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

    A few months ago, shortly after going through a difficult divorce, I connected with someone online who introduced me to cryptocurrency investing. He appeared knowledgeable and trustworthy, and based on his guidance, I decided to invest nearly $500,000. Unfortunately, when I later attempted to access the account to withdraw both my initial investment and the expected returns, I realized I had been locked out. It became painfully clear that I had been the victim of a scam.

    I promptly reported the incident to the FBI and provided all the necessary documentation. While they took the matter seriously, they were ultimately unable to recover the funds.
    Thankfully, a coworker referred me to ICON Asset Recovery. I contacted them and shared all the details of my case. They were responsive, professional, and compassionate from the very beginning. To my immense relief, they were able to recover the full amount I had lost within just a few weeks.
    I’m truly grateful for their expertise and support throughout what was a deeply stressful experience. If anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to ICON Asset Recovery. They gave me hope when I thought all was lost and most importantly, they helped me get my money back.

    One ordinary day at work, while sorting through my emails, one message jumped out at me. The subject line read: “Incredible Inheritance Opportunity!” My curiosity got the better of me, and I opened it. The email appeared professional and was supposedly from an attorney representing a distant relative I had never heard of. According to the message, this relative had passed away and left me an astonishing inheritance—500,000 in Bitcoin.

    My heart raced at the thought. Could this really be happening? The email went on to explain that to access the funds, I needed to pay a $15,000 legal processing fee. I was skeptical at first—it sounded too good to be true. But the idea of financial freedom clouded my better judgment. I began to imagine what that money could do: pay off debts, travel the world, and finally pursue my dreams without financial worry. WhatsApp info: +12 (72332)—8343

    Fueled by hope and desperation, I convinced myself this was legitimate. I scraped together the money and made the payment—nervous, but excited. This, I believed, was my breakthrough moment.

    But shortly after I sent the funds, everything unraveled. The “attorney” vanished. The email address bounced back as invalid. Panic set in. I realized I had been scammed. Email info: Adware recovery specialist @ auctioneer. net

    Desperate to fix the situation, I reached out to ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, a firm known for helping victims of online fraud. They were empathetic and reassured me that I wasn’t alone—many people fall for similar cryptocurrency-based scams. They launched an investigation, and after several weeks, they traced the scam to a notorious syndicate operating out of Eastern Europe. Telegram info: adwarerecoveryspecialist5656

    Although I was only able to recover $6,000 of what I’d lost, the experience taught me a life-changing lesson about online safety and the importance of skepticism, especially when something seems too good to be true. Website info: h t t p s:// adware recovery specialist. com

    Now, I share my story to warn others. In today’s digital world, where opportunities and threats often look the same, staying informed and cautious is more important than ever.
