Listen "Hydrant - John & Jai"
Episode Synopsis
Today's guests are Jai Kim and John Sherwin of Hydrant, a company that makes a powdered electrolyte mix that helps you rehydrate your body quicker and more efficiently than just water, and without all the sugar that comes in traditional sports drinks. It's not like electrolytes are new science. We can basically assume that we've all seen plenty of drinks advertising electrolytes in the grocery store. But John wasn't satisfied with what was on the market. So he put his biology degree from Oxford to work in creating a better blend in order to get H2O into your bloodstream faster. When he met Jai, the duo wasted no time at all in getting this idea off the ground and into stores. It was only 3 weeks after having met that they signed a co-founder agreement! Listen in as we cover everything from John admitting that he wasted too much time in perfecting the formula, why they initially thought flavor didn't really matter, and why there is some truth behind the recommendation to drink 8 glasses of water a day.
