0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer
0:12.0	Jason to Philipo. Here at the Art of Charm we may not have all the answers but we certainly
0:17.0	have some of the questions. And today on Fanmell Friday, those questions come from you.
0:21.3	Alright, let's cut to it Jay.
0:23.0	Hi Jordan, I'm 28 years old. I have a great job and a serious boyfriend of six years.
0:28.1	Those are overall going great and I feel like I'm on the path to success. But I feel
0:33.0	like the clock is ticking in my window for quote unquote big adventures is narrowing

1:23.8	not sure about your choice of character on this one, but it's okay. We get we get a lot
1:29.3	worse, I guess that's true. This is a tough one though, man. You know, what do you think
1:33.5	Jason? For me, I did travel a lot when I was younger. So it's kind of easy for me to be
1:37.8	like, well, you know, you don't need to do that. You're good because I already got all
1:42.6	out of my system. It seems a little hypocritical. Yeah. For you, you think it's a tough one.
