Every trading day, Lucas and Luna dissect the market-moving stories emerging from the five most valuable companies on earth. This is not a recap of product launches or earnings calls; it's a forensic look at how Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon shape the economy, competition, and regulation. Lucas brings a journalist's habit of tracking the long arc of antitrust battles, supply-chain shifts, and AI investment cycles, while Luna pushes him on the strategic trade-offs behind each headline—like why a cloud margin dip matters more than a phone shipment beat. Their conversations are built on specific numbers: market caps, R&D spend as a percentage of revenue, regulatory fines in euros versus dollars, and the actual language of SEC filings. The listener is someone who reads the tech section not for gadget reviews but for the power dynamics—someone who wants to understand how a single EU Digital Markets Act ruling can ripple through a trillion-dollar supply chain.

Why Big Tech Is Quietly Building Its Own DNS
Aug 20, 20268 minS4
This week on The Big Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna dig into a topic that rarely makes headlines but underpins the entire internet: the Domain Name System, or DNS. You type a name, your browser finds the address — but who runs the directories that make it happen? The answer, increasingly, is the big tech companies themselves. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Cloudflare have all built or bought their own DNS resolvers and backend infrastructure, moving away from relying on third parties. Lucas explains why this shift matters for privacy, speed, and resilience — and why it's part of a larger trend of big tech vertically integrating critical digital plumbing. They discuss the recent wave of DNS-over-HTTPS adoption, the role of anycast routing, and what happens when one company controls the directory. They also touch on how this relates to the broader market pullback in tech stocks this week, with Meta down seven and a half percent over five days. If you've ever wondered who really runs the internet's phone book, this episode is for you. #DNS #BigTech #Apple #Google #Microsoft #Cloudflare #InternetInfrastructure #Cybersecurity #Privacy #TechPolicy #VerticalIntegration #Anycast #DNSOverHTTPS #TechNews #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBigTechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Apple and Google have spent years refining how apps get reviewed, but a new wave of AI-powered tools is quietly reshaping the process. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the specifics: Apple's expanded use of automated checks for privacy labels, Google's recent push to let developers appeal faster, and the numbers behind a growing backlog of submissions. They discuss what this means for the small developer trying to ship an update, and why the review process is becoming a strategic battleground for the platform giants. Along the way, they touch on Meta's recent eight percent drop and what it says about the broader tech selloff, and they share a candid note about how the podcast stays ad-free thanks to a handful of listeners who chip in monthly. #AppReview #Apple #Google #AI #Developers #Privacy #AppStore #GooglePlay #BigTech #TechPolicy #Meta #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #DigitalEconomy #Software #PlatformEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
On this episode of The Big Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna drill into the fast-growing market for renting out AI compute. With NVIDIA's stock dipping nearly 2 percent over the past five days and Meta down more than 6 percent, the hosts discuss why hyperscalers are increasingly selling excess GPU capacity by the hour. They unpack the economics of the spot market for AI chips, the rise of dedicated GPU cloud providers, and what this means for startups that can't justify buying their own hardware. A fresh angle on the AI infrastructure boom, with real numbers and a clear-eyed look at who profits when compute becomes a utility. #AICompute #GPUCloud #BigTech #NVIDIA #Microsoft #Amazon #Meta #TechInfrastructure #CloudComputing #Startups #DataCenters #AI #ChipRental #TechBusiness #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechNews Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of The Big Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna dig into the unprecedented spyware alert that hit a wave of Apple users in August 2026, and how the company traced it back to a mercenary spyware operation. They unpack what the alert actually says, why this wave feels different, and how Apple’s threat notifications have quietly become a frontline tool against state-backed hacking. Along the way, they connect it to the broader market picture: Apple’s resilience amid the week’s tech selloff, with Microsoft and Meta down five percent, and why security investments are becoming a bigger part of big tech’s capex story. Lucas also explains why the spyware was likely delivered through a zero-click exploit, and what that means for everyday users. Luna brings her own take on whether Apple’s warnings are enough. Please note that this episode discusses a real-world security issue but avoids naming any specific government or agency. The episode also touches on the broader trend of tech giants absorbing AI startups like Relay, whose team just joined Google’s Chrome division. #AppleSpywareAlert #MercenarySpyware #ZeroClickExploit #AppleThreatNotification #CyberSecurity #BigTech #GoogleChrome #TechNews #August2026 #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #AIStartup #TechMergers #AppleSecurity #SpywareProtection #PrivacyMatters Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta are locking in multi-billion-dollar reservations for AI compute capacity years ahead of delivery. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down why the biggest tech companies are treating GPU access like a futures market, what the recent dip in Amazon's stock tells us about investor nerves, and how this shifts the balance of power toward infrastructure players like NVIDIA. They also connect the dots to the rising scrutiny of AI trust, from Anthropic's warning about a crisis of trust to the legal fallout over AI-generated imagery. If you've wondered why the AI race looks less like a product war and more like a commodities play, this episode explains the shift with concrete numbers and a clear-eyed look at what it means for startups and consumers. #AIComputeFutures #BigTech #NVIDIA #Amazon #Microsoft #Google #Apple #Meta #Technology #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GPUShortage #CloudInfrastructure #AIIndustry #TechStrategy #DataCenters #AIInvestment 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.
