P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"I love creating awareness for this charity. And I do love helping to create some sort of common conscience about doing good in the world. And I like talking to people. I like being personable. And I really want to empower people to do something good and start having people spend their money in more appropriate places or places that'll have a more sustainable affect. Convincing strangers that there are people that are truly trying to do good, because there is a lot of mistrust. And obviously cynicism is my least favorite quality in this world. It gets nobody anywhere. And I do believe if we just let our guards down for a second, that good things can happen. I think if you walk around this planet with a closed fist, no one can put cool things in your hand. A key decision, I'm not saying it was a good or bad decision, a key decision to getting myself where I am now is to not really believe in luck, but believe that good preparation and waiting for an opportunity, and taking that opportunity will get you to the right path. Now, it's not very difficult to find work in the bottom levels. It is difficult to sustain the job, and continually keep it fresh for yourself and for others, and those people that you do interact with. Because I'm now higher up, because I'm more in the managerial sect of it, work is about 40 to 45 hours per week for someone in my position. Fortunately, I work with some of the coolest people I've ever met. I'll consider them to be my friends. So it is a part of my life while I'm here, and then I also have a personal life back home where I get to be reclusive again, and write music, and write poetry, or write prose.
