In April 2014, Jake Anderson published his first book, Relapse, which chronicles his journey from addiction to sobriety. In an interview with The Pop Culture Principle, Jake talked about the impetus behind writing this painful yet beautiful memoir.

"What made me decide to write it was because I saw where I was going," he told the outlet. "I wrote it because I wanted people to believe in themselves no matter what age you are. In this great country of ours, you can be homeless on the street like I was and decide one moment that you want to do something great and then change your situation."

Jake Anderson recently started a coffee business.

Jake and his partner Scott Sperbeck, who's also a commercial fisherman, became friends by virtue of working in the same industry. In these rare moments when they had a chance to catch up, they would often chat about starting a business together. That business ended up being Kaptein Coffee which, according to their website, aims to "provide a high-quality product at a fair price and to give back."

As crab fishermen who are well-versed in late nights and long days, coffee is key.

"Coffee is an integral part of Scott and Jake's life, and it seems like every time they would get together, it was over a cup of coffee," says the website. Now, the best part of waking up is a full pot of crabs and a hot pot of Kaptein Coffee.

Deadliest Catch airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Discovery.
