Every weekday, Lucas and Luna sit down in a business lounge to parse the day's most consequential developments in global trade, cross-border dealmaking, and multinational corporate strategy. This is not a news headline recap. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional memory—tariff schedules, currency hedging costs, bilateral investment treaty case law—while Luna presses on the messy human realities: how a logistics manager in Rotterdam adapts to new customs protocols, why a German Mittelstand company chooses Vietnam over Mexico, what happens to a supply chain when a single port in the South China Sea freezes. They walk through real cases: a recent foreign-acquisition approval blocked by CFIUS, a shift in EU carbon-border adjustment enforcement, a Japanese trading conglomerate's pivot into African lithium. The show is built for executives, trade lawyers, procurement heads, and sovereign-wealth analysts who need more than a headline—they need the strategic nuance behind the cross-border

Episode #191
How Corporate Treasuries Are Rewiring Global Trade
Sep 15, 202610 minS4
In Episode 191, Lucas and Luna explore how multinational corporate treasuries are bypassing traditional banking channels to manage cross-border payments. With the trade-weighted dollar index at 118.2 and crude oil topping 106 dollars a barrel, companies like Microsoft and Alphabet are using internal netting and direct currency swaps to hedge against volatility. We break down the mechanics of treasury centers in Dublin and Singapore, why banks are losing share in payment processing, and what this means for small exporters trying to compete. The episode anchors on specific data from July 2026 showing a widening trade deficit and examines how efficiency gains in capital flow are reshaping global supply chain finance without adding physical inventory. #CorporateTreasury #CrossBorderPayments #GlobalTrade #SupplyChainFinance #MultinationalOps #CurrencyHedging #InternalNetting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #FinancialEfficiency #TreasuryManagement #ExportStrategy #CashFlowOptimization #InternationalBusiness #BankingDisruption #TradeDeficit #EconomicStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Everyone is talking about nearshoring as the answer to supply chain resilience, but we need to look closer at the actual mechanics of moving production to Mexico. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down why the narrative of cheap labor is outdated, examining the real costs of infrastructure gaps, skilled labor shortages, and the complex web of USMCA rules of origin. With the trade-weighted dollar holding steady around 118.1 in mid-September 2026, the arbitrage that once drove massive FDI flows is narrowing. We dig into a specific case study of a mid-sized electronics manufacturer struggling with local logistics and wage inflation, revealing that while nearshoring offers geographic advantages, it introduces new operational risks that many executives are underestimating. This isn't just about moving factories; it's about understanding the hidden friction costs that eat into margins. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Nearshoring #MexicoTrade #SupplyChainResilience #USMCATrade #ManufacturingCosts #GlobalTrade #CrossBorderDeals #IndustrialPolicy #LaborArbitrage #LogisticsInfrastructure #ForeignDirectInvestment #EconomicAnalysis #LucasAndLuna #TradeWar #OperationalRisk #InternationalBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We explore the quiet revolution of digital product passports and how multinational corporations are using blockchain to track supply chain provenance. Lucas and Luna break down why compliance is becoming a competitive advantage, referencing specific data on trade balances and currency shifts as of September 13, 2026. #DigitalProductPassport #SupplyChainTransparency #BlockchainLogistics #GlobalTradeCompliance #CorporateGovernance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #InternationalBusiness #CrossBorderDeals #MultinationalOperations #TradeFinance #RegulatoryTech #SustainableTrade #AuditTrail #ImportExport #EconomicStrategy #MarketInsights Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Nearshoring to Mexico has become the default playbook for North American supply chains, promising lower costs and shorter lead times. But as the trade-weighted dollar sits at 118.1 and import volumes swell, a new friction point is emerging: regulatory compliance and labor arbitrage limits. Lucas and Luna break down how multinational corporations are hitting hard walls with Mexican manufacturing rules, from local content requirements to wage standards that are quietly eroding the margin advantages companies counted on. With oil prices roundtripping back toward one hundred dollars, energy costs in industrial zones are no longer static. This episode explores the specific case of automotive assembly shifts, the real cost of navigating customs bureaucracy, and why the 'just in time' model is being replaced by 'just in case' inventory buffers. Listeners will learn how to audit their own cross-border risk exposure beyond simple currency hedging. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GlobalTrade #Nearshoring #MexicoManufacturing #SupplyChainRisk #CrossBorderCompliance #LaborArbitrage #USMCA #IndustrialRealEstate #CurrencyHedging #OperationalExcellence #LogisticsStrategy #EmergingMarkets #CorporateStrategy #TradePolicy #LucasAndLuna #InternationalBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
With the Saudi East-West pipeline disrupted and crude prices swinging, we look at the unexpected pivot to Venezuela. As the US dollar index holds near 118 and emerging market ETFs wobble, new oil deals in Caracas are quietly reshaping global supply chains. We break down how these cross-border transactions bypass traditional sanctions frameworks, what they mean for energy security in late September 2026, and why this matters more than the headlines suggest. #VenezuelaOil #GlobalTrade #EnergySecurity #CrossBorderPayments #FexingoBusiness #OilMarkets #EmergingMarkets #SanctionsEvasion #Petrodollar #SupplyChainResilience #InternationalBusiness #CommodityTrading #LatinAmericaTrade #Geopolitics #EnergyCrisis #SaudiArabia #USDollarIndex #BusinessPodcast 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.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
