P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"My current job is a traveling jeweler. A traveling jeweler's typical day would involve either A, hitchhiking around and getting to see the country and/or setting up shop, which is basically for me, wrapping stones with individual wires. I take and I make intricate jewelry with stones and gems, and I display them. And there are different interests for my clientele. One could be a vanity of wearing it to have a specific look. One would be to help out an individual, one who is just inspired by an individual going around and taking control of their life, and traveling and seeing the world. So, they want help support that in a way that they benefit by getting a nice piece of jewelry, and I benefit by having funds for which to travel. You have individuals who are spiritually seeking metaphysical properties of certain stones, certain crystals, certain gems. So, that's most of my clientele, is individuals who have metaphysical wants and desires that they are trying to fulfill. I've been traveling for about nine years now, hitchhiking around the country. This particular line of work is actually new to me. I love all arts of all different kinds. This is only one art form that I have performed with in ways to be able to travel, and get around, and to have funds. I've also done visual art paintings. I do a lot of sewing, t-shirts, hand-made all different sorts of stuff, macrame, hemp work necklaces, guitar, everything, even balloon animal making, and everything between. This just happens to be one particular interest of mine. I've learned a lot through individuals who have come up to me asking and seeking specific stones. And so, I've learned a lot of metaphysical properties of said stones that they're looking for, things that I did not know before. I've learned a lot of meditation practices through jewelry making. I use it as a form of meditation, not necessarily as a career or as a job, but it's a byproduct is that I find funds within it. I've learned to appreciate making a living and not a profit. I've learned to really, really, really appreciate the natural beauty that's around me, and the different intricate forms that such simple compounds can make up.
