In this episode of the Square Pizza Pod, Greg welcomes Corey Carlesimo, CEO of Prospect HQ, and returning guest Dewey Norwood to talk about Prospect HQ, a purpose-driven hiring platform built to connect current and former student athletes with employers who value leadership, resilience, and cultural fit. They break down how Prospect HQ is rethinking the hiring process by helping athletes reflect more deeply on their values, strengths, and long-term purpose while giving employers a more authentic way to identify talent that can strengthen workplace culture.

Cory and Dewey also share why they believe student athletes are uniquely prepared to lead in today’s workforce, how their own experiences in sports and corporate leadership shaped the vision for the platform, and why culture, authenticity, and community matter just as much as credentials in helping people find the right opportunities.

In this episode, you’ll learn more about:

  • Why Cory and Dewey believe student athletes are one of the most overlooked and high-impact talent pools in today’s workforce
  • How Prospect HQ is helping athletes move beyond just finding a job to discovering a clearer path to purpose
  • What makes the platform different from a traditional job board, including its focus on cultural fit, reflection, mentorship, and authentic storytelling
  • How sports, coaching, failure, and teamwork prepare student athletes to thrive far beyond the field, court, or diamond
