Interview w/ Susie Bullock

"Facebook videos, at the time, were new. I was able to start making videos, really terrible videos, but the bar was low, so no one was doing it."

Today’s guest is Susie Bulloch of Hey Grill Hey, my absolute favorite for grilling, BBQing, smoking website. This is an interview I recorded while at Kit’s Craft and Commerce event this year.

I’ve been following Susie for a long time, before she had her own line of BBQ products in grocery stores. I jumped at the opportunity to meet her while I was at Craft and Commerce and she graciously agreed to let me interview her amidst of the busy schedule, which included a Keynote at that event.

If you’re into smoking meats or BBQing, you’ve got to check out Hey Grill Hey. My two favorites are her Sweet Heat Chicken marinade and her Sweet Rub seasoning.

We chat about her journey building Hey Grill Hey and the importance of building a mailing list.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.

    we're Davey & Krista
