Every weekday, Lucas and Luna sit down in a business lounge to parse the day's most consequential developments in global trade, cross-border dealmaking, and multinational corporate strategy. This is not a news headline recap. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional memory—tariff schedules, currency hedging costs, bilateral investment treaty case law—while Luna presses on the messy human realities: how a logistics manager in Rotterdam adapts to new customs protocols, why a German Mittelstand company chooses Vietnam over Mexico, what happens to a supply chain when a single port in the South China Sea freezes. They walk through real cases: a recent foreign-acquisition approval blocked by CFIUS, a shift in EU carbon-border adjustment enforcement, a Japanese trading conglomerate's pivot into African lithium. The show is built for executives, trade lawyers, procurement heads, and sovereign-wealth analysts who need more than a headline—they need the strategic nuance behind the cross-border

Episode #166
How Brazil Is Becoming the New Trade and Investment Hub
Aug 21, 20266 minS4
In this episode of International Business with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how Brazil is quietly transforming into a major hub for global trade and investment. With the S&P 500 down nearly 1 percent over the past week and emerging markets showing surprising strength—Brazil's ETF up 3.6 percent—they dig into the forces behind this shift. From record agricultural exports and a rising middle class to a government pushing infrastructure and green energy, Brazil is positioning itself as a key player in the post-pandemic supply chain realignment. Lucas breaks down the numbers, including a trade surplus that widened to $73 billion in June, and Luna challenges the idea that Brazil is just another commodity play. They discuss the risks—political volatility, currency swings, and a heavy reliance on China—and what it means for multinationals looking to diversify. Whether you're an investor, a trade analyst, or just curious about the new map of global commerce, this episode offers a clear-eyed look at why Brazil matters now and what could derail its ascent. Tune in for a data-rich conversation that goes beyond the headlines. #BrazilTrade #EmergingMarkets #GlobalSupplyChain #ExportSurge #InfrastructureInvestment #GreenEnergy #AgricultureExports #CurrencyRisk #ChinaTrade #MultinationalStrategy #TradeDiversification #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InternationalTrade #Economy #Investment #LatinAmerica #Globalization Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Episode 165 of International Business with Fexingo looks at the quiet but powerful return of Treasury buybacks and why they matter far beyond Washington. On August 20, 2026, the Dow fell 600 points after a Treasury plan to tamp down yields failed, and we dig into that moment. We explain what buybacks are, why the Treasury is using them now, and how they ripple through global trade, from the dollar to emerging markets. Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics, the market reaction, and what it means for exporters, importers, and anyone watching cross-border money flows. They also touch on the trade deficit narrowing to $73 billion in June and the dollar's slide, which is quietly reshaping competitiveness. If you trade, ship, or invest internationally, this episode gives you a clear lens on a policy tool that's suddenly front and center. Plus, a nod to how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #TreasuryBuybacks #GlobalMarkets #FederalReserve #USDollar #TradeDeficit #EmergingMarkets #BondMarket #FiscalPolicy #MonetaryPolicy #InternationalTrade #Investing #Economics #Business #Finance #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketAnalysis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Global trade is booming, but the money moving it is getting harder to find. Trade finance — the loans and letters of credit that underwrite cross-border shipments — is emerging as a hidden bottleneck, with banks pulling back and a $2.5 trillion gap in financing. Lucas and Luna dig into why the cost of financing a container of goods has spiked, how the US dollar's slide and Fed rate decisions are squeezing emerging markets, and why fintechs like the Singapore-based Incomlend are stepping in. They look at the numbers: the US trade deficit narrowing to $73 billion, exports up to $3.75 trillion, and a weaker dollar that should help exporters — but banks are still reluctant. With fresh data on August 19, 2026, they unpack the ripple effects from Vietnam to Brazil, and ask whether the real trade war is over credit, not tariffs. A sharp, street-level look at the plumbing of global commerce. #TradeFinance #GlobalTrade #SupplyChain #LettersOfCredit #Incomlend #EmergingMarkets #USDollar #FedPolicy #TradeDeficit #ExportFinance #Fintech #Business #Economy #InternationalBusiness #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeWar #CreditCrunch Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How the US Dollar's Slide Is Quietly Reshaping Global Trade
Aug 18, 20268 minS4
The dollar is down, but not out. On this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack what a softer dollar actually means for multinationals, emerging markets, and the shifting geography of global trade. They explain why a weaker dollar doesn't automatically boost US exports, how it's changing the calculus for companies like Apple and Toyota, and why the recent dip in the trade-weighted dollar index matters more than the headlines suggest. With the dollar index at 118.9 and the euro hovering around 1.16, the hosts drill into the mechanics: who wins, who loses, and what the next few months might hold. If you've ever wondered why currency moves are the invisible hand behind so many business decisions, this episode gives you the framework to see it clearly. Tune in for a sharp, grounded look at one of the most underappreciated forces in the global economy today. #USDollar #GlobalTrade #CurrencyMarkets #Multinationals #EmergingMarkets #TradeWeightedDollar #Apple #Toyota #Euro #Yen #Exports #Imports #TradeBalance #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Poland is quietly becoming the manufacturing backbone of Europe, attracting record foreign investment as German factories struggle with energy costs and labor shortages. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the numbers: Poland's exports have surged 18 percent year-over-year, and its industrial output now rivals that of Italy. They look at how the country has leveraged its position in European supply chains, from electric vehicle batteries to aerospace components, and why companies like Intel are betting big on Polish fabs. The conversation touches on the broader trend of near-shoring and 'friend-shoring' reshaping global trade routes, drawing parallels to Mexico's rise in North America. With the dollar easing and the euro zone's manufacturing woes, Poland's moment may have arrived. But it's not without risks—labor costs are climbing, and infrastructure is straining. Lucas and Luna discuss what this means for investors, supply chain managers, and anyone watching the new map of European industry. #PolandManufacturing #EuropeanTrade #Nearshoring #FriendShoring #SupplyChains #EVBatteries #IntelPoland #GlobalTrade #Business #Economics #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PolishExports #ManufacturingHub #IndustrialPolicy #InvestInPoland #EurozoneTrade Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

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.

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.
