The CEO Diary with Fexingo examines the real decisions behind corner offices—the trade-offs, the missteps, and the quiet calculations that shape public companies and private empires. Each episode, Lucas and Luna dissect a specific CEO move: a surprise acquisition, a sudden resignation, a pricing pivot, or a cultural turnaround. They walk through the numbers—revenue per employee, market share shifts, executive compensation ratios—and weigh the strategic logic against the human cost. Lucas, with his journalist's instinct, pushes for clarity on what was actually decided; Luna, equally sharp, challenges whether the outcome was worth the risk. Together they avoid platitudes, focusing on what executives actually do when the cameras are off. This is not a motivational show. It is a steady, unsentimental look at how power operates inside a public company: how boards influence succession, how activist investors force change, how founders lose control, and how CEOs rebuild after a crisis.

How Patagonia Turned Profits Into Planet
Sep 13, 202610 minS4
In 2022, Yvon Chouinard made a radical decision: give away Patagonia’s company to fight climate change. This episode breaks down the mechanics of the Holdfast Collective, how it redefines fiduciary duty for modern CEOs, and why this structure might be the new blueprint for sustainable business leadership in a post-ESG world. #Patagonia #YvonChouinard #SustainableBusiness #CorporateGovernance #HoldfastCollective #ClimateAction #CEOLeadership #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EthicalCapitalism #ProfitWithPurpose #BCorporation #EnvironmentalStewardship #ExecutiveDecisions #LongTermValue #ImpactInvesting #CorporateResponsibility #GreenStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In September 2026, the global food and beverage sector faces a unique pressure: the cost of logistics is no longer just an overhead line item but a strategic vulnerability. We examine how Danone’s leadership team restructured its supply chain not by chasing cheaper freight, but by decentralizing decision-making to regional hubs. This shift allowed them to absorb inflation shocks that crippled competitors who relied on centralized optimization. The story focuses on the specific operational pivot that turned a potential margin collapse into a resilience benchmark. Listen as we break down the mechanics of this logistical overhaul. #Danone #SupplyChainManagement #BusinessResilience #LogisticsStrategy #FexingoBusiness #CEOLeadership #OperationalExcellence #InflationHedge #Decentralization #BusinessPodcast #CorporateStrategy #RiskManagement #FoodAndBeverage #ExecutiveDecisions #EconomicTrends #MarketVolatility #LeadershipLessons #BusinessGrowth 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.
