Lucas and Luna sit down at a small kitchen table to talk about what happens after the severance check clears. This is not a job-search strategy show or a motivational monologue. Each episode examines a real termination story—from mass layoffs at tech giants to quiet firings at midsize firms—and walks through the legal, financial, and emotional mechanics of the exit. Lucas brings the numbers: COBRA costs, unemployment benefit formulas, severance negotiation leverage points, non-compete enforcement trends. Luna focuses on the human side: how people rebuild their professional identity, when to update LinkedIn, what to say in interviews about being let go. They avoid toxic positivity and corporate euphemisms. Instead, they ask: what does a good severance package actually look like in 2024? How do you decide whether to sign the separation agreement or hold out for a better deal? And when the termination stings most—after years of loyalty—how do you talk to yourself the next morning?#Severa

How To Negotiate Outplacement Benefits After A Layoff
Oct 4, 202611 minS5
Most people think severance is just a check, but the real leverage often lies in outplacement services and professional coaching. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dissect how to audit your termination package for hidden career assets like executive search firm access, LinkedIn Premium sponsorships, and personalized resume workshops. They walk through a specific negotiation tactic used by mid-level managers to convert standard HR packages into tailored career support, arguing that your next job search should begin on day one with resources you didn't know you could claim. #CareerNegotiation #SeverancePackage #OutplacementServices #JobSearchStrategy #LayoffRecovery #ProfessionalBranding #ExecutiveSearch #HRBenefits #ResumeWorkshops #LinkedInPremium #CareerTransition #TerminationRights #InterviewCoaching #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareerAdvice #EmploymentLaw #NextRole Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Counteroffer Trap and Career Growth
Oct 3, 202613 minS5
When a company counters your resignation with a raise, the decision feels personal. But data from late 2025 shows that most employees who accept counteroffers leave within eighteen months anyway. Lucas and Luna break down why retention bonuses are often just delayed severance packages, and how to audit the real reasons you want out. We look at the specific psychology of the 'stay bonus' versus the long-term equity risk, using a concrete case study from a mid-sized tech firm in October 2026 to show why the initial exit signal rarely changes. #CounterofferTrap #CareerStrategy #RetentionBonus #JobResignation #EmployeeRetention #CompensationNegotiation #CareerPivot #LayoffRecovery #SeveranceAnalysis #CorporatePsychology #ExecutiveMoves #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Finance #WorkplaceCulture #ProfessionalIdentity #FutureOfWork Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Severance Negotiation Playbook That Actually Works
Oct 2, 202611 minS5
Most people treat their severance package as a take-it-or-leave-it offer, but the real money is in the non-cash terms. In this episode, we break down how to negotiate equity acceleration, outplacement services, and reference letter wording using a specific case study of a mid-level manager at a tech firm who turned a standard two-week payout into six months of runway and a stronger next role. We look at the hidden leverage points that HR departments often overlook, including stock option vesting schedules and health insurance bridge payments. By October 2026, the market has shifted from panic layoffs to strategic restructuring, making these negotiations more critical than ever for career resilience. #SeveranceNegotiation #CareerPivot #LayoffAdvice #HRStrategy #EquityAcceleration #OutplacementServices #ReferenceLetters #TechLayoffs2026 #CompensationNegotiation #JobLossRecovery #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #CareerCoach #EmploymentLaw #StockOptions #HealthInsuranceBridge #ProfessionalIdentity Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Hidden Math Behind Your Severance Vesting Schedule
Oct 1, 202610 minS5
Most workers focus on the cash in their severance package, but the real financial shock often comes from unvested equity. We break down how restricted stock units and options behave when you leave mid-quarter, using a concrete example of a tech employee who walked away with $200,000 in salary but forfeited $450,000 in potential shares because they misunderstood the vesting cliff. Learn how to calculate your actual net worth on exit day and why your last paycheck is just the tip of the iceberg. #SeverancePackage #EquityCompensation #CareerPivot #StockOptions #RestrictedStockUnits #JobLossStrategy #FinancialLiteracy #TechLayoffs #VestingSchedule #NetWorthAudit #ExitInterview #CompensationNegotiation #BusinessCareers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #SeveranceMath #EmployeeRights Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Hidden Math Behind Your Layoff Severance Package
Sep 30, 20268 minS5
Most people sign their severance agreement without reading the fine print on equity vesting, tax withholding, and COBRA premiums. This episode breaks down the actual dollar impact of a typical three-month package for a mid-level tech worker in October twenty twenty-six. Lucas and Luna walk through a specific case study to show how a seemingly generous payout can shrink by nearly thirty percent when you factor in accelerated vesting cliffs and healthcare subsidies. They also cover the often-overlooked non-compete clauses that can block your next move. By the end, you will know exactly which line items to negotiate and which ones are fixed by law. #SeverancePackage #LayoffStrategy #EquityVesting #COBRAInsurance #CareerPivot #TechLayoffs #NegotiationTips #JobLossRecovery #FinancialPlanning #HRContracts #StockOptions #NonCompeteClauses #CareerAdvice #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #FinanceTips #EmploymentLaw 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?
