The Ecommerce Hour with Fexingo: Online Stores, DTC Brands, and Digital Retail

Lucas and Luna run the numbers on the direct-to-consumer economy — not the hype, but the unit economics. Each episode picks a live DTC brand (Hims, Allbirds, Casper, Warby Parker) or a digital retail platform (Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon Seller Central) and dissects its customer acquisition cost, average order value, lifetime value, and capital efficiency. Lucas, a journalist turned ecommerce analyst, traces the story behind the spreadsheet: how Glossier’s supply chain broke, why Brooklinen survived the cotton crisis, what Peloton’s churn rate really tells us. Luna, a former brand operator, pushes back with fulfillment realities, margin math, and the unglamorous work of retention. Together they separate signal from noise — no PR spin, no founder worship, just the data that predicts whether a store or platform will last. This show is for founders, operators, and investors who know that a beautiful website means nothing if the logistics bleed red. Can a DTC brand scale without falling into the 'trap of growth'? Lucas and Luna find the answer in the numbers — and in the stories behind them.
