0:00.0	I started Start Today in 2019 and the very first product that I made was the Start Today Journal.
0:08.0	So I would love to tell you all about the journal and why I believe in this product so much. I want to tell you
0:14.8	why hundreds of thousands of people believe in it too. I want to tell you about the
