Jake Owen on Boat Life, Brotherhood, and Finding Your Way Back
4/28/20261 hr 19 min
Multi-platinum country star Jake Owen sits down with The Brothers Hunt for one of the most real conversations we’ve had yet. From growing up on the water in Florida to chasing a golf career before music took over, Jake dives into the moments that shaped him — and the ones that nearly broke him. He opens up about moving to Nashville with no plan, building a career from the ground up, and what happens after you “make it” and realize life doesn’t get easier. The guys get into everything from old-school country music and Alabama deep cuts to raising kids, hunting stories, and the importance of doing dangerous things carefully. Jake also talks about stepping away from the Nashville machine to create his latest project “Dreams to Dream” on his own terms — no pressure, no rules, just real music. It’s funny, honest, a little chaotic — and at times, hits way deeper than you’d expect. This is Jake Owen like you’ve never seen him before. Subscribe for new episodes every week!
