Office politics isn't just about maneuvering for promotions; it's the invisible current that determines whether good ideas get traction or die in committee. Lucas and Luna, the two co-hosts of Fexingo Business, examine the real mechanics of workplace influence: how decisions actually get made, whose voices carry weight, and what strategies turn a proposal into policy. Drawing on organizational psychology, case studies from companies like Pixar and Bridgewater, and the latest research on network theory, each episode dissects a specific dynamic—whether it's managing up without sycophancy, building coalitions across warring teams, or navigating a toxic culture without becoming toxic yourself. The show is for the mid-career professional who has seen good projects stall and bad ideas advance, and wants to understand the underlying rules of the game. Lucas brings the journalist's skeptical eye for data and precedent; Luna counters with the practitioner's instinct for what actually works in a

The Visibility Trap in Modern Workplaces
Sep 13, 20269 minS4
We talk about the visibility trap: why being seen doing work often matters more than the work itself. We look at how digital tools like Slack and email create a new currency of attention, and what that means for your career trajectory in September 2026. Are you optimizing for impact or just for presence? #VisibilityTrap #CareerStrategy #WorkplaceDynamics #DigitalPresence #ProductivityMyths #OfficePolitics #RemoteWorkCulture #AttentionEconomy #PerformanceReview #BusinessCommunication #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareerAdvice #ModernWorkplace #InfluenceSkills #WorkLifeBalance #CorporateCulture Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Most professionals assume their annual review is a fair sum of twelve months of work. It rarely is. In this episode, we dissect how recency bias—the human brain’s tendency to overweight the most recent events—skews performance evaluations and career trajectories. We look at specific data from Harvard Business Review showing that managers often recall only the last thirty days of an employee's output when assigning ratings. Lucas walks through a concrete case study of a mid-level analyst whose strong Q3 performance was erased by a minor error in late September. Luna challenges the standard advice of 'working harder' and offers a tactical framework for managing upward visibility. We discuss how to create a 'brag document' not as vanity, but as a necessary counterweight to cognitive bias. If you are approaching your next review cycle, this episode gives you the tools to ensure your entire year, not just your last month, defines your worth. #CareerAdvice #PerformanceReview #RecencyBias #WorkplacePsychology #ManagementTips #OfficePolitics #HumanResources #LeadershipSkills #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #EmployeeEngagement #SelfManagement #CognitiveBias #WorkplaceDynamics #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #TheOfficePolitics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

Most professionals overestimate how much their colleagues notice their mistakes. In this episode of The Office Politics Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack the psychology behind why a minor email typo or a stuttered presentation feels catastrophic when it’s rarely remembered by anyone else. We look at real-world data from social psychology experiments on the spotlight effect, comparing our internal anxiety to the external reality of busy coworkers. If you’ve ever rehearsed a meeting ten times only to find your team barely noticed the small error, this episode explains why that is normal—and how accepting it can actually improve your performance. We discuss practical steps to reduce impostor syndrome and build resilience in high-stakes workplace environments. #OfficePolitics #CareerAdvice #PsychologyAtWork #SpotlightEffect #ImpostorSyndrome #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkplaceDynamics #CommunicationSkills #AnxietyManagement #LeadershipTips #CorporateCulture #MindsetShift #LucasAndLuna #CareerGrowth #HumanResources #SelfImprovement 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.
