What happens when a prospect researcher writes a mystery novel —
and makes the main character one of us? In this special episode, we
dive into Tuesday Mooney Talks to
Ghosts by Kate Racculia, a delightful thriller whose
protagonist works in Prospect Research. Then we go straight to the
source: Kate herself joins us to talk about her career in prospect
research, what inspired the book, and what it was like to blend her
professional world with fiction.
We also get into something weightier:
the ethics of the data we hold. How much is too much to know about
someone? What are the real consequences of poor decisions in our
profession? It's a conversation that's equal parts fun and
thought-provoking.
