Zach Rushing Talks Cancer Survival, Viral Videos & Redneck Logic

Motivational comic and internet sensation Zach Rushing joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for one of the most powerful and entertaining conversations we’ve had yet. Zach opens up about his journey from football and law school to becoming one of the most recognizable personalities in rural America, all while battling and beating Stage 4 cancer. With more than 9 million followers online, Zach explains why he doesn’t consider himself a comedian, but rather a “motivational comic.” We dive into his first viral video, “Black Cookout,” and its mind-blowing 3 billion views, his first comedy shows and the rise of the Redneck Logic Tour, the realities of internet fame and “country becoming cool again," his Christmas tree farm and Triple B Outdoors, and his idea for a Redneck Golf Series.
