Like a Farmer

We’re celebrating a huge milestone (Episode 100!) and we couldn’t think of a better guest to mark the moment than country music powerhouse Riley Green. From small-town roots to sold-out shows, Riley joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on what it really takes to build a lasting career in country music, without losing who you are along the way. We dive into the rise of Riley Green, the moments that still feel unreal, and the many lanes he’s carving out beyond music. From stepping into the acting world, to living out his athlete dreams by hitting dingers at MLB parks, to launching his bourbon brand The Duck Club, Riley proves he’s more than just a hitmaker. Riley shares unforgettable “pinch me” moments with Pat McAfee and Jimmy Fallon, his deep appreciation for CASE KNIVES, and how songs like “You Look Like You Love Me” were created. We also talk songwriting, artists catching his eye, sliding in the DMs, and why home keeps him grounded no matter how big things get. Plus, Riley steps into the hot seat for Give ‘Em the Boot presented by TECOVAS, steps into the shoes of a podcast host, and lays out what 2026 has in store.Subscribe and leave a review to support the show! Chapters:(0:00) – Welcome Riley Green for Episode #100! (3:00) – The Rise of Riley Green (4:30) – The Actor: What’s on the Horizon? (6:30) – The Athlete: Hitting Dingers at MLB parks (9:05) – The Bourbon Maker: The Duck Club (12:25) – Pinch Me Moments with Pat McAfee and Jimmy Fallon (14:25) – Riley Loves Him Some CASE KNIVES (14:50) – Give ‘Em the Boot Presented by TECOVAS (19:55) – "You Look Like You Love Me" (24:25) – The Art of Songwriting and Storytelling (27:25) – Up-and-Coming Artists Catching Riley’s Eye (29:50) – Braid Paisley Set the Tone (33:10) – Home is Humbling (36:25) – Riley’s the Host Now (42:25) – Riley Green's Duck Blind (45:10) – The 2026 Plan Shop Like a Farmer merch at https://shop.agamericamedia.com/ Follow along:IG: https://www.instagram.com/likeafarmerpodcast/FB: https://facebook.com/likeafarmerTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@likeafarmerpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/likeafarmer_     About Like A Farmer:Like a Farmer is a podcast and video series that spotlights accomplished individuals from diverse industries and their inspiring stories of overcoming adversity and achieving success.
