Lucas and Luna examine the business and technology of 5G — the network architecture, carrier strategies, spectrum auctions, and infrastructure buildout that underpin next-generation wireless. Each episode picks a single angle: how a carrier like Verizon or T-Mobile is deploying millimeter-wave vs. mid-band spectrum, the financials of tower-REITs like American Tower and Crown Castle, or the supply-chain dynamics behind radio equipment from Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung. They analyze FCC auction results, compare capex plans across operators, and break down the implications of Open RAN and network slicing for enterprise customers. Lucas brings the numbers — spectrum license costs, per-subscriber revenue, tower lease escalators — while Luna challenges the hype, asking whether 5G's low-latency promises will materialize for autonomous vehicles or remain a fixed-wireless access story. The show is for investors, telecom professionals, and tech strategists who need a clear, data-driven take on t

Why Your Phone Hates The Edge Of Coverage
Sep 29, 20267 minS4
We look at the hidden physics of millimeter-wave 5G and why signal strength is a zero-sum game. Lucas and Luna break down how small cell density, building materials, and atmospheric absorption create coverage dead zones in dense urban environments. We examine the trade-off between peak speed and reliability, using real-world examples from major carriers deploying mid-band versus high-band networks. Learn why your phone battery drains faster on 5G and what that means for the future of mobile infrastructure investment. #5GTechnology #WirelessNetworks #MobileInfrastructure #MillimeterWave #SmallCells #SignalStrength #CarrierStrategy #UrbanPlanning #TechEconomics #NetworkCoverage #BatteryDrain #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TelecomIndustry #EngineeringPhysics #ConsumerTech #InfrastructureInvestment #DigitalDivide Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We break down the hidden engineering compromise in modern cellular networks: why your device drops speed or calls when moving between cell towers. Lucas and Luna explore the concept of handover latency, the role of small cells in dense urban areas, and why carrier investments in mid-band spectrum are actually hurting battery life for millions of users right now. Using a specific case study from a major metropolitan transit hub, we explain the physics of signal degradation and what it means for your next smartphone upgrade. #5GTechnology #CellularNetworks #MobileInfrastructure #SignalLatency #SmallCells #MidBandSpectrum #BatteryDrain #NetworkHandover #TelecomEngineering #SmartphoneHardware #WirelessSignals #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechExplained #ConsumerElectronics #UrbanConnectivity #RadioFrequency #NetworkOptimization Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We break down the hidden energy tax of millimeter-wave connectivity and how next-generation base stations are fixing the battery drain problem that has frustrated smartphone users since 5G launched. Lucas and Luna explore why high-band spectrum demands more power from your device, what Qualcomm and MediaTek are changing in their chipsets, and whether the upcoming 6G transition will finally solve the efficiency gap between network speed and device longevity. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechNews #5GTechnology #MobileInfrastructure #BatteryLife #SmartphoneHardware #MillimeterWave #ChipsetDesign #Qualcomm #MediaTek #EnergyEfficiency #WirelessNetworks #ConsumerTech #TelecomIndustry #BaseStationTech #RFEngineering #FutureOfConnectivity Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We dig into the infrastructure race between traditional utilities and new entrants, using the recent $4.2 billion merger between American Electric Power and its transmission partner as a case study for why mid-band spectrum is becoming the most valuable asset in energy management. Lucas and Luna break down how low-latency communication is finally enabling real-time load balancing across thousands of distributed renewable sources, and why the regulatory hurdles at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission are slowing adoption more than technology ever could. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnergyInfrastructure #SmartGrid #5GTechnology #AmericanElectricPower #MidBandSpectrum #RenewableEnergy #LoadBalancing #UtilityTech #FERC #TransmissionLines #Latency #GridModernization #CleanEnergyTransition #TelecomStrategy #DigitalUtilities #InfrastructureInvestment Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Small Cells Are Powering The Smart Grid Revolution
Sep 25, 20269 minS4
As the electric grid modernizes, the challenge isn't just generating power but managing the complex flow of data from millions of sensors. Lucas and Luna explore how low-power wireless networks, specifically narrowband IoT using LTE-M technology, are replacing legacy copper wires in smart metering and substation monitoring. They examine a specific case study of a mid-sized utility deploying thousands of small cells to reduce outage response times by forty percent, highlighting the infrastructure shift that makes real-time grid balancing possible. This episode dives into the engineering reality behind the smart grid, moving beyond the hype to look at the actual hardware and protocols enabling this transition. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SmartGrid #NarrowbandIoT #LTE-M #SmallCells #UtilityInfrastructure #EnergyTech #TelecomNetworks #GridModernization #WirelessSensors #PowerDistribution #5GUseCases #IndustrialIoT #DigitalInfrastructure #SmartMeters #NetworkEngineering #CleanEnergy 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.
