Inside The Adventure

Bryant Bertrand, the Co-Founder & CEO of Ronin, was always inspired by the adventures of super heroes like Batman and the gadgets he used. So, after working a number of years in the rescue industry designing hoists and winches for rescue helicopters, he drew upon his inspiration from Batman to bring one of his most famous gadgets to life with the goal of revolutionizing recreational ascension. His creation, the Ronin Lift personal rope ascender, represents that dream of creating a product anyone can use to solve the problem of vertical ascension, transforming a normally challenging task into the effortless feeling of superhero. When Bryant is not running Ronin, he enjoys fishing, hunting, backpacking, snowboarding, and generally any activity that gets him outdoors with some friends and some beer! You can see the Ronin in action here or try it for yourself on their website. On this episode, we learn how Bryant's childhood shaped his love for the outdoors and how he manifested his dreams of being a superhero into starting Ronin! This podcast is produced by Force Media.
