They walk through specific studies — the endowment effect in housing markets, the sunk-cost fallacy in subscription pricing, the framing of credit-card interest rates — and ask what those experiments imply for a consumer choosing a mortgage or a CFO setting a price. Lucas brings the investigative journalist's rigor, pressing for the exact sample sizes, replication rates, and alternative interpretations; Luna pushes back with the practitioner's instinct, asking whether a bias that shows up in a lab actually tra

The Sunk Cost Fallacy in Your Investment Portfolio
Sep 29, 202610 minS5
Why do we hold onto losing stocks longer than logic allows? Lucas and Luna explore the psychological trap of sunk cost fallacy in personal investing. They examine how emotional attachment to a purchase distorts future decisions, using real-world examples from retail investors who refused to sell depreciating assets. The episode breaks down the difference between fundamental analysis and emotional holding patterns, offering practical strategies to detach from past spending when evaluating current market opportunities. Discover how recognizing this bias can save your portfolio from dragging under dead weight. #SunkCostFallacy #BehavioralEconomics #InvestmentPsychology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FinancialBias #PortfolioManagement #DecisionMaking #EconomicsDaily #LucasAndLuna #MarketBehavior #RetailInvesting #CognitiveBias #WealthManagement #ConsumerSpending #FinanceTips #EconomicInsights #SmartMoney Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

How Choice Architecture Shapes Your Financial Life
Sep 27, 20269 minS4
We explore how choice architecture, the subtle design of options presented to us, quietly dictates our spending and saving habits. Using the case of auto-enrollment in retirement plans as a central anchor, we examine why defaults matter more than incentives. Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics of nudges, the psychology behind passive acceptance, and how businesses use this framework to steer consumer behavior without anyone noticing. #ChoiceArchitecture #BehavioralEconomics #NudgeTheory #DefaultOptions #RetirementPlanning #AutoEnrollment #ConsumerPsychology #FinancialDecisions #MentalShortcuts #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsShow #SpendingHabits #InvestmentStrategy #MarketingEthics #DecisionMaking #LucasAndLuna #FinancialLiteracy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How The Endowment Effect Distorts Investment Portfolios
Sep 26, 202612 minS4
We dive into the psychological trap of holding onto losing assets simply because we own them. Using the classic Thaler and Kahneman experiments alongside real-world portfolio management failures, Lucas and Luna explore why investors struggle to sell underperforming stocks. We examine how emotional attachment overrides rational financial logic, leading to the disposition effect in daily trading. This episode breaks down specific behavioral patterns that cost millions and offers a framework for detaching ego from equity. If you have ever held a stock hoping it would break even rather than cutting losses, this analysis explains exactly why your brain is working against you. #BehavioralEconomics #InvestmentPsychology #DispositionEffect #LossAversion #PortfolioManagement #ThalerAndKahneman #EndowmentEffect #FinancialBias #MarketBehavior #RationalDecisionMaking #AssetAllocation #TradingStrategies #CognitiveBias #WealthBuilding #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsDaily #LucasAndLuna 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.
