Talk about how you can use data science to scale your marketing campaigns. So, Hey Jake, how are you doing today? I'm wonderful. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, I am awesome to dig into this topic a little bit. We're talking before the show about, but a few proposed topics and the Xi learning and data science. I feel like this is a new we're in 2020. There's a lot of new things going on, but this is kind of the new hotness right on using with we've now pulled all this data. Charles (01:08): Right. And I feel like everyone's kind of getting a sense of yeah, you can like get all this stuff and now it's like, what do we do with this? So, yes. Yeah. So what do you guys, so first you, so your product, right? Usually don't go into the product the beginning, but it's just kind of interesting right on you guys basically hook into a lot of different pieces of data and start predicting what customers basically gonna want before they know they want it.

And so, you know, well, how do you find the customers that buy those products that turn quickly? Well, now we're trying to map the inventory to the customer data. Charles (02:32): So a lot of that has kind of just drawn those correlations and help them customers see what's possible off these assets. They already kind of already own. Yeah. I feel like a lot of this, even I was looking at something that I did with, ah, just like ad attribution and there's still, it's really tough, right? Because there's the same,
