding that balance of what investment's actually worth it. And sometimes personnel could leave and then you could be a big problem. Someone walks out the door, gets another job because it's a hot commodity to be. That's actually one of the big complaints I've heard is that we spend all this time investing in certain young people and then they leave. So I think part of this is actually that human factor. How do you encourage them to stay? So let's talk about you. How did you get here? School, interest, did you go off the path? Did you come in from another vector? How did you get into what you're doing now and share a little bit about who you are? Yeah, so I studied economics, mathematics, creative writing as an undergrad and statistics as a grad student. So, you know, kind of perfect storm.   This was like 2009, 2010. You know, people didn't think it was that important. You know, I was like the next three to five years, mathematician has been a hot hire. Don't believe me. So I ended up going, okay, well, the economy crashed. I was in magic consulting in finance, private equity hedge funds. Everyone swore, like, if you do this, you're going to be step for life, right? You're on the path, you make money and the economy crashed, all the jobs went away. And I went, maybe not the best career choice for me. So I did what I did at companies. I looked at the market and I went, where's their growth? I saw tech had growth and decided I'm going to pick up some skills I've never had before, learn to develop more and learn. I mean, in the beginning, I had no idea what an application development process was, right? I'm like, what does that mean to actually develop an application? So the last few years, I've really just been spending, just learning these things. And what's really cool though, is last year, one of my patents went through and I was able to actually launch something with Box at their keynote. So that was really awesome. Awesome. So it became a long way from just, I think, having the academic knowledge, to being able to apply it and then learn the technologies and then developing the technology. And that's a good path because you came in with a clean sheet paper, you didn't have any dogma of waterfall and older technology, so you kind of jumped into it. Did you use, like, a cloud to build on? Was it Amazon? Oh, that's funny too. Actually, I do know legacy technology quite well because I was in corporate America. Oh, okay, so you know. Yeah, so like SQL, for instance, like when I started working data science, which, funny enough, we didn't call it data science, we just called it, like, whatever you call it, you know, there was no data science term at that point. You know, we didn't have that, you know, idea of what, whether you use R, I thought, I mean, I've used R over 10 years, but it was for statistics. It was never for, like, you know, actual data science work. And then we used SQL in corporate America. When I was taking data science, like, in 2012, around then, everyone swore that, no, no, they're going to be programmers, they're going to be programming. Too much, I'm like, really, in corporate America, I've got programmers. I mean, think of how long it's going to take to get someone to learn any language. And of course, now everyone's learning Exxon's SQL again, right? Isn't it fun to, like, when you see someone on Facebook or LinkedIn, oh man, Dave, there's a new oil. And then you say, yeah, here's a blog post I wrote in 2009. Right, yep, exactly. Well, so funny enough, like, Ginni Rometti today was saying about exponential versus linear. And that's one of the things I've been saying over the last year about, you know, you want exponential growth, because linear or anything can take. That's a tweak. That's not really growth. Well, we value your opinion. You've been great on the queue, great to help us out on those panels. Got a great view. What's going on with your company? What are you working on now? What's exciting you these days? Yeah, so one of the cool things we worked on, I think, it's very much in line with what the IBM announcement was about being smarter. Right, so I developed some technology in the photo industry, digital asset management, as well as just being able to automate the renaming of files. Right, so you think, you probably put your digital camera, you never moved over.  And sometimes the same number, I got the same version files as the nightmare. Exactly, so I basically automated that process of having all of that just automatically renamed. So the demo that I did had 120 photos, we renamed in less than two minutes. Right, just making it faster and smarter. So really developing technologies that you can actually use every day and leverage for things like photography and some cooler stuff with OCR, which is the long-term goal, to be able to allow photographers to never touch the computer and have all of their client's photos automatically uploaded, renamed and sent to the right locations instantly. How did you get to start that app? Just, are you into photography? Or was more of, I have a picture problem and I got to fix it or? Well actually it's funny, I had a photographer taking my picture and then she showed me what she does with the process. I went, this is not okay. You can do better than this. So I can code, I basically went to Python and went, all right, I think this could work. Built a proof of concept and then decided to patent it. Awesome, well congratulations on the patent. Final thoughts here with IBM Think, overall sentiment of the show, Jenny's keynote, you get a chance to check anything out. What's the hallway conversations like? What are some of the things that you're hearing? So I think there's a general excitement about what might be coming, right? So a lot of the people who are here are actually here to share notes, right? They want to know what everyone else is doing. So that's actually great. You get to see more people here who are actually interested in this technology. I think there's probably some questions about alignment, about where does everything fit? That seems to be a lot of the conversation here. It's much bigger this year, as I'm sure you've noticed, right? It's a lot bigger. So that's probably the biggest thing I've heard. There's so many more people than we expected there to be. I like the Big Ten event, it's been a fan of it. I think if I was going to be critical, I would say they should do a business event and do a technical one under the same kind of theme and bring more alpha geeks to the technical one and make this much more of the business conversation because the business transformation seems to be the hottest thing here, but I want to get into the down in the weeds, get down and dirty. So I would like to see too, that's my take. I think it's really hard to cater to both.   You know, it's just you have to know, right? I think they both have a very different sensibility. So really, if you want to have a successful talk, generally you want both. Jennifer, thanks so much for coming by and spending some time in the Cube. Great to see you and thanks for sharing your insights. Jennifer Shin here inside the Cube at IBM Think 2018. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE. We'll back with more coverage after this short break.


