Candy Sweat - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Many a young boy aspires to play in the NFL. But only a small
percentage actually realize that dream. It s similar to how many
people dream of starting their own business, graduating from the
work a day world, doing something they re passionate about, and
making it big. On this edition of Out to Lunch, Andre Moreau sits
in for Stephanie Riegel and hosts lunch with two members of a
family who have done both gotten to the NFL and started their own
business, at the same time Matt Flynn is an NFL quarterback who
many in Baton Rouge remember from his days of leading the LSU
Tigers to victory in the early 2000s. Matt is also an entrepreneur.
He s pioneering a new, personalized sports drink tailored precisely
for you, patterned on your own DNA. It s called MYHY. Don t go
looking for it at GNC yet but when you do remember you heard it
here first. Matt s mom, Ruth, is growing her own business. Ruth
Flynn, aka Mama Roo to her grandchildren, makes candy,
appropriately called Flynn s Candy Company. The candy you can find
at local stores including Rouses is called Mama Roo s. Andre s and
Matt s taste test gives Mama Roo s the thumbs up. It s a
fascinating and fun story of a mother and son supporting each other
building businesses. Photos at Mansurs on the Boulevard by Ken
