From Recon Marine to Genesis Arms | Cody Cohen

Episode Description

Veteran Recon Marine Cody Cohen’s story is built on service, pressure, and purpose. Cody shares what it took to step into one of the most demanding communities in the Marine Corps, the mindset that was forged through training and combat, and how those lessons carried into every chapter of his life that followed. After his time in the Marines, Cody continued serving through law enforcement before eventually coming to a crossroads that had him taking a stand for freedom amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. He then stepped into his role with Genesis Arms, where he now helps bring the GEN-12 platform to military, law enforcement, and home defense users. This conversation goes beyond weapons and gear. It’s about discipline, resilience, responsibility, and the kind of men who are willing to make hard decisions when others won’t.
