What price are you willing to pay to achieve success beyond your dreams? DeAnna Gravillis, Co-Founder and CEO of Gravillis, Inc. asks that question in this episode of ‘The She Built It Podcast with Melanie & Dr. Michele.’ The answer might surprise you.
A self-described life-long entrepreneur, DeAnna started in the music industry, gained award-winning success, then leapt to the entertainment industry where she was unknown. Adding to the challenge: She didn’t fit — nor was embraced by — the powers in the industry. With a “hungry” one-year old child as her motivation, DeAnna knew she had to sacrifice in the short-term — including hiding the fact that SHE was the CEO — to live her passion in the long-term.
Twenty years later, HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Warner Brothers, Disney, and others are their clients. Gravillis, Inc. is also the creative genius behind movie posters for Star Wars, Honey Boy, Harriet, and Oscar-winning films like Free Solo and Bohemian Rhapsody. As if that weren’t enough, DeAnna recently founded a second company, Evoke, Inc. because she saw an unmet critical need in the industry. Listen to this authentic, powerful episode; laugh, learn, and be inspired to pay the price to live your own best successes.