Breast milk is a direct reflection of the nutrient status of the mother's diet. Not only that, certain environmental factors such as allergen, bacterial microbiome benefits are transferred in the milk to the child. We know of colostrum, the first milk from the mother, the immune properties that it gives the child, and we know babies have a natural instinct to crawl to the mother's breast after birth, not to a soy formula full of modern chemicals and poison. Just about everyone is unaware of the benefits of breastfeeding. Crooked teeth, poor eyesight, short stature, ugly faces, all of these things are attributed to improper physical development. When pigs didn't receive enough vitamin A, they were born without eyes. If you started telling parents your kids will be short, ugly, blind, and fat because of their diet, they might consider changing their habits, but that sounds crazy to most people. You know what's not crazy? The fact that wild animals on their natural diets, wolves, dogs, cats don't suffer from any of these physical ailments or degenerative diseases like we do. Obesity, heart disease, diabetes, the improper physical development can be from a lack of nutrients in the breast milk or any prenatal stage, even the health of the sperm and the egg, the first few months of pregnancy, and then nutrients throughout every stage of development in someone's life are very important until they're about 25 years old. Animals have more of a tolerance to survive famine, but nature is not kind to children. Nature doesn't care if you just gave birth, if a flood comes and wipes out your crops. What happened years and years ago? We are lacking nutrients that were present in every single hunter-gatherer group contributing to the health of these indigenous people, whether it's their physical development or absence of degenerative disease. They consumed much larger amounts of vitamins, minerals, elements, and fatty acids that we could ever hope to achieve on our modern diets. This is because of the food quality and the much higher animal food consumption. Vitamin A, B, C, D, E and K2, omega fatty acids as well, are all present in breast milk in varying amounts. And the only way, the only way to increase the amount of these nutrients in breast milk is to consume the animal form of the vitamin as the plant forms are not highly bioavailable to the body. Beta-carotene conversion into retinol, vitamin A, is inefficient and some people can't do it at all. It's a very large percentage of the population actually, at least a quarter. Plant foods don't contain certain B vitamins. Vitamin D3 from the sun requires cholesterol to be metabolized in the body. Vitamin K2 is only present in animal foods and fermented animal foods in considerable amounts. I know there is natto, but natto is a modern food that didn't exist hundreds to thousands of years ago. It's just a modern man-made food that people are using as an excuse not to eat animal foods. Omega fatty acids cannot be converted efficiently from plant foods. Hypothetically, you could supplement some of these nutrients, but I think the only person cruel enough to gamble their child's well-being on a laboratory supplement is a vegan. And I want it to be clear, breast milk versus formula is not always cut and dry.  I think breastfeeding would contribute to a much better microbiome in general, but physical development wise, they'll still have crooked teeth, poor eyesight, and short stature. So you need to get nutrients even if you're breastfeeding. It's not just like, oh, breastfeeding, my child's going to be healthy, not even close to that. Here is a study showing that consuming vitamins in the diet increases vitamin levels in breast milk, particularly B vitamins and vitamin A. One really alarming statistic is that DHA in human breast milk can vary from 0.06% to 1.4%. That is over a 20-fold variance. The highest concentration of DHA, being in coastal populations, highly associated with marine food consumption. Taking DHA supplements was shown to increase DHA levels from 0.15 to 0.23, but not nearly the level of what we see in people consuming a diet high in fish. We know that serum retinol, vitamin A, correlates to vitamin A content of breast milk. Being contained in animal foods like liver. This is completely crazy because they literally warn pregnant women not to eat liver, not to consume too much vitamin A, yet we need it. The reason they're warning women not to consume vitamin A is because we don't have enough of the other vitamins and they all work together. They're synergistic. For B vitamins, a drastic variance can be seen as well. Vitamin D deficiency results in lack of vitamin D in breast milk. Also, season of birth is associated with birth weight, pubertal timing, adult body size, height, and educational attainment, indicating the importance of sun exposure for vitamin D during pregnancy. Many infants are deficient in vitamin K and we know vitamin K too is the most available form. These nutrients absolutely need to be obtained from animal foods. A consumers had higher intakes of many nutrients contributing significantly to their diets. Milk and protein intake greatly contributed to fetal growth. Not to mention, lowering cholesterol reduces fetal circulation in mid-pregnancy, indicating a lack of nutrients being delivered to the fetus. Think about how our ancestors lived. Most of them survived the winter. Spring and summer came, they got pregnant, nursed themselves off of the animal foods that are in prime nutrition during late summer and early