Update From Jake

To everyone, 

It's your pal Jake with an exciting update.

As most of you know, I founded Great Bear Wax Co. as a way to capture the memories of where I’m from. Sharing stories by the campfire, hitting the trail, and spending time in nature. Every scent we have is deeply meaningful to me.

As I look back on the past 8 years, I very fondly remember taking candles from shop to shop asking owners to buy in to this new project I had. I think about loading the car full of candles, tents, Piper pup, and myself, to make the trek from Birmingham to Joshua Tree after being invited to vend at a festival in the desert. I have dear friends in New York, Montana, California, and just about everywhere else in America because of these candles. I am unbelievably grateful for what it has provided me thus far and very humbled by all of you who have supported us since 2013.

Though running Great Bear has been the challenge and delight of my adult life, last year I started feeling ready to explore other passions. While stepping away from something you made is a very difficult decision, I found the right partners to continue the Great Bear legacy and the perfect crew to take the business to the next level.

I’m still involved with Great Bear in a consultant capacity, but I hope you get to know the new owners – The Leitners and The Houstons. I am very excited for this brand to live on with them, their families, and with you in your homes.

I sincerely hope you continue to burn bear in your home. I know I will. 

I will love you forever for taking this journey with me,

Jake

    I never thought my grandmother’s book club would save my crypto fortune, but life is full of surprises. In the mayhem of moving into a new apartment, I mislaid my hardware wallet containing $400,000 in Bitcoin. I had packed it securely-at least, that’s what I thought-but after unpacking every single box, it was nowhere to be found. First, I kept my cool. It had to be here somewhere, right? But when hours turned into days, my confidence crumbled. I tore through bags, checked jacket pockets; I even looked in the fridge in sheer desperation. Nothing. Next came panic: Had I thrown it out accidentally? Had the movers taken it? I couldn’t get this vision out of my head that somehow my fortune had poofed into thin air. Frustrated and exhausted, I mentioned my predicament to my grandmother during a phone call. Instead of the usual “You should be more careful” speech, she surprised me. Oh, I’ve heard of a company that helps with that!" she said cheerfully. I almost dropped the phone. My grandma knew about crypto recovery? Turns out, her book club had a guest speaker, a retired cybersecurity expert who raved about Digital resolution services. She even remembered their website. At this point, I would have tried everything. I contacted them, and from the first conversation, I knew I was in good hands. Their staff was professional and patient, above all confident. They asked for detailed questions relating to my wallet, where I last saw it, and how it was backed up. Days later, they cracked the case. Using forensic data recovery and some advanced tracking techniques, they helped me regain access to my lost Bitcoin. It was a feeling of relief that cannot be described because I went from utter dejection to pure joy in a moment. More than a recovery service, Digital resolution services taught me something: never underestimate grandma’s wisdom. Now, my hardware wallet is stored safely, with multiple backups, and I will never forget this lesson: when Nana talks, I will listen.

    Don’t fall victim, reach out to Digital resolution services for any cryptocurrency related issues.

    It was a cold February evening in 2025 when I realized I’d made a terrible mistake. I’d sunk 4 Bitcoin my entire crypto savings into what I thought was a promising investment opportunity I’d found through a flashy ad on X. The platform promised sky-high returns, and the testimonials seemed legit. But weeks passed, my dashboard showed no profits, and when I tried to withdraw, the site locked me out. My 4 BTC, worth a small fortune, was gone. I felt sick. Desperate, I turned to internet forums, posting about my ordeal in a crypto thread. That’s when i saw someone talked about  Alpha Spy Nest Recovery, a name I’d never heard before. Skeptical but out of options, I messaged them. Within hours, a rep named Alex responded, asking for details: the site URL, transaction IDs, and screenshots I’d thankfully kept. He warned me it’d be tough, scammers were getting slicker but they’d try. Alpha Spy Nest wasn’t your typical recovery outfit. Alex explained they were a team of ex-hackers and blockchain sleuths who’d turned their skills to hunting down crypto crooks. They used forensic tools to trace my BTC through the blockchain, even as the scammers tried to launder it through mixers. Meanwhile, their web team dug into the fake site, finding it linked to a known scam ring operating out of Eastern Europe. Days later “Good news. We’ve got a lead.” Using a mix of legal pressure and some clever tech I didn’t fully understand, they’d tracked my coins to an exchange where the scammers had slipped up. Alpha Spy Nest coordinated with the exchange to freeze the funds, and after a nerve-wracking verification process, 3.8 BTC minus their fee hit . I stared at my screen, stunned. The relief was overwhelming. Alpha Spy Nest Recovery didn’t just save my money; they restored my faith in fighting back. I never thought I’d see that 4 Bitcoin again, but thanks to their grit and know-how, I did.

    In October 2024, I was offered a job opportunity with a well-known tech company called TechPioneers UK, based in Manchester, UK. The role sounded like a dream working as a project manager with an attractive salary and a flexible schedule. The job listing promised excellent benefits, and after a brief interview conducted over email, I was given an offer. The opportunity seemed legitimate, and I felt incredibly fortunate to have been selected. However, things started to take a suspicious turn when I was asked to send £12,000 to cover supposed background checks and training fees. I was told that the payment would be refunded once the training was completed. Despite my growing unease, the professionalism of the company’s communication, coupled with the promise of a lucrative career, convinced me to proceed. After wiring the money to an international bank account, I received a series of generic emails detailing what appeared to be pre-recorded training materials. They asked for my personal details and confirmed that I would be working with a specific team, though no actual work was ever provided. Days turned into weeks, and I began to feel that something was seriously wrong. It wasn’t until the company stopped responding to my emails and my training never materialized that I realized I had been scammed. My heart sank. I had lost my hard-earned £12,000, and worst of all, I felt completely deceived. Desperate to recover my funds and get some closure, I turned to Rapid Digital Recovery, a reputable online recovery service that specializes in fraud cases like mine. Their team quickly sprang into action. They were highly professional and methodical in tracing the scammer’s activities. Within a few weeks, they not only identified the fraudulent operation behind TechPioneers UK, but they also managed to recover the full £12,000 I had sent. Thanks to Rapid Digital Recovery, I regained the full amount I had lost. Their swift action and thorough investigation were a huge relief. I felt like I had regained control of a situation that initially made me feel helpless. The team kept me informed throughout the process and made sure I felt supported at every stage. Their expertise not only helped me recover my money but also restored my confidence in navigating online job searches. Today, I’m much more cautious when applying for online positions and have become more vigilant in researching companies before committing any personal or financial details. Thanks to Rapid Digital Recovery, I will never fall victim to such scams again.
