Bravenly Global Honored at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Gala in Phoenix, AZ

Bravenly Celebrates Faith, Family, and Purpose-Driven Growth Among America’s Top Entrepreneurs

Bravenly Global, the faith-driven, family-owned wellness company founded by Aspen and Brent Emry and their family, was officially honored at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, held last week at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. 

The recognition celebrated Bravenly’s remarkable achievement of ranking #118 nationwide, and #6 in Consumer Products, on this year’s Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

The Emry family – Aspen (CEO), Brent (COO), Logan, Mason, Parker, and Owen – attended the full three-day conference which included a black-tie awards gala, joined by Ashley Walmer (VP of Field Development) and Garrett & Sylvia McGrath (Special Advisors) with their son Liam McGrath. 

Together, they represented a company whose remarkable growth story is defined by Courage, Integrity, and Impact, the three core values that continue to guide Bravenly’s mission and community.

A Room Full of Visionaries

The 2025 Inc. 5000 event brought together some of the world’s most influential entrepreneurs and creators – including Daymond John of Shark Tank fame and founder of FUBU;  Stephen and Allison Ellsworth, co-founding family of Poppi prebiotic soda; Julia Hartz, CEO/Co-Founder of Eventbrite who interviewed New York Times bestselling author Jay Shetty about purpose-driven leadership; and Dr. Jeff Lu, Founder and CEO of Akool, named this year’s #1 fastest-growing private company in America. 

Other notable speakers included actor and entrepreneur Taraji P. Henson, actor/producers Diego and Natalia Boneta (Three Amigos), RJ Scaringe (Rivian), Ernie Garcia III (Carvana), and former NFL QB Jake Plummer. 

Mike Hofman, Editor-in-Chief of Inc. magazine, shared:

“The Inc. 5000 is one of the most important things we publish each year – a real-time bellwether of American business,” 

Hofman added: 

“At a moment when entrepreneurs are navigating economic uncertainty, labor shifts, and inflation, this list is powerful proof of innovation and resilience. We’re deeply grateful to the thousands of companies that trust us with their growth data to make this list possible.” ¹ 

From stage, Daymond John addressed the top entrepreneurs being honored (the 5,000 fastest growing companies, from among 33 million privately-held companies in the USA) in a conversation that resonated with every hard-working founder in attendance:

“Thank God, we’re all here at the Inc. 5000, in the middle of a bunch of A-type personalities who are always on the forefront. The people in this room are the 1% of the 1% of the 1%.”

Sean Evans, the multi award–winning host and creator of Hot Ones, hosted the exciting Friday night black-tie gala. 

For the Bravenly team, standing among such leaders underscored just how far their mission-based movement has come — from a dream around a kitchen table in 2020 to experiencing 3,009% growth to become one of the Top 10 fastest-growing consumer product companies in America.

From Faith to Fortune, Without Losing Focus

Bravenly’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. The company grew from $1.7 million in 2021 to over $52 million in 2024, and is now on track to surpass $100 million in 2025, driven by loyal customers, repeat orders, and an ever-growing community of purpose-driven Brand Partners.

“Being there at Inc. 5000, and hearing ‘Bravenly Global’ announced from stage – that we were among the most innovative and fastest-growing companies in the nation – it was deeply emotional and humbling,” 

said Aspen Emry, Bravenly’s Founder and CEO. 

“This recognition belongs to our entire community: our customers and especially the many thousands of inspiring Brand Partners: field leaders who have poured their hearts into sharing these innovative healthy lifestyle products and helping others succeed, together with our message of courage, integrity, and impact.”

Ashley Walmer, Bravenly’s Vice President of Field Development added: 

“This recognition isn’t just about growth. It’s about thousands of people from all over, moving forward with courage and integrity, impacting families’ lives all across the country. Faith has guided every step of this journey, and obedience to purpose can truly change everything.”

Throughout the conference, Bravenly’s team connected with leaders and founders from many sectors – tech, health, marketing, AI and innovation – united by a common mission to make a meaningful difference through entrepreneurship.

 “Amazing things can happen when everyday people step out in extraordinary faith and say YES,” 

shared Aspen Emry. 

“Five years ago, we were just weeks away from launching Bravenly. To stand here now, seeing what we prayed for coming to life – one day at a time, one family at a time – is beyond rewarding. It’s not about the number; it’s about the meaning behind it: lives being touched, families being blessed, and courage meeting calling.”

Garrett McGrath, Special Advisor to Bravenly and President of the Association of Network Marketing Professionals (ANMP) shared:

“The Emry family’s leadership continues to elevate what integrity-based, effective entrepreneurship looks like. We feel blessed to work together with them. They’ve shown that growth and goodness can go hand in hand; that’s one of the many things that makes Bravenly extraordinary.”

A Bright Future Ahead