fall when the animals are fat and rich with nutrients. They stored up vitamin D3 from the spring and summer sun. Then they gave birth next year when the sun comes back out again and nutrition becomes present. Soaring nutrients for the winter and then as soon as the baby is born they are back to a thriving environment. But we never get those nutrients in our modern day lives. We are in a chronic state of winter nutrition where animal foods are anti-nutrients and plant foods aren't anti-nutrients because of how we are raising our foods. Thank you guys for joining me. The pregnancy, the breastfeeding thing is something that sits very close to my heart as the reason I firmly believe my sister is mentally disabled is because of a lack of nutrients during developmental stages and not just my sister. Every single person in the world, I saw some poor girl on Reddit the other day with a facial deformation and it really breaks my heart to see this kind of stuff and this is the reason I make videos every day. This is the reason I don't sleep. This is the reason I work so hard. So although at times I feel like I'm not making much of an impact and things are very difficult for me in the long run, if there's a chance that I can help people in this aspect and prevent this from happening to anyone and having miserable, sick, unhappy lives, I will do whatever it takes to achieve that. So if you guys could please share this video. If you haven't subscribed to my channel, please do. Like the video. It helps to get more views. Definitely hit that bell icon if you want to be notified of my videos every day as well as my very frequent live streams. If you guys would like to support me further, I started Frankie's Free Range Meat with these ambitions as well, providing the highest quality animal foods at an affordable price. Go to frankiesfreerangemeat.com to check out naturally raised meats, raw dairy, caviar. You can also check out Frankie's Naturals, Minimal Ingredients, Minimally Processed Hygiene and Cosmetic Products. It's not only a lack of nutrients. There are a lot of pollutants in our environment and some of the products I'm making are alleviating deodorant fluoride. There was just a study on fluoride a few weeks ago that showed that children that consumed fluoride had a lower IQ. Our modern world is destroying us and I'm trying to help fix it.


Well hello my friends and welcome back to my channel and today we are talking about a newish planner. I have had one of these in the past. I will link that video up in a card wherever it goes. I don't know. But I have seen one of these last year and I wanted to share again. This company is called Personal Planner and they reached out to me to help out with their back to school campaign. I know I've had one of these in the past so I said sure why not. Also there's going to be a discount code. I will put that in the description down below and right on the screen right here for you guys as well as there's going to be something kind of fun coming up at the very end. But one of the gals over there Amelia shout out to Amelia if you're watching. Hi she wanted me to just pick out some of the things that I really liked on the website to show you guys and then I just wanted to go into all of the goodies that are here. So first things first when I saw these on the website I knew I wanted to grab one of these. This is a cover. This is the classic A5 size and they have a couple of different colors. This one is the black. There's also brown and pink and like a mint color and a soft purple which is really really pretty. I can just show you what I'm looking at here because I have this up. But this is the one that I got the imitation leather which is $26.95 and then there's the calf skin and then there's a black calf skin. So this is like the brown and then there's a pink and the mint and the purple. So there's lots of really cool designs. They also come in different sizes. So there's a mini square wide and then the classic A5 which is what I got. So this cover alone retails for $26.95. It's got like the little holes in the back so you can put a bungee cord on there. It does ask you I believe when you check out what color you want. So I decided to go for white but then you can put your planner in there. My planner is already in here but it's really nice. It has all of these pockets. This came with it. It's just like to show that you can put like cards or anything like that in there. I have right now I've got some like stickers. I could put some stickers in there like this which is nice. Or I have some other stickers sitting over here too. I can always like slip those into this little pocket too if I wanted to. But yeah it fits the A5 size perfectly. I did get a bungee for the back of this as well. You don't have to put that on there if you don't want to but I decided to do that. And then on the back side it looks exactly the same. This does not open on the back side just like FYI. I know it's kind of hard to see because it's black but this doesn't open on this side. The only pocket that opens is on this side right here. It also has a little pen loop which is great. I'm gonna put my little Aaron Condren marker in there at the moment. So yeah you can just kind of close this baby up. And that's what it looks like. You can take your little bungee and go like that. But I just saw this cover and I was like I feel like I need that in my life. It's so pretty and it's just so basic and I really liked it.  