What we do

We reach out to Albuquerque businesses we admire and invite them to sit down for a short, casual video interview. No scripts, no gotcha questions — just a conversation about their business, what drives them, and what makes their corner of ABQ special.

Every interview is edited into a produced video and published on heyabq.com alongside a written profile and links to the business. The whole thing is free — always has been, always will be.

How it works

1

We reach out. We find businesses we think have a story worth telling and invite them to be featured.

2

You submit a short profile. Name, business, how to reach you. Takes about two minutes.

3

We sit down and talk. A 20-minute video conversation. We handle all the recording and editing.

4

Your feature goes live. Video, story, and business links — published on heyabq.com for the city to see.

Founder, HeyABQ

I was born and raised in Atlanta, but fell in love with New Mexico after visiting my wife's family. Somewhere along the way, I stopped visiting and started belonging. We bought a home here, and we've been feverishly exploring Albuquerque ever since. The more people we meet, the more stories we find that deserve to be told.

I run Crestworthy, a small business software company. Instead of spending our marketing budget on ads, we put it toward spotlighting the businesses that make this city what it is. That's what HeyABQ is.
