Matt Flynn The Myhy Guy

It’s not unusual on Out to Lunch to have a guest who’s a star in
their own world. Someone who’s well known and highly regarded in
a particular field. It’s much less common for Stephanie to have
lunch with someone who’s a real star. Someone whose face and name
is known nationwide.


Matt Flynn was a football player who first found fame as a
quarterback for the LSU Tigers. Unless you’ve been living under a
rock or just moved here, you’ll know that in 2008 Matt led LSU to
a BCS National Championship, and to the number one rank in
national polls. Matt went on to the NFL where he was on the
Green Bay Packers team that won the superbowl in 2011, and he
played for a number of other teams in the NFL, including the New
England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.


Typically, star athletes who graduate from professional sports go
on to be a spokesperson for a product, or buy into a local
business like a bar where their name and face appears on the
awning, but that’s about the extent of their involvement in
business. That is not Matt Flynn’s story. Matt has his
sights set on the business equivalent of football stardom – the
big leagues.


Matt has founded a company called MyHy. MyHy makes a liquid
electrolyte drink mix formula to keep you hydrated when you’re
working out or working hard or just sweating a lot on a hot day.


As a professional athlete, Matt’s interest in hydration is
understandable, but there’s a big difference between enthusiasm
and the scientific knowledge and business acumen required to take
on the likes of Gatorade. To that end, Matt has partnered with
nutrition experts and spent two years developing MyHy.


MyHy uses clean, all-natural ingredients, no unnecessary sugars
or flavors, and is formulated to match the user’s specific
concentration of sweat, which means it  gives everyone the
closest thing to a tailored hydration. You might think of it
as smart hydration.
