Jake Owen on Family, Sobriety, and Leading by Example

Jake Owen just released a new album, Dreams to Dream. In this conversation we don't talk about that at all; instead we go deep on his family life, mindset, and competitive nature. We also touch on how Nashville has changed over the years, antics with his twin brother, and the roundabout way he got to live his father's dream by golfing with Jordan Spieth at Pebble Beach and talking trash to Phil Mickelson.
