Lucas and Luna sit across a slim oak table, fountain pen and pearl studs, to examine the mechanics of high-stakes negotiation. Each episode dissects a real deal — from a $2B semiconductor joint venture to a startup's Series A term sheet — and the tactics that closed it. Lucas walks through the leverage points buried in contract language; Luna presses on the psychology of the room, the moment a pause shifts power. Together, they decode the math behind a final offer, the clauses that protect margin, and the conversational gambits that turn a deadlock into a signature. This is not a seminar on 'win-win' — it is a forensic look at what actually happens when two parties with divergent interests sit down to write an agreement. The listener who tunes in is someone who has walked into a negotiation room and felt the weight of the table. They leave with a sharper eye for the other side's walk-away price, a keener sense of when to hold silence, and a vocabulary for the concessions that matter. W

How Non-Competes Are Reshaping Tech Talent
Sep 13, 202611 minS4
In September 2026, the federal landscape for non-compete agreements has shifted dramatically. This episode examines the FTC’s proposed rule banning most non-competes and how tech leaders like Alphabet and Amazon are proactively adjusting their contracts to retain talent without stifling mobility. We explore the legal nuances, the economic impact on mid-level engineers, and what this means for the future of labor market competition in the technology sector. #NonCompete #FTCRule #TechTalent #LaborMobility #ContractLaw #BusinessNegotiation #EmploymentLaw #SiliconValley #IntellectualProperty #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HiringStrategy #EmployeeRetention #CorporatePolicy #LegalCompliance #WorkforceDevelopment #TechIndustry Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We explore how the Federal Trade Commission's proposed ban on non-compete agreements is forcing technology companies to rethink their retention strategies. With major tech firms like Google and Apple already shifting away from these restrictive clauses, we look at what happens when you remove the legal glue holding employees to a desk. From trade secret protection to the rise of garden leave pay, this episode examines the real cost of letting talent walk out the door without signing a piece of paper. #NonCompeteBan #FTCProposal #TechTalentRetention #TradeSecrets #GardenLeave #LaborLaw #BusinessStrategy #EmployeeMobility #IntellectualProperty #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #CorporateContracts #HRPolicy #WorkforceManagement #LegalCompliance #TechIndustryNews #EmploymentLaw Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
The Federal Trade Commission’s recent move to ban non-compete agreements marks a seismic shift in labor law and corporate strategy. Lucas and Luna dissect how this regulatory change impacts hiring practices, talent retention, and competitive moats in the technology sector as of September 2026. They explore the specific mechanics of why companies once relied on these clauses to protect trade secrets, the legal challenges that led to their downfall, and what founders and executives must do now to safeguard intellectual property without restricting worker mobility. This episode covers the transition from restrictive covenants to robust confidentiality agreements and the new reality of an open labor market. #NonCompeteBan #FTCRules #LaborLaw #TechHiring #TalentRetention #IntellectualProperty #TradeSecrets #EmploymentContracts #BusinessStrategy #LegalCompliance #CorporateGovernance #HRPolicy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FinanceNews #EconomicsToday #WorkplaceRights #StartupAdvice Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Termination For Convenience Saved A Tech Acquisition
Sep 10, 202610 minS4
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dissect the 'termination for convenience' clause in M&A deals. Using a hypothetical but realistic scenario involving a mid-cap software company and a strategic buyer, they explain how this specific contractual right allows one party to walk away without proving breach of contract. The conversation covers the financial mechanics of termination fees, the leverage dynamics between acquirers and targets, and why this clause is becoming a standard risk-management tool in today’s volatile interest rate environment. #TerminationForConvenience #MACClause #MergersAndAcquisitions #DealBreakers #CorporateLaw #ValuationGaps #RiskManagement #ContractNegotiation #BusinessStrategy #PrivateEquity #TechAcquisitions #DueDiligence #PurchaseAgreement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #FinanceNews #Entrepreneurship Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Most merger agreements focus on legal protections like indemnification or breakup fees, but valuation gaps are often bridged by earn-outs tied to future performance. In this episode, we examine a specific twenty-eight billion dollar acquisition where the target company’s leadership team walked away because they refused to tie their own compensation to metrics they couldn’t control. We break down why misaligned incentives in post-deal integration can destroy deal value faster than any clause, and how smart buyers structure bonus pools that actually retain talent without creating perverse behaviors. #MergersAndAcquisitions #DealMaking #PerformanceBonuses #ExecutiveCompensation #ValuationGaps #PostMergerIntegration #IncentiveStructures #BusinessNegotiation #CorporateStrategy #TalentRetention #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FinanceNews #EconomicsToday #LeadershipDevelopment #ContractLaw #BuySideM&A #SellSideM&A 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.
