From Pixels to Pints and The Dual Life of Don Elliott

In this episode of Building a Business: Grit & Grace, host Anna Angelova sits down with Don Elliott, a creative entrepreneur whose journey bridges two very different worlds: digital marketing and craft beer. Don is the owner of Gravitate, a leading digital marketing and web design agency that’s been helping brands grow since the dawn of the internet, and Pour Choices, a community-centered pub in Vancouver, Washington. With nearly 30 years in the creative industry, he shares the real lessons from starting, selling, and buying back businesses and why, sometimes, the best way to grow is to step back. From navigating the evolution of marketing in the age of AI to building a company culture rooted in trust, Don offers insights every entrepreneur needs to hear. He also reveals what running a neighborhood pub taught him about experience-driven business, leadership, and the power of community. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when creativity meets strategy or how to build success across completely different industries, this conversation is one you won’t forget.
