"Molly O'Shea is a name-dropper. There's good reason for that. I count 29 big names in tech mentioned over our hourlong call. She told me about recently moderating a panel with Kalshi cofounders Tarek Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara. Ken Griffin took the stage after her. O'Shea breezily referenced talking about the state of new media with the TBPN bros in Peter Thiel's house."
"Her podcast's name, Sourcery, references "sourcing deals," but it better represents O'Shea's talent herself. She'sclearlysourced up, sporting an ever-growing rolodex of tech's biggest names. After buzzy interviews with Palantir CEO Alex Karp and Anduril cofounder Palmer Luckey, O'Shea's platform has quickly grown. So have her critics, some of whom say she should ask tougher questions. But her core audience - investors in the world of tech and finance - seem to love that she's in the know."
