Where can you listen?

Every growth marketer knows the math: acquisition without activation is a leaky funnel, and retention without loops is a treadmill. This show is the whiteboard session where Lucas and Luna break down the actual mechanics of getting users in, getting them hooked, and getting them to bring others. No platitudes, no 'growth hacks' — just cohort analyses, unit economics, and the network effects that separate fleeting spikes from compound growth. Lucas draws from real case studies (Dropbox's referral program, Duolingo's streak mechanics, Superhuman's activation thresholds) and recent public data; Luna challenges assumptions about cost per acquisition and lifetime value, pushing the conversation toward the second-order effects that most playbooks miss. Together, they dissect what makes a loop self-sustaining, when to optimize for speed over retention, and why the best growth strategies often feel counterintuitive. Each episode lands on a single tension: the trade-off between virality and quality, the point where paid acquisition cannibalizes organic, or the moment a retention loop becomes a trap. If you're a marketing lead, product manager, or founder who thinks in terms of funnel stages and cohort curves — and you are tired of the hype — this is the conversation you wish your Monday-morning standup could have.#GrowthMarketing #Acquisition #Activation #RetentionLoops #ViralLoops #CohortAnalysis #UnitEconomics #NetworkEffects #ProductLedGrowth #MarketingStrategy #Dropbox #Duolingo #Superhuman #CustomerAcquisitionCost #LifetimeValue #Business #FexingoBusiness #MarketingPodcastKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
