    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

    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.

  • How One Networking Coffee Changed a Career Trajectory

    How One Networking Coffee Changed a Career Trajectory
    2026/06/04
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the surprising power of unstructured, low-stakes coffee meetings. They dissect a real case where a single 20-minute coffee chat led to a series of introductions that ultimately landed a mid-career marketing professional a director-level role at a Fortune 500 company. They break down the specific tactics used: how to ask for the meeting without sounding desperate, what to talk about when there's no agenda, and how to follow up in a way that keeps the door open. They also discuss the psychological barrier most people face—the fear of 'wasting someone's time'—and why that fear is almost always unfounded. Along the way, they share research on how weak ties and informal conversations create more career opportunities than formal networking events. If you've ever hesitated to send that LinkedIn message asking for a coffee, this episode will give you the script and the confidence to do it. #Networking #CareerAdvice #CoffeeMeeting #WeakTies #LinkedIn #CareerCapital #ProfessionalGrowth #JobSearch #Fortune500 #MidCareer #Marketing #Introduction #FollowUp #Business #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #NetworkingTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How a Weak LinkedIn Connection Can Still Open a Door

    How a Weak LinkedIn Connection Can Still Open a Door
    2026/06/03
    Lucas and Luna explore the surprising value of 'barely-there' connections on LinkedIn — the people you've never met, never messaged, and have only the weakest digital tie to. They look at a real case from 2025 where a software engineer landed a Series B role through a second-degree connection whose profile they had never even clicked. The conversation digs into why weak ties often outperform strong ones, the math behind network serendipity, and a specific three-step pattern for turning a passive LinkedIn connection into an actual conversation without feeling like a spammer. If you have 500+ connections and wonder why they never lead anywhere, this episode offers a concrete fix. #LinkedIn #WeakTies #Networking #CareerCapital #HiddenJobMarket #SecondDegreeConnections #SocialCapital #Serendipity #ColdOutreach #ProfessionalNetworking #JobSearchStrategy #RelationshipBuilding #Referral #DigitalNetworking #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #NetworkingWithFexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