So like I said before this cover is the classic A5 size. So my planner is a classic A5 size as well. So when you go on their website there are several different options to look and see what size you know that you would want in your planner. So I chose the classic A5 which is 39.95. And then you know there's lots of different ones. You can just select the one you want. And then also there's lots of different designs. I actually chose a design. It's hard to see. Let me let me pull it up again. I chose a design that they actually had on their website. But there's lots of different options that you can do. So it's kind of this like wintery theme because it's basically winter like half the year here in Minnesota. So I chose this one which I think looks nice. You can also personalize it with like a little personalization right here. I elected not to do that. But okay so when you open up the book and this is made of like a I don't know it's like a really it's glossy but it's like really heavy. I wouldn't even call it I don't know it's like not card stock but it's not I don't know it's paper. It's like some sort of paper but it's very glossy. Seems like it would be really durable too because it's like the high shine or whatever. So when you open this guy up so on this side it has a little information about the company. It's made in Sweden. And then we or we me myself and I right. Then you also get this little guy or did I purchase this separately? I can't remember. But this is one of those items that is like all like all the teeth and stuff are open. So you can kind of put it wherever you want. So I decided I wanted to put it up in the front and then I also got some sticker sheets. I don't believe the stickers come with the planner. I think these were a separate item. But they came as like a really big sheet but they had these like perforated lines and like this one like this one has a perforated line in it. I just haven't taken them out like that. But yeah so I got two different sticker sheets of all of these. You can definitely use these in the planner or use your own stickers or not use stickers at all. Which I think is totally fine. But love this for sticker storage or receipts or anything else that your little heart desires could go in there. Okay so now that out that's all in there. And then the next page you can personalize this as well. And that just has my YouTube name favorite daughter Emily. And then here is the layout that I chose. So this is the very end of 2018 working into the whole year of 2019. You can customize so much stuff with this. Like I don't even really want to like show you on the phone because it's just it's a lot to look at. So I do highly encourage you guys to go on their website and take a peek if you are so interested. But this one is an hourly version. So it goes from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. which I think is really nice because I do use a regular Aaron Condren life planner in the hourly version in my normal daily life. However I know a lot of people gripe about the hours that they want something that goes later in the day and things like that. This is definitely something that could possibly work for somebody that's looking for that. There is a larger version as well and not necessarily this A5 size. I think it's like an A6 I think it was but it's a whole lot bigger than this. And then you can customize the interior however you want. I remember when I placed the order that I could put this up here too which actually matches the front cover or I could leave it blank or put a different you know color or something like that in there. You could also customize I think you could customize the actual like colors of the dates I want to say. I'm not sure it's just really interesting. And then like down at the bottom you could put like little habit trackers and things like that.  So on the left hand side you could customize a whole bunch of things in here like habit trackers and things you want to keep track of like your mileage or water consumption or like I don't know whatever you want to do. And then over here I kept a couple of different things. So like to do this week I thought would be really good because you can put down like a couple of different tasks and then check them off as you go. And then I like I liked this I liked this little monthly view of the month we're in. So you could kind of like if someone's like oh in December what day is this or you know actually this is like a really bad example. Let's go to January. So like in January if you're on this week and you're like oh well what day was the third and you're you can look at it and say oh that was a Thursday. You know like you can kind of take a peek at that. So anyway I do like that a lot. Saturday and Sunday are all in one column. Some people love that some people don't but that's just the way that this layout is. You can elect not to have the hours in here at all. So I mean there's so many different versions of layouts that you can take a peek at. Also it says the month and the year and then over here it says week 52. So it tells you what week you are in the specific year. Also there is a monthly view. So in January 2019 here is the complete monthly view. I believe you could also elect to have holidays in there if I remember right. I think that was it. I ordered this a while ago you guys I'm sorry but there are so many really great options on this website. So just mess around with it a little bit and the really cool thing too is when you select an option the view of the image changes. So I find that really helpful to someone that maybe