David Correy joins Matthias Farley for a conversation that goes far beyond golf.

David’s journey has taken him from music and a career built around creativity to discovering a renewed passion for golf—and, ultimately, a new perspective on himself. He shares how his dad introduced him to the game at 10 years old, why golf eventually became an obsession, and how the grind of getting better at golf helped him rediscover the same love for the creative process that first drew him to music.

David also opens up about his journey through addiction and sobriety, the challenge of rebuilding his life, and how golf became part of that transformation. From learning to balance family, career, creativity, and competition to understanding when obsession can help you—and when it can take over—this conversation gets real about what it means to keep growing.

David and Matthias talk about the power of golf to create relationships, the doors the game can open, the pressure we put on ourselves to achieve more, and why authenticity matters more than ever.

It’s a conversation about golf, music, fatherhood, ambition, sobriety, balance, and becoming who you’re meant to be.

Because, as always, golf is rarely just about golf.

This week, Matthias sits down with a Charlotte legend: former Carolina Panthers running back turned investor, businessman, and golfer Jonathan Stewart. Jonathan opens up about how the game of golf became the anchor for his life after the NFL — helping him find community, purpose, and a whole new identity beyond "football player."

The two dig into the brutal reality of retiring from the NFL, why golf is the ultimate "exclusively inclusive" equalizer, and how Jonathan turned a hobby into a business through real estate, private equity, and content creation. Along the way: dino dragon gummy snacks, Claude-generated workout plans, sweet baby ray's hacks, personal growth, and how a high school theater role as Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat set him up for a life on camera.

It's a raw, funny, and surprisingly emotional conversation about identity, transition, and figuring out who you are once the thing that made you "somebody" is gone — and yeah, some golf too.

Welcome to Just About Golf! In our very first episode, host Matthias Farley sits down with the man who made this whole thing possible: his best friend and "brother from another mother," Dustin Walls. What started as a chance meeting on a Charlotte golf course turned into an epic road trip, a "first to five" jacket rivalry, and eventually the spark for this podcast itself.

Matthias and Dustin trace the whole journey — from Dustin showing up with recording gear and refusing to let the dream die, to the friendship, betting rounds, and country club chaos that got them here. Along the way they get into fatherhood, chasing your obsessions, figuring out who you actually are in your 30s, and why nothing in life is ever just about golf.

Also covered: Origin stories, the Arby's money-laundering conspiracy theory, why birds are secretly dinosaurs, and the eternal debate of Chick-fil-A vs. Cook Out vs. Taco Bell.

It's a fitting, funny, and genuinely heartfelt way to kick things off — thanks to the guy who made it all happen.

Golf is the common thread. The stories are the real game.
Introducing Just About Golf, hosted by former NFL safety Matthias Farley.
After eight years in the NFL,  Matthias Farley has traded the football field for the fairway—but his love for golf has always been about more than the game.
Just About Golf is about the people you meet, the experiences that shape you, and the stories that make each of us who we are.
Yes, we’ll talk golf.
But we’ll also talk life, relationships, lessons, challenges, and everything in between. Because sometimes the best conversations happen somewhere between the first tee and the 18th green.
