Yesterday, Phoebe was joined by her friend and business partner, Sophia Kianni, at "Sticking with Style," a new podcast launched by Command Brand and hosted by Tay Nakamoto.

The podcast is designed for college students, with Phoebe and Sophia's episode providing listeners with ideas and inspiration to decorate their dorm rooms in a way that's comfortable, fashionable, and accessible. It explored various topics, including helpful ways of merging your style with your roommate's and incorporating fashion trends into your small space.

The podcast appearance is another instance of Phoebe using social media for fashion and lifestyle, two major parts of her career and line of work. 

Phoebe and Sophia recently launched Phia, a company that labels itself the "Google flights for fashion." What does this mean? According to its website, Phia allows you to compare fashion prices from across the internet, allowing users to easily view different products and compare their prices without having to do much research.

Over the past months, Phoebe has become a more prominent person on social media following the launch of her podcast, The Burnouts. In it, she's discussed some of the challenges of growing up as Bill Gates' daughter. "I had so much insecurity and such a desire to prove myself at Stanford," she said in an episode of her podcast.

"I came in, I was like, 'I'm so privileged, I'm a nepo baby', like I had so much insecurity around that. I feel it's so hard when you're a freshman in college because you have no experience. You have nothing."
