Lucas and Luna dissect the machinery of public finance — how governments borrow, spend, and tax — without the political theater. Each episode examines a single fiscal lever: a stimulus check's ripple through consumer debt, the bond market's reaction to a budget deficit, or the real cost of infrastructure spending. Lucas traces the Treasury's cash flows with a fountain pen across an abstract budget breakdown, while Luna presses on the human outcomes: which households actually benefit from a child tax credit, why a state's pension gap widens, or how procurement rules inflate the price of a new highway. The show serves economists, policy analysts, and investors who need to understand fiscal reality as it unfolds — not as campaign slogans. Expect granular case studies, from Japan's lost-decade stimulus to the U.S. inflation reduction act's supply-chain effects, with both hosts citing specific CBO scores, IMF working papers, and Federal Reserve research. They never forecast without data, ne

Episode #185
How Public Pensions Fund Private Equity
Sep 13, 20268 minS4
Lucas and Luna explore how municipal pension funds, burdened by underfunded liabilities, are increasingly turning to private equity to chase higher returns. They examine the specific mechanics of this shift, the risks involved for public servants, and whether this strategy is a necessary evolution or a dangerous gamble with taxpayer money. The discussion focuses on the structural incentives driving these decisions and the long-term implications for public finance stability. #PublicPensions #PrivateEquity #MunicipalDebt #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #FinanceNews #RetirementFunds #AssetAllocation #RiskManagement #GovernmentSpending #InvestmentStrategy #CapitalMarkets #FiscalPolicy #PensionFunds #AlternativeInvestments #LucasAndLuna #EconomicAnalysis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Infrastructure Bills Quietly Redistribute Wealth
Sep 12, 202612 minS4
We drill into the hidden mechanics of how federal infrastructure spending actually flows through local economies. Using the American Rescue Plan and subsequent bipartisan legislation as our anchor, we look at why a simple bridge repair in Ohio creates different wealth effects than a broadband grant in rural Alabama. We break down the multiplier effect on local wages versus corporate procurement contracts, and ask whether these massive public works projects are building assets or just moving money around. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #InfrastructureSpending #AmericanRescuePlan #PublicWorks #LocalEconomy #WealthDistribution #MultiplierEffect #FederalGrants #MunicipalDebt #ConstructionJobs #RuralBroadband #SupplyChain #PublicFinance #LucasAndLuna #FiscalPolicy #EconomicGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We explore the structural shift where public pension funds, driven by low interest rates and liability gaps, have become the silent backbone of private equity. Using CalPERS as a primary case study, we examine how pension mandates to hit eight percent net returns push capital into illiquid, high-fee alternative investments. We discuss the risks of this liquidity mismatch, the role of general partners in capturing value, and what happens when the easy money runs out. This is not just about retirement savings; it is about how public balance sheets are reshaping the entire corporate landscape. #PublicPensions #PrivateEquity #CalPERS #AlternativeInvestments #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PensionFunds #AssetManagement #LiquidityRisk #GeneralPartners #LimitedPartners #FinancialRegulation #Economics #InvestmentStrategy #RetirementSavings #CorporateFinance #MarketStructure #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How The Federal Reserve Quietly Bought The Bond Market
Sep 10, 20269 minS4
We look at how the Federal Reserve's balance sheet has become a permanent fixture in global finance. With over four trillion dollars in Treasury holdings, the central bank is no longer just setting rates but actively shaping the market structure. We examine what this means for liquidity, yield curves, and your retirement portfolio. #FederalReserve #QuantitativeEasing #TreasuryBonds #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #BalanceSheet #YieldCurve #InflationHedge #MarketLiquidity #CentralBanking #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsExplained #InvestmentStrategy #PublicDebt #FinancialMarkets #Macroeconomics #FixedIncome Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of The Fiscal Policy Podcast, Lucas and Luna dissect the hidden fiscal drag caused by municipal tax abatements. Using the specific case of the Buffalo Bills stadium deal and similar industrial park incentives across the Rust Belt, they explore how selling future property tax revenue for immediate private gain erodes the local tax base. With school districts already facing funding shortfalls in September 2026, the hosts break down why these deals often fail to deliver promised jobs, leaving municipalities with less money but unchanged service obligations. Learn why the net present value of these incentives rarely justifies the long-term loss in educational funding. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PublicFinance #TaxPolicy #MunicipalBonds #SchoolFunding #TaxAbatements #EconomicDevelopment #LocalGovernment #PropertyTax #StadiumDeals #IndustrialParks #PublicSpending #FiscalPolicy #BuffaloBills #RustBelt #EducationBudget #NetPresentValue 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.
