Matt Cardis isn't just a photographer — he's built one of the most unique storytelling projects in golf.

From photographing grizzly bears in Jackson Hole to driving over 270,000 miles across America documenting modern golf culture, Matt created "Golf In Your State" — a moving time capsule covered in thousands of signatures and stories from golfers around the country.

In this episode of Golf Execs, Kevin Tash dives deep into Matt's journey, the meaning behind the van, the mission of community and sustainability in golf, and the stories hidden behind 3,000+ signatures.

This isn't just golf content.

It's culture, storytelling, impact, and the road trip behind it all.

What does it take to go from Super Bowl champion to serial entrepreneur, executive producer, and patent-holding innovator? In this episode of the Club Speed Podcast by Golf Execs, host Kevin Tash sits down with Walter Thurmond III — former NFL cornerback, Super Bowl XLVIII champion with the Seattle Seahawks, filmmaker, technologist, and philanthropist — for a candid, inspiring conversation at the driving range in Southern California.

Walter shares the journey that took him from picking up tackle football in the eighth grade to winning the Super Bowl in his fourth NFL season, and how the discipline, accountability, and team-first mindset he built on the field became the foundation for everything he has built off it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

- How Walter went from a late start in football to being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks and winning Super Bowl XLVIII

- The team culture and collective accountability that powered Seattle's 2013–2014 championship season

- Why preparation is the antidote to pressure — on the golf course, in the boardroom, and at home

- The Mike Tyson charity golf event that sparked Walter's love for the game

- How a college ACL injury became the launchpad for a career in film production and technology

- Why athletes make great executives — and what "no one is self-made" really means

- The three pillars of Walter's ecosystem: entertainment, technology, and philanthropy

- A friendly putting competition between Kevin Tash and Walter you won't want to miss
