I'm Anna Beavon Gravely, and I think I took the whole “you can be anything you want to be when you grow up,” thing my parents would say a little too seriously.

I am a restless entrepreneur. Always have been. I love creating beautiful spaces, solving problems, and making complicated topics relevant.

It’s my superpower.

And it shows up in very different ways. I own an event space. I am a sommelier. I am a co-host of a dating podcast, and I host a political podcast and guest-host a public affairs show on PBS NC, and appear as a guest on several political talk shows.

I am a girl that likes options.

But I have been in politics for as long as I can remember, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I love the war of ideas and the passion to make life better for people. I firmly believe we only know good ideas from bad ones when the two are contrasted.

Restless Entrepreneur & Public Speaker

I believe the good ideas that create more opportunity for people to chase their dreams and build their wealth are always better than the ones that are limiting.

Because here’s the thing.

Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone wants something more or something that scares them to do or say out loud. Everyone has their version of “the American Dream.” And I want to know what it is.

So I ask questions. Lots of them. I want to know why people think the way they do. Act the way they do, and ultimately behave the way they do. Our experiences underwrite our story.
