What does it take to earn the trust of one of America's most respected communities when you have none of the traditional credentials?
In this powerful episode of The ToosDay Crüe Show, Stephen and Jake sit down with Anna Redmond, Founder & CEO of Brav, to discuss her unlikely journey from Harvard and venture capital into the world of physical security, where she built a company trusted by veterans, first responders, and organizations across the country.
Anna shares how she entered an industry where she had no military or law enforcement background, why humility became her greatest leadership tool, and how surrounding herself with experienced professionals helped transform an ambitious idea into a thriving business.
The conversation also explores her latest venture, AllCoin, an innovative platform preserving the legacy of military and first responder challenge coins through blockchain technology—ensuring that the stories, service, and sacrifice behind every coin are never lost.
