This week, I'm talking with Carrie Morey, founder of Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit — the Charleston-born brand that began with her mom's country-ham biscuits and grew into a national favorite.
In 2005, Carrie was a new mom with a simple vision: to do meaningful work while keeping her family first. What started as a small, mail-order business has become an iconic Southern brand with a national retail presence, grab-and-go eateries in Charleston, and a loyal following.
In this conversation, Carrie shares how she built her business around motherhood, the lessons she’s learned about growth and timing, and why she believes you don’t have to move fast to build something meaningful. She talks about the highs and lows of scaling a handmade product, keeping family life sacred, and what it looks like to redefine success after twenty years in business.
Plus, in a post-show update, you’ll hear from Callie White, Carrie’s mother and the original biscuit maker, who reflects on those early days — and what she thinks about the “terrible idea” now.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
