Sophia Kianni has teamed up with philanthropist Phoebe Gates for a raw, honest, and often hilarious new podcast about what it means to care deeply in a world that’s constantly on fire. Part of Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network, The Burnouts amassed an astounding 130k listens on YouTube alone for its first episode. Soaring in popularity after just one month, the podcast brings listeners along for the ride as these two Stanford roommates-turned-business partners (who founded and recently launched Phia, an AI-powered fashion app) dive into the conversations that matter—with no filter and no fluff.
A prolific keynote speaker who has spoken at major events and universities worldwide, Sophia and her work have been profiled by The New York Times, CNN, Vogue, Business Insider, BBC, NPR, ELLE, NBC, The Washington Post, and more. She was recently a guest on Alex Cooper's chart-topping podcast, Call Her Daddy, and has quickly become one of our most popular speakers.
