In this show, Lucas and Luna dissect how businesses like Netflix, Uber, Salesforce, and McKinsey actually make money — comparing CAC, LTV, churn rates, and contribution margins. Lucas brings journalistic rigor, cross-referencing financial filings and case studies; Luna challenges assumptions about scalability, pricing power, and customer lock-in. Each episode centers on a single model or a head-to-head comparison, avoiding fluff for concrete numbers. This is for listeners who want to understand why some subscription businesses fail while others thrive, why marketplace liquidity matters more than user count, or how SaaS companies balance growth against profitability. No founder hype, no generic advice — just the mechanics behind real companies. How do you choose the right model for a new venture? When should a marketplace pivot to managed services?

They trace the shift from the 2015 IPO, where Ferrari spun off from Fiat Chrysler, to the current strategy of limiting production to around 10,000 cars per year while expanding personalization and brand licensing. The hosts break down how Ferrari's deliberate under-supply creates waiting lists of up to three years, boosts resale values, and allows the company to command an average selling price of over $350,000. They also discuss the Purosangue SUV launch, the 12Cilindri coupe, and how the brand maintains exclusivity by producing fewer cars than demand requires—even as it pushes into Formula 1 merchandise and theme parks. A concrete look at scarcity as a business model. #Ferrari #BusinessModel #Scarcity #LuxuryBrand #Exclusivity #Automotive #Personalization #BrandLicensing #Formula1 #Purosangue #12Cilindri #IPO #FiatChrysler #SupplyAndDemand #HighMargin #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how Ferrari transformed itself from a luxury car manufacturer into a high-margin, scarcity-driven business.
