Let’s keep it real, business life isn’t all boring meetings and stiff suits. Behind the polished pitches and fancy titles is a whole other story!
We’re talking about the real stories, the unfiltered, uncut moments you won’t find in any polished promo video.
Behind every brand is a story—unexpected, totally entertaining, and 100% human. So here’s to the real ones: the dreamers, the grinders, the risk-takers.

From Waste to Wealth: Container Empire
Jake Slinn’s journey proves you don’t need top grades to make it big in business. At just 26, he’s running JS Global Group, a company turning over £2.5 million – and it all started with only £400 in his pocket. Despite leaving school with just two GCSEs and dealing with dyslexia, Jake found his own way. As he puts it: “I can’t read or write, but I can sure count pound notes.”
His business tackles a side of global trade most people never think about: what happens to shipping containers full of expired food, fake goods, or abandoned stock? JS Global’s main job is securely destroying items that can’t be sold, from rotten bananas to unsafe kids’ toys.
Jake’s success even landed him a BBC documentary, The Container King, where he returned to Suffolk New College to encourage students who might be struggling at school. His story shows that success doesn’t always come from exam results – it can come from passion, creativity, and finding smart solutions to real problems. For anyone who feels held back by their education, Jake’s container empire is living proof that there’s more than one way to build a future.