isn't the most visual. So it's like oh yeah that's what it's going to look like. So anyway and then here is December through January. So we're in week one. So this is December 31 and January one and again everything looks the same. So you're going to have as many weeks as you can rolling through here and then you will get into your February month. There are no tabs or anything for your actual monthly views. However you could very very easily put little adhesive tabs or something like that if you wanted them on there. Also another thing that you could do is like the thing in the back here. If you use one of these covers or even if you don't you could always you know put this wherever you are. You know what I mean? I don't know. So yeah and then obviously on the monthly view also there's like a little list there too which is nice. So yeah you've got January through December in here and then another thing is hold on let me show you here. In lieu of doing the little tabs there are these little guys here. So this tells you like what month it's in the different colors of the rainbow. So it's like January February March April May June July August September October November and December. So you can see them and you can say oh I need to get into like April which is the fourth month and you can grab the yellow and you can just you know open it like that and then you're in April. So anyway it's just like a little fun design idea instead of the tabs but if you're into tabs you could very easily put them on there. So anyway that is it for the inside of The Guts Guts but there are a ton more options with your extra pages. So let me show you what I elected to put into mine. So here is my overview for 2019. I really wanted to have this because I thought that this would be a great thing to have when you're like looking forward into the year. So it does have it categorized by month or not by month. Yeah obviously it's categorized by month but it's categorized also by week on the page with the red markings right here. So it tells you what week you're in which is great. It also has like Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday so you know what date it is. So if you got some like trips coming up if you've got like school activities or kids stuff or other commitments you can just put those things down like when you're looking forward to things. Also a nice thing is like it tells you like this is Easter Sunday and then like this is Father's Day and Memorial Day so like you know where they land on the year so then when you're trying to plan like vacation say you always get Memorial Day off on work to say oh well that'd be a great like long weekend or whatever like let's go do something fun with the family or whatever like you can kind of like look forward into that. So anyway this is 2019 and then also this is the rest of 2019 and then I liked it to also put 2020 in there because how often do we get like invitations to things that are happening really far in advance like family trips and weddings and things like that that you just know is coming up but you're like ooh I can't remember you can always just take a marker or even take like a little sticky note and put in like oh we're thinking of going on a cruise in mid-April of 2020. So you can kind of like just slate that in a little bit and then when 2020 happens then you can kind of set up everything if you haven't already fully decided on your dates and things like that or follow up with things. So anyways so that's 2020 and then the rest of 2020 and then I also elected to have some notes pages. Notes pages are totally my jam and I can't wait to share with you guys some fun things that are happening on my channel for our notes pages but that's coming up hopefully in the next couple of weeks. So anyway these are just some lined note pages and I got to tell you like the the paper is very nice and thick and sturdy. Like I said before I use an air incandronum in normal daily life so this feels a little thicker than the air incandron paper just as like a sidebar. So I just wanted you guys to know that. I've got quite a few of the lined pages and then I also elected to have some graph pages in here as well so love a little grid page and then it's got like some bigger grids as well as some smaller grids inside of those grids. So I love that I mean because you can still you know take notes with these no problem and then the very back page is also like a grid page and then it's got our back design which is the same as the front design and then it's also covered by this plastic. Oh and I should say hold on let's pull this completely out here. There we go. The front also has the plastic over it too so this will definitely hold up really really well and then if you don't want to get the cover you can always just you know go for it like this because that makes a lot of sense. Also another thing that I decided to get was this ruler because I thought a ruler is awesome plus like for cutting washi or anything like that it's nice to just have a ruler or if you want to like you know back in your notes pages if you want to do something with a ruler I don't know but I figured in the front is good so that's where I wanted to keep this. There are different colors of the ruler too I believe this is the gray or silver I can't remember the name of it it's not the clear one and I think there's like a blue I want to say and maybe a green I'm not sure but there's a couple of different ruler options so anyway that is a look at this planner in all of its glory.
