  CWC EP36 | Andy Cagnetta Sits w/ Jody Moore, Former D1 Athlete and Entrepeneur

  Jun 16, 202636 minS1

  From Division I athlete to South Florida entrepreneur, Jody Moore shares what resilience really looks like — in business and in life. Loss, leadership, grit, and growth — this conversation goes far beyond recruiting. In this conversation, Andy Cagnetta, CEO of Transworld Business Advisors, sits down with longtime friend Jody Moore, Founder of MSI Consulting & Recruiting, in Fort Lauderdale. From growing up as a Navy brat to becoming a Division I SEC swimmer at Tulane, Jody built a career in recruiting that has spanned nearly four decades in South Florida. Along the way, he weathered economic crashes, personal tragedy, industry disruption, and built a nationally recognized recruiting firm that has placed professionals in more than 22 states. But this conversation isn’t just about business — it’s about faith, family, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild when life delivers its hardest blows. Born in New Orleans and raised across the country in a Navy family, Jody became a Division I athlete at Tulane before launching his recruiting career in Fort Lauderdale in 1986. After breaking away from a “morally bankrupt” corporate environment, he co-founded his own firm — surviving industry crashes, personal tragedy, and transformation — to build a lasting, partner-driven recruiting business.
