070 Dave Johnson - Grill Beast - a podcast by Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast

This is Episode Four of Season Six, my U.S. Road Trip Part II. In this episode I jump back in my Chevy and head across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway again to head up to Covington, about an hour north-ish of New Orleans. If you’ve been watching my videos for a while, you will have seen me using a bunch of Grill Beast gear. Well, in this episode I meet with Dave Johnson, Founder and Owner of Grill Beast. Grill Beast is what happens when a career marketing guy is ALSO a BBQ fanatic. Dave’s social media marketing techniques are so refined that he’s built a following on Facebook of over 200k Followers, a Facebook Group of almost 40k and another 30k Followers over on Instagram. In this episode I get the history of Grill Beast and then take a deep dive into how to master social media to skyrocket your sales. This was a great interview and it went so well that Dave even invited my family to come back to his home the following Sunday to be part of his Feast with the Beast online TV show where we had a huge cook up of traditional Louisianan Crawfish and Bloody Mary’s. 

Before we get into it, I’d like to let you know about our awesome merch shop. We’ve got our incredible Smoking Hot Confessions Tumbler as well as hoodies, hats, t-shirts and stickers. There’s also two amazing ebooks - 27 Lessons Learned from Competition BBQ and the delicious Bacon Manifesto.

I’d also like to invite you to join us at the Smoking Hot Confessions Community on Facebook. If you’re looking for a BBQ group full of open-minded people who just love to help each other out, the Smoking Hot Confessions Community is a great place to continue the conversation. 

Finally, however you’re listening to this episode, please subscribe, rate and review the show. It really helps me spread that BBQ love. 

So without further ado, grab yourself a pile of fresh-boiled crawfish and a jug of Bloody Mary’s and join me as I learn how to master social media marketing!
