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

    As an architect in Texas, I was excited to begin remodeling my new home. I had big plans to transform the space into something perfect, after months of research, I selected what seemed to be a reputable construction company. They came highly recommended, with a professional portfolio and impressive credentials. After an initial consultation, I felt confident they were the right choice for the job. Unfortunately, things quickly went south. As the project progressed, the quality of the work was disappointing, and the timeline kept slipping. Payments had already been made, and I noticed the progress was extremely slow with little visible results. I had paid a substantial sum of $8,700 for the work, and all I had to show for it was a half-completed project. Worse, the contractor became difficult to reach, and communication became increasingly erratic. It didn’t take long for me to realize something was off. I started to suspect that I was being taken advantage of, and the situation quickly escalated from frustrating to worrying. It dawned on me that I might be dealing with a fraudulent company. At this point, I was desperate to recover my money and avoid losing any more. I reached out to Digital resolution services for assistance, hoping they could help me navigate the situation. Digital resolution services acted quickly. Their team thoroughly investigated the construction company and uncovered a history of fraudulent activities. It turned out that the company had scammed several homeowners before, using fake credentials and disappearing after taking large deposits. With their expert assistance, I was able to dispute the charge with my credit card company and initiate the process of recovering my funds. Thanks to Digital resolution services, I was able to recover the full $8,700 I had spent. The relief I felt when I got all my money back was indescribable. Not only did Digital resolution services help me recover the funds, but they also empowered me to hire a legitimate contractor to finish the remodeling work. This ensured that my vision for the home could finally be realized, without the looming financial loss. This experience taught me a hard lesson about thoroughly vetting contractors and being cautious with large deposits. I am incredibly grateful to Digital resolution services for their support and expertise, which allowed me to get my hard-earned money back and move forward with my project. I want to say a big thank you to the team at Digital resolution services.

    Reach out to them for any kind of problems you may find yourself, they are there to help 100%.

    VERIFIED CRYPTOCURRENCY RESTORATION/FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.

    As a designer, I’m always on the lookout for new tools to improve my workflow. So, when I saw an ad on LinkedIn for a “revolutionary” design software, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. The ad promised to streamline my design process with amazing features at an unbeatable price. Without a second thought, I clicked the link and made the purchase. But soon after buying the software, I realized it was a scam. The software never worked as promised, and when I tried to reach out for support, the company vanished without a trace. I was left feeling frustrated and powerless. 5,000 NZD, a significant amount for anyone, especially a freelancer, was gone, and there was no way to get it back… or so I thought. I was at a loss for what to do next. That’s when I discovered FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY. At first, I wasn’t sure if they could help. Could anyone actually recover money lost to online scams? But, desperate and with no other options, I decided to reach out. I contacted FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY, they explained the process in detail, reassured me that they would do everything in their power to recover my funds, and kept me updated every step of the way. To my amazement, just two days after I reached out, they successfully recovered 4,800 NZD of the 5,000 NZD I had lost. The relief I felt when I saw that money back in my account was indescribable. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Since then, I’ve made it a point to share my experience with other designers in the community. I want to raise awareness about the scams that are out there and remind others to be cautious when browsing for new software. Scammers can target anyone, even professionals like us. But I also want to let fellow designers know that if they do fall victim to fraud, they don’t have to give up. FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY is there to help. Now, I always tell others: Be skeptical of ads that seem too good to be true, especially on platforms like LinkedIn. But if you do get scammed, there’s hope. Don’t hesitate to contact FOLKWINEXPERTRECOVERYTECH-CENTER. CO M, (WhatsApp): +1 (740)705-0711. They helped me get my money back in just two days, and they can help you too.
    Warm greetings,
    Mr. Gilbert Jonathan

    I never imagined that I would become a victim of cryptocurrency fraud, but unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened. I had been investing in Bitcoin for a while and felt confident in my ability to identify legitimate opportunities. However, I fell for a sophisticated scam that resulted in me losing a significant amount of Bitcoin. It was a devastating experience—I felt helpless, frustrated, and unsure of what to do next. WhatsApp: +19 (20408) 1234

    After trying everything I could to get my funds back—contacting the fraudulent platform, filing complaints, and even reaching out to law enforcement—I began to lose hope. That’s when I started researching crypto recovery services and came across PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY, a company with a solid reputation for helping victims of crypto fraud retrieve their lost funds.

However, after thoroughly checking their background, reading genuine testimonials, and speaking with their team, I felt reassured.
