The Dawgs are back in Las Vegas for their last electric episode of Dawg Talk Podcast!  J Mac, Kenny Gaines, and KCP sit down with entrepreneur, sports visionary, and Prospects founder Adam Wexler for an in-depth conversation on hoops, business, and building Georgia basketball into a powerhouse.

From Adam’s Sandy Springs roots and UGA days to his journey through the music industry, sports marketing, and founding PrizePicks, this episode is packed with stories, game-changing ideas, and behind-the-scenes insight. We dive into the 60-win Atlanta Hawks season, the NIL era, recruiting strategies, winning the state of Georgia, and how UGA can level up in the national spotlight.

Plus, Adam shares his love for live music, the iconic Red Rocks experience, and which cities have the best music scenes. Whether you’re a Dawg fan, basketball junkie, or entrepreneur, this one’s for you.
