Some businesses solve operational problems. Others solve emotional ones. Anna Redmond is building systems that do both.

In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Anna Redmond, Founder and CEO of Braav and creator of AllCoin, about how she transformed a nontraditional background into mission-driven businesses focused on security, trust, and preservation of community stories. Anna shares her journey from Harvard and venture capital into entrepreneurship and explains how listening carefully to customer pain points led her into the physical security industry.

Adi and Anna discuss a major gap many mid-sized businesses face: security responsibilities are often placed on HR leaders who lack specialized training or support. Anna explains how Braav provides fractional Chief Security Officer services that help organizations handle sensitive situations, protect employees, and create peace of mind through structured systems and expert leadership.

The conversation also explores the deeply meaningful world of challenge coins and the inspiration behind AllCoin. Anna shares how she discovered that many military and first responder stories tied to challenge coins were at risk of being lost over time. By creating digital twins preserved on the blockchain, AllCoin helps ensure those stories, achievements, and moments of service remain documented for future generations.
