  • How to Network with People Way More Senior Than You

    How to Network with People Way More Senior Than You
    2026/06/08
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna tackle a common career hurdle: reaching out to senior executives who seem untouchable. They break down the 'executive envelope' technique — a method for crafting cold emails that actually get replies — using a real example from a listener who landed a mentorship with a Fortune 500 CTO. Lucas explains why most outreach fails because it's too vague, and shares a specific framework: state your ask in one sentence, include a relevant insight, and propose a low-friction next step (like a 10-minute call). Luna pushes back on the fear of wasting senior people's time, and they discuss how to leverage warm introductions without feeling like a burden. The episode also covers what to do if you get ignored — and why persistence with a twist can work. Concrete, actionable, and grounded in real-world results. #Networking #CareerAdvice #ExecutiveOutreach #ColdEmail #Mentorship #ProfessionalGrowth #LinkedIn #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #JobSearch #Leadership #CommunicationSkills #Fortune500 #PersonalBrand #RelationshipBuilding #CareerCapital #NetworkingTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Networking Follow-Up That Wins the Job

    The Networking Follow-Up That Wins the Job
    2026/06/07
    Most job seekers obsess over the interview. But the real differentiator happens after the conversation ends. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down the anatomy of a networking follow-up that actually works — not a generic 'thanks for your time' email, but a specific, value-dense note that can flip a 'maybe' into a referral. They walk through a real case from an actual listener: a marketing professional who sent a carefully crafted follow-up after an informational interview and landed an internal referral at a FAANG company two weeks later. Lucas shares the exact structure — gratitude, a concrete insight from the conversation, a piece of useful information the contact didn't ask for, and a soft next step — and explains why most people skip the third element. Luna challenges whether the structure scales across industries. They also discuss the timing window (24 to 48 hours) and a simple calendar trick to avoid the common mistake of following up too late.

  • How a Networking Calendar Can Save You Months

    How a Networking Calendar Can Save You Months
    2026/06/07
    Lucas and Luna explore the power of proactive networking through a structured calendar system. Lucas shares how his friend Priya, a marketing director, used a quarterly networking calendar to maintain relationships without the scramble, landing a pivotal introduction that led to a new role at a $50 million company. They discuss the difference between reactive and intentional networking, the 90-day reset, and how to balance depth with breadth. Practical tips include using CRM tools like Notion or a simple spreadsheet, setting monthly coffee goals, and tracking relationship health. Luna pushes back on over-scheduling, and they refine the idea into a sustainable habit. A subtle donation segment ties the value of career support to listener appreciation. #Networking #CareerCapital #ProfessionalRelationships #LinkedInStrategy #CalendarSystem #RelationshipManagement #ProactiveNetworking #CareerPlanning #BusinessDevelopment #NetworkingHabits #ExecutivePresence #JobSearch #ReferralStrategy #CRM #RelationshipTracking #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Power of Unsolicited LinkedIn Recommendations

    The Power of Unsolicited LinkedIn Recommendations
    2026/06/06
    In this episode of Networking with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the untapped potential of writing LinkedIn recommendations for people you barely know. A 2025 study found that profiles with 5+ recommendations get 3x more profile views — but most professionals only write them when asked. Lucas shares the story of a marketing manager who wrote a genuine, specific recommendation for a former classmate she hadn't spoken to in 5 years. That classmate later became the hiring manager at her dream company. The hosts break down the mechanics: why unsolicited recommendations signal curiosity and generosity, how they create a non-transactional favor bank, and how to write one that doesn't sound generic. They also discuss when it might backfire — like recommending someone with a reputation for poor performance. The key takeaway: recommending others builds career capital because it costs you nearly nothing but creates outsized goodwill. As of June 2026, with LinkedIn's algorithm prioritizing engagement, a well-timed recommendation can also boost your own visibility. Listeners learn a concrete four-step formula for writing a recommendation in under 10 minutes. #LinkedIn #Networking #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalRelationships #Recommendations #CareerCapital #JobSearch #SocialProof #PersonalBrand #Generosity #Reciprocity #JobHunt #Alumni #SoftSkills #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NetworkingWithFexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How a Networking Habit Tracker Changed My Career

