  4. Phoebe Gates & Sophia Kianni (Phia) on Disrupting Fashion, Rethinking Retail, and Building a Business That’s Good for the Planet
The fashion industry is facing a reckoning—from how clothes are
made to how they’re resold. And Phia, a new tech-driven platform,
is betting that the future of shopping is secondhand, smarter, and
more sustainable. In this episode, Sammi sits down with Phia
co-founders Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni to talk about how they
went from brainstorming ideas in their Stanford dorm room to
building a company that’s rethinking retail. They share how Phia
uses tech to track price drops and spotlight resale options, why
they’re betting on browser extensions and Gen Z, and how their
backgrounds have helped them build a mission-driven brand from the
ground up. Follow Sammi on Instagram here Subscribe to the Social

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
