    Digitizing Challenge Coins for the Military with Allcoin
    May 4 2026
    In this episode, Joe Crane sits down with Anna Redmond, the Founder and CEO of Braav, to discuss her journey from Harvard and venture capital into the high-stakes world of corporate security and digital innovation. Through her work with Braav, Anna discovered the deep significance of the challenge coin tradition and realized that the 30 million Americans who own them often lack a way to preserve the oral histories they represent. To solve this, she created AllCoin, a platform that builds "digital twins" on the blockchain to ensure these legacies are immutable and accessible for future generations. Anna shares how she leveraged modern AI tools like Airtable’s Hyper-Agent to build her business. Plus, listeners who mention the Veteran On the Move podcast can jump to the front of the AllCoin waiting list at allcoin.braav.co. About Our Guest Anna Redmond is the Founder and CEO of Braav, where she deploys experienced Chief Security Officers into organizations that need to get serious about safety and riskfast. Her path into security was unconventional; she started in venture capital and studied at Harvard before shifting into the security world after recognizing how unprepared most companies are for real-world threats. She is now focused on modernizing challenge coins by building the first platform that gives these legacy symbols a digital twinpreserving not just the coin itself, but the story behind it. Her goal is to transform challenge coins from private artifacts into tools for identity, community, recognition, and eventually access and fundraising.
