Dearest Sriracha Freaks,
Welcome to Love Hard, Inc. - the new home of Jojo's Sriracha and former Love of Jojo, Inc.
Why the new name? When I named my company Love of Jojo, Inc. in 2012 it was just that - me making the sriracha I loved and sharing it with all of you. I made my first three batches of Jojo's Sriracha in the back of a deli the size of a small closet. Those batches made about 150 jars and it took forever.
When I found a shared kitchen space that was much bigger, I relied on the help of family and friends who donated their time and energy to help production keep moving. They lugged jars up and down stairs and packed online orders in my studio apartment. I would then wheel those orders to the post office in the same granny cart I used to pick up peppers with at the Union Square Farmers Market.
When it was time to ramp up production, I didn't have the money for the industrial blender I needed, so I turned to my community for help. Together, we crowdfunded $4,430. I didn't have a website, but everyone helped share the love on our facebook page.
As an entrepreneur and general go-getter, it's easy to feel like I have to do everything on my own. Except growing your dream alone sucks. The real joy is sharing the journey with others and learning how to ask for help. This month we will produce over 2000 jars, but I won't do it alone. I'll have my first employee (who also happens to be my little sister) right by my side. She fills jars more precisely than I ever did and makes sure no batch is too seedy. Maybe even more importantly, we make breakfast and lunch together in the kitchen and never hesitate to have a dance party when just the right song comes on.
My company isn’t just about me – it’s about all the people who give their time, talent and energy to create something that we otherwise couldn’t make on our own. We stick to our guns and never release a product unless we’re absolutely in love with it first. Because that’s really the point. Love Hard.
We couldn’t be happier to show off our new website and online store. And if that wasn’t enough, we’re also introducing two new products: zinfandel and petite sirah sriracha infused with Ravenswood wines. We’re totally in love and we hope you will be too…
How My $355K in Stolen Assets Was Recovered: After falling victim to a sophisticated crypto scam that cost me $355,000, I want to share how a digital asset recovery firm came through for me when all hope seemed lost.
What Happened
Back in January 2025, I was lured into a fake investment platform promising high returns on Bitcoin and Ethereum deposits. The platform looked legit — smart UX, fast transactions, and fake testimonials. By the time I realized the scam, my wallet had been drained of BTC and ETH.
Finding Help
After weeks of despair, I found TROYHACK CYBER SERVICES, a firm specializing in crypto asset tracing and recovery. I reached out to them and after reviewing the blockchain transactions, they agreed to take on my case. This team was nothing short of elite. They used a blend of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tools and custom blockchain forensic software to trace my funds.
After 2 weeks of intense analysis and legal groundwork (including working with law enforcement and compliance teams from exchanges), they managed to freeze over 90% of the stolen funds. I recovered approximately $323,000 worth of asset
Crypto scams are terrifying, but companies like TROYHACK CYBER SERVICES gave me a second chance. Their use of advanced cyber-forensics, blockchain analytics, and legal coordination is the only reason I saw any of my funds again. Time is crucial in tracing stolen assets before they’re fully laundered or converted to privacy coins. So, just incase you are a victim of same situation, do well to contact them through either of the details below
