Anna Redman on Braav, Challenge Coins, and Preserving Military Stories with Blockchain
In this episode of Oscar Mike Radio, I sit down with Anna Redman, founder of Braav, to discuss a unique mission that blends technology, storytelling, and military tradition.
Anna shares her journey from Harvard and venture capital into the world of physical security entrepreneurship, where she created Braav, an innovative platform that transforms military challenge coins into blockchain-based digital twins. These permanent digital records preserve the history, meaning, and provenance of every coin, ensuring that the stories associated with them are never lost.
This conversation hit home for me personally because my own challenge coin collection represents moments, memories, and people who shaped my journey in the military and beyond. For veterans, active-duty service members, police officers, and first responders, challenge coins are more than collectibles; they’re symbols of sacrifice, camaraderie, leadership, and service.
Anna and I talk about why preserving those stories matters and how technology can help protect military history in a completely new way. We also discuss the future of the Braav community, upcoming platform features, and how Oscar Mike Radio listeners can get priority access by joining the waitlist.
One of the best parts of this mission is accessibility: the platform is free for veterans, active-duty military, police, and first responders.

Anna, thank you for taking the time to share your story and for creating a platform dedicated to preserving the stories behind service.
