Global Trade with Fexingo is a daily examination of the rules, institutions, and politics that govern international commerce. Lucas and Luna dissect the latest developments at the World Trade Organization, from dispute rulings and tariff disputes to the stalling Doha Round. They map the patchwork of free trade agreements — from the USMCA and RCEP to the AfCFTA — and assess how these deals reshape supply chains, labor standards, and intellectual property protections. Each episode grounds abstract policy in concrete numbers: the volume of trade at stake, the tariff lines that matter, the winners and losers in specific industries. The show is for trade economists, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand how trade tensions affect their operations. Lucas brings the global perspective; Luna stresses the real-world impact on exporters, importers, and workers. Together, they avoid ideology and focus on the data: what does a new EU carbon border adjustment mean for Indian s

Episode #185
How Customs Brokers Control Global Trade
Sep 13, 202612 minS4
In this episode of Global Trade with Fexingo, we explore the invisible power of customs brokers. While most people focus on tariffs and trade agreements, the real gatekeepers are the licensed professionals who navigate complex regulatory frameworks for importers. We look at how a single misclassified item can trigger massive delays or fines, and why understanding their role is crucial for modern supply chain resilience. From pharmaceutical shipments to high-tech electronics, these experts ensure compliance with local laws while keeping goods moving. Join Lucas and Luna as they break down the economics of brokerage fees, the legal liabilities involved, and why businesses often underestimate the value of professional clearance services in an increasingly fragmented global market. #CustomsBrokers #ImportExport #SupplyChainManagement #TradeCompliance #LogisticsEconomics #GlobalCommerce #RegulatoryFrameworks #FreightForwarding #TariffsAndDuties #BusinessOperations #InternationalTrade #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsShow #TradePolicy #CustomsClearance #ImportRegulations #CrossBorderTrade Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We explore why modern trade deals are less about lowering tariffs and more about regulating digital services, intellectual property, and labor standards. Using the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement as a case study, we break down how these non-tariff rules reshape supply chains and corporate strategy in an era where traditional tariff barriers have largely vanished. #GlobalTrade #USMCA #TradeAgreements #Economics #SupplyChain #IntellectualProperty #DigitalServices #LaborStandards #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InternationalCommerce #Tariffs #NonTariffBarriers #LucasAndLuna #EconomicPolicy #CorporateStrategy #TradeWars #FreeTrade Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
The Invisible Border That Stops Your Coffee From Crossing
Sep 11, 202613 minS4
Global trade isn't just about tariffs at the border; it is defined by the invisible rules that determine what a product 'is' before it ever reaches customs. This episode explores the concept of substantial transformation, the legal standard used to assign national origin when goods are assembled across multiple countries. We look at how a smartphone designed in California but built with parts from ten different nations is legally considered Chinese or Vietnamese depending on where the last major change occurred. Lucas and Luna break down why this rule matters for inflation, supply chain resilience, and the future of nearshoring in late summer two thousand twenty-six. #SubstantialTransformation #RulesOfOrigin #SupplyChainResilience #Nearshoring #InternationalTradeLaw #WTO #CustomsValuation #GlobalCommerce #EconomicsPodcast #BusinessStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #TradePolicy #Manufacturing #InflationAnalysis #Geopolitics #ConsumerGoods Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Ep 182 examines how modern trade deals lock in regulatory frameworks, making it harder for governments to adjust standards on labor or environment. Lucas and Luna explore the specific case of the CPTPP and its impact on domestic policy flexibility, revealing why free trade often comes with rigid compliance costs. #GlobalTrade #TradeAgreements #CPTPP #EconomicsPodcast #FexingoBusiness #InternationalCommerce #RegulatoryCapture #PolicyLockIn #LaborStandards #EnvironmentalRules #SovereigntyDebate #TradeWars #LucasAndLuna #BusinessNews #FinanceDaily #EconomicPolicy #FreeTradeDeals #TradeBarriers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Most trade agreements are celebrated for lowering tariffs, but the real friction in global commerce today comes from non-tariff barriers and regulatory divergence. This episode examines how differing standards on data privacy, labor rights, and environmental compliance create invisible borders that stifle small exporters more than large multinationals. We look at a specific case study involving a mid-sized manufacturing firm caught between conflicting regional rules, revealing why complexity often acts as a silent tax on innovation and why simplifying these frameworks is becoming a priority for policymakers in late 2026. #GlobalTrade #WTO #FreeTradeAgreements #Economics #NonTariffBarriers #RegulatoryDivergence #SupplyChain #ComplianceCosts #InternationalCommerce #TradePolicy #BusinessStrategy #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeWars #Exporting #MarketAccess #EconomicGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
