When I was thinking of leaving teaching and setting up Wildcraft, I visited as many breweries as I could. I was desperate to glean information, to work out how you jump from a small setup in the shed (my other half would say all over the house) to 100's of litres at a time and most importantly, trying to work out if was something I could achieve. I met some great people along the way and some very good brewers but the ultimate piece of advice that many wanted to pass on was 'Don't do it!'.
Now, for those of you that know me, the easiest way to get me to try something is by telling me not too but in this case, I thought I had better investigate further...
Reason 1: 'Your life will be taken over by it'. I will be honest, this was something that really didn't phase me. I remember sitting one night in the living room, laptop on my lap, marking students work. My other half was a mirror image, sitting across the room and I said, quite innocently how I wished I could be out of education running my own brewery. 'But you will be working all sorts of hours' was the reply. She obviously didn't see the irony of what she was saying as we both then continued to work well into the night!
As it is, yes, the place has taken over my life but thats ok, it will for the first few years but its all part of making sure we do this right! The main difference is that I am myself again, teaching was killing me, I had lost sight of who I was and why I was doing things, I was constantly grumpy and depressed... Not any more!
Reason 2: 'You will just be a glorified caretaker'. To be fair, this one is a true one! I spend more time cleaning the place than doing anything else (although you wouldn't know it sometimes) and this can become quite monotonous. Having said that, I have been the maker of my own demise here, why wouldn't I put a lovely light coloured floor paint in here which shows up every mark, footprint and stain?
Reason 3: 'Its not as easy as you think, its a big jump'. Well excuse my language but no s**t sherlock. I never expected it to be easy, I was well aware that recipes don't just work first time and that going from a small brew to a big doesn't always transfer how you would think. But thats all part of the fun of it, experimenting, finding the best flavours and making something from them. Believe me, we have plenty of unlabelled bottles in the cold room that were experiments that may or may not have gone well.
Reason 4: 'Its a crowded market'. This one is very true, that's where I needed something different... Thankfully, I was already planning on using foraged ingredients so this one was thrown out before I had even got past my first half pint!
And that was it... They were the reasons I and maybe you, if you are thinking of setting up, shouldn't do it. Having taken those on board, I went ahead and did it anyway and am so thankful that I did. Even as I sit here now, typing this in a barn that is currently 3 degrees, I think to myself one thing, its so much better than teaching!!

I lost over $100,000 in an investment trading company last year; I was down because the company refused to let me make withdrawals and kept asking for more money…. My friend in the military introduced me to a recovery agent ENCASE CRYPTO RECOVERY with the email address encaserecovery@mail.com and he’s been really helpful, he made a successful recovery of 95% of my investment in less than 24 hours, I’m so grateful to him.

As I sit down to reflect on the past few months, I can’t help but feel a mix of anger, betrayal, and disbelief. I was one of the many Canadians who fell victim to the Maple Leaf Digital Growth Fund, a scheme that promised a seemingly irresistible 5% monthly return on investments. At first, it sounded like a golden opportunity, especially in a world where traditional savings accounts barely keep up with inflation. Little did I know that I was stepping into a trap that would cost me and my friends dearly.It all started when my close friend, Mark, approached me with the idea. He had been raving about the fund, sharing how he had already made a
WhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234 significant profit. Mark was always the savvy investor in our circle, and his enthusiasm was contagious. He convinced me and a few others that this was a chance we couldn’t afford to miss. We trusted him, and that trust led us to invest a combined total of $4.7 million, with each of us believing we were making a smart financial decision.As the months went by, the returns came in as promised, and I felt a sense of relief and excitement. I even encouraged a couple of my colleagues to invest, thinking I was helping them secure their financial futures. However, everything changed when withdrawals were suddenly suspended. Panic set in as we tried to access our funds, only to be met with vague excuses and delays. It was then that the reality hit us: we had been duped.When PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY stepped in, I felt a glimmer of hope. Their team of recovery specialists quickly identified the operation as a Ponzi scheme, revealing that the returns we had received were simply payments made from the investments of newer participants. I was devastated. The realization that I had not only lost my money but had also influenced others to invest was a heavy burden to bear.Their skills were apparent as they navigated the intricacies of the case. When they revealed that they had successfully retrieved all the funds, a profound sense of relief washed over me. Such a positive outcome is uncommon in these scenarios, and I felt immense gratitude for their hard work.This ordeal has imparted a crucial lesson about the necessity of thorough research and skepticism in the investment landscape. I’ve come to realize that if an opportunity seems too good to be true, it often is. I’ve learned to exercise greater caution when it comes to encouraging others in financial decisions. I’m thankful to have my money restored.

My name is Billy Harlan from Texas, USA. I was targeted by a group of individuals who ended up stealing a significant amount of money from me through crypto and Bitcoin.
It all began about two months ago when I received an email promising high returns if I invested in crypto and forex. They presented detailed earnings reports and trading charts that looked very convincing. Looking back, I can admit it was easy to believe.
At the time, I had no idea I was being set up. I started by investing just $5,000 and my within two weeks, I had invested $218,000. However, they claimed my investment had grown to $703,000. To this day, I’m still shocked at how they were able to convince me to invest that much.
Once I realized it was a scam, I contacted the authorities but unfortunately, there was nothing they could do to recover the funds. Not willing to give up, I reached out to a few friends. One of them recommended Morphohack, a private investigator and fund recovery team.
Their team was incredibly helpful and professional. Morphohack worked hard to help me recover my funds, and I’m very grateful for their support. I’m sharing this in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, there are people out there who can help and you can reach them by email: Morphohack@cyberservices(.)com
