Drew Miles sits down with close friend and entrepreneur Cody Rich for an inside look at Bridger’s first hunting-specific smartwatch, the “Reckon,” and the story behind how it was built. They talk about Cody’s rough upbringing, the mentors who shaped him, and how those experiences forged his drive to create instead of becoming a statistic. The conversation dives into entrepreneurship—spotting opportunity like a hunter, failing forward, and being motivated more by freedom, impact, and innovation than by money. Cody explains how frustration with relying on his phone and current smartwatches in the field sparked the idea for a watch designed specifically for hunters, leading to a purpose-built device with long battery life, intuitive hotkeys, redshift night mode, offline maps, and quick-access dope cards. He also shares his long-term vision of building a legacy tech brand for hunters, firefighters, and warfighters—not just another gear company. They wrap by encouraging listeners to join the limited release email list at BridgerWatch.com and teasing a Bridger watch giveaway in an upcoming Tricer hunt giveaway.