    How a Networking Habit Tracker Changed My Career
    2026/06/06
    Lucas and Luna explore the idea of using a personal networking habit tracker to stay consistent with relationship-building. Lucas shares his own experiment: for 90 days he logged every reach-out, coffee, and follow-up in a simple spreadsheet, tracking not just who he contacted but how the interaction felt. The surprising result wasn't more connections — it was better quality interactions and a clearer sense of who in his network truly mattered. Luna pushes back on over-engineering relationships, but finds the concept of intentional tracking compelling for anyone who struggles to remember to stay in touch. They discuss practical tools, what metrics actually matter, and how a low-friction system can replace the guilt of 'I should reach out more' with a sustainable habit. No apps, no gamification — just a spreadsheet and a five-minute weekly review. #Networking #CareerCapital #ProfessionalRelationships #HabitTracking #IntentionalNetworking #Spreadsheet #RelationshipBuilding #Consistency #NetworkingHabits #CareerGrowth #LinkedIn #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Productivity #SoftSkills #NetworkingTips #CareerStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    How a Simple Follow-Up Email Can Change Your Career Path
    2026/06/05
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the power of the follow-up email—a simple yet often overlooked networking tool. Using the story of a marketing manager who landed a dream role at Spotify through a single, well-timed follow-up email after a conference, they break down the anatomy of an effective follow-up, including timing, personalization, and the 'ask for a specific piece of advice' technique. Lucas shares data on response rates from a study of 100,000 LinkedIn messages, showing that follow-ups within 48 hours are six times more likely to get a reply. They also discuss common mistakes like generic templates and over-persistence. Listeners will walk away with a concrete template and a strategy to turn any brief connection into a meaningful professional relationship. Perfect for anyone looking to build career capital without aggressive networking. #FollowUpEmail #Networking #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalRelationships #LinkedIn #JobSearch #CareerCapital #Spotify #Marketing #ConferenceNetworking #EmailEtiquette #JobHunt #CareerTips #BusinessNetworking #CareerGrowth #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How to Network Using Your Informational Interview Notes

    How to Network Using Your Informational Interview Notes
    2026/06/05
    In this episode of Networking with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a counterintuitive networking strategy: sharing the notes you take during informational interviews. Lucas explains how a former colleague turned a single Google Doc into a referral pipeline by sending polished summaries back to the person she interviewed. Luna adds data from a 2025 Korn Ferry study showing that people who share insights from conversations are 23% more likely to receive a warm introduction. They discuss why most people stop at a thank-you email, and how sending a detailed recap — including anonymized takeaways from multiple chats — creates perceived value and reciprocity. Lucas breaks down the specific structure he recommends: a 3-5 paragraph summary with a key insight, a personal takeaway, and an offer to share more if helpful. They also touch on the role of LinkedIn in distributing these notes as posts. By the end, listeners will have a concrete, low-lift tactic to differentiate themselves in any job market. #Networking #InformationalInterviews #CareerAdvice #NoteTaking #KornFerry #Reciprocity #LinkedInStrategy #ProfessionalDevelopment #ReferralHacks #JobSearchTips #CareerCapital #BusinessNetworking #SoftSkills #InterviewTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #NetworkingWithFexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The 24-Hour Rule for Networking Follow-Ups
    2026/06/04
    Lucas and Luna break down the overlooked art of the networking follow-up, with a specific focus on the '24-hour rule' — why sending a note within a day of meeting someone can double your recall and open doors. They examine a 2025 study from Harvard Business School showing that follow-ups sent within 24 hours have a 47% higher response rate than those sent after 48 hours. Lucas shares his own system for writing follow-ups that are specific, not generic, and Luna pushes back on the idea that a quick 'great to meet you' is enough. They also discuss how to follow up when you don't have a clear ask, and the surprising power of following up months later.
