Today we’d like to introduce you to Jeff Boyd.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
For years, I saw friends and family struggle to keep up with the demands of life. At least in a healthy way. It was the same story for me too. Between being a dad, husband & CEO… I was spread thin & it felt like no matter what I did, I was always exhausted & stressed out. Coffee wasn’t cutting it. And I’ve never been a fan of unhealthy energy drinks. At best they give you fleeting energy in exchange for tons of crappy sugars & whatever else is in those things.
So after a year — chronic exhaustion & stress overload were starting to take their toll. I couldn’t focus at work… I noticed myself struggling to be present with my family… I had no energy to do the things I enjoyed… And my stress was at an all-time high…. Finally, enough was enough and I became obsessed with finding a solution. I needed something that would give me energy, mental clarity, & a mood boost without any negative side effects.
In my search for the perfect energy solution… I tried hundreds of different combinations of natural energy-boosting herbs & supplements… From Ancient Chinese Medicine Remedies to pseudo-science gym supplements. After 2 years of trial and error… I created the perfect energy supplement.
The combination of 13 different adaptogens, nootropics, & superfoods gave me:
✅ Better, longer-lasting energy than caffeine alone.
✅ Mood & stress support to make better use of the energy.
✅ Reduced inflammation & improved gut health.
It even helped me get better sleep at night which created an energy flywheel that made me a better father, a better husband, & better business owner. And thus, More Than Energy was born.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
One of the biggest challenges was finding the perfect combination of ingredients only to find out that, together, they tasted terrible. The biggest challenge in this was that there was an easy answer to the problem, but it would come at the cost of our baseline ideals.
For example, a lot of sugar would have masked the bitter taste, but then we would have a product that we didn’t really believe in. It was a compromise in a situation that demanded no compromises. We worked and worked, tweaked and tweaked, and finally found a few different options that ticked all the boxes, which ultimately became our MTE powder.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The name is an acronym for “More Than Energy” and that is sort of the story. Everything I found that gave me energy, did little else. We could get powered up for a few hours, but that was it. It was like a sports car that could go really fast for a few hours but wasn’t comfortable, couldn’t really maneuver all that well, and had shitty brakes. Who would buy that car? So, I felt like there was a massive opportunity to harness our energy boost and make us the best while on that energy wave. That meant, better focus, better mood, and better stress response.
Then I started thinking about how I could make the product supportive in a meaningful way for the long term, which meant helping the body power up and optimize with things like better sleep at night, gut health, and inflammation support. More than Energy became much more than a name… it sort of became our mantra and mission.
Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
The freedom of riding my bike everywhere and anywhere. Being at home meant chores, rules, and parental intervention… but once I got on the bike, it was nothing but exploration and limitless possibility. That sense of freedom has never left me.
