Meet Christian Holmes and Hayden Earl, the founders of 3rd Life Health, a company developing a convenient drink supplement for athletes.
They describe their products as an Alka-Seltzer-style pre-workout tablet you can throw into a drink, and it mixes itself up. It comes in a compact sleeve and makes the whole process convenient and easy.
Both Holmes and Earl are athletes, with Holmes being a former Division 1 athlete, and Earl having played competitive soccer. They understand and value athletics, and the drive that many feel when chasing their goals and pushing their limits.
Holmes is a finance major at the University of Utah. Earl studied entrepreneurship and marketing at Utah State University.
Their business is centered around performance-boosting in a healthy and safe way. It is no secret that pre-workout is a popular supplement, used by many athletes to increase their energy before an intense workout. Both Holmes and Earl recognize the demand and public interest in energy drinks and energy-boosting supplements like pre-workout. Their product is an innovation in this industry.
“Our current goal is to get our product into consumer’s hands soon,” Holmes said. “We had the idea about a year ago and our first working product about 8 months ago.”
Pre-workout supplements most commonly come in large jugs filled with powder that you mix and then drink. Holmes and Earl disliked this option and found the large powder jugs to be a hassle and an obstacle. Above all, they want to achieve convenience without losing the effectiveness present in the usual “scoop and stir” method.
Additionally, they want their product to stand out by being healthier than the alternatives, focusing on the nutrients that push you to improvement and recovery. They have worked extensively to learn about what specific ingredients do and how they interact in order to cut out the “fluff” and deliver a product that isn’t full of unnecessary chemicals.
In their efforts, the duo are self-starters. They are researching, learning, making mistakes, noticing the bogus, and figuring out what works and is scientifically backed. If something goes wrong, they pivot and try again.
