Matt Rhule: “Now It’s Time to Go Win” | All-Access with Nebraska Football Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

The 2026 Farmin’ & Football Tour kicks off in Lincoln, Nebraska!

Pat Spinosa and the Like A Farmer crew go behind the scenes with Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers for an all-access look at one of college football’s most storied programs. Coach Rhule sits down with Pat to talk about why farming represents the hard work America was built on, building genuine connection in today’s college football, adapting to NIL and the transfer portal, and why Year 4 at Nebraska is about taking the next step: “Now it’s time to go win.”

Pat also catches up with Nebraska defensive linemen Cameron Lenhardt and Riley Van Poppel to talk about their journeys to Lincoln, overcoming adversity, the culture surrounding Husker football, and what they’ve learned from the hardworking people of Nebraska. And it wouldn’t be Farmin’ & Football without feeding the boys.

Levrack’s Ol’ Bart fires up the Mill Scale smoker right on the Nebraska practice field before serving the Huskers a post-practice feast. From the farm to the football field, this is what Farmin’ & Football is all about: hard work, grit, community, and the people who keep showing up every day.

Ross Chastain Explains New Hampshire Engine Failure + Daytona’s BIG Change Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

On a new episode of Ag to Asphalt Presented by FRESH FROM FLORIDA, NASCAR Cup Series driver Ross Chastain is back on the farm to break down a busy stretch of racing and look ahead to the regular-season finale at Daytona. Ross starts with Richmond, diving into tire falloff, race strategy and how he leaned on fellow Chevrolet driver Austin Dillon for advice heading into the weekend. Then, it’s on to a frustrating New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where an early engine failure ended Ross’ day much sooner than expected. He explains what went wrong, what he felt inside the car and even how he managed to fall asleep during the rain delay! Then, in an exclusive segment Presented by GEORGIA BOOT, Ross sits down with Ken Pozega, the rear tire changer on the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet. Ken takes fans behind the scenes of NASCAR’s pit crew world, his role on race day and what it takes to perform under pressure when every fraction of a second counts. Finally, Ross looks ahead to Daytona and NASCAR’s new rules package for the Cup cars. With a major reduction in rear downforce and plenty of unknowns heading into the weekend, Ross explains why teams may be making some serious adjustments once the green flag drops.

Steve Maxwell on Being Dead for 25 Minutes & What He Says He Saw Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

Military veteran and entrepreneur Steve Maxwell joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a remarkable conversation about business, family, faith, regret, and getting a second chance at life. Steve takes us back to growing up in Florida, finding the love of his life, beginning his career as an air traffic controller, serving his country, and eventually taking the leap into entrepreneurship. He shares how he built his first businesses, why he believes America needs more entrepreneurs, and the mindset that's driven his desire to win throughout his life. Then comes a story you have to hear to believe. Steve recounts a medical emergency in which he says he had no heartbeat for approximately 25 minutes. He describes what he experienced during those moments, including what he believes was an encounter with Jesus at the gates of the Kingdom of God, and how returning from that experience completely changed his perspective on life. Steve also opens up about becoming a father and shares advice for new dads, reveals the biggest regret of his life and the lesson he hopes others can learn from it, and explains why building businesses and creating opportunities remain so important to him. From military service and the American entrepreneurial spirit to fatherhood, faith, and an extraordinary second chance, this is one of the most unique stories we've ever heard on Like A Farmer.
