This week we are joined by Shopify Merchant Jake Starr, Founder of Recycled Firefighter!
Jake was a full-time firefighter working over 72 hours a week, when he realised that even with overtime pay I wasn't making enough money to support my growing family. With 10 years of firefighter experience under his belt it was time to venture into something new, teaching himself how to sew, and grew his Shopify business into the extra income that he desperately needed.
