239. Sofia Franklyn: One hoodie making over $1M?! From Stanley Morgan to podcasting, how she built her own empire post-Barstool, being up front about finances and being on her own journey

This week, Jason is joined by  social media personality and podcast host, Sofia Franklyn!
Sofia established herself as one of the first true podcast success stories while co-hosting the Call Her Daddy podcast during her time at Barstool Sports dating back to 2018. After leaving Barstool Sports in 2020, she then started her own podcast Sofia with an F, which has also proven to be a massive success. Sofia, however, is not just a podcaster but also a trailblazer in her own right, known for her fearless approach to discussing topics such as sex, friendships, and mental health. From her beginnings to her current ventures, Sofia has captivated her audiences with her unique perspective and unwavering authenticity.
Sofia opens up about why she keeps her relationships private and how her mom’s past shaped her dating standards. She unpacks the viral podcast clip that sparked debate on Fox News, when she chooses to talk finances with a partner, and her take on red, beige, and green flags. She shares why she believes women are often unfairly judged and how that’s impacted her personal and professional choices. Sofia also reflects on majoring in economics, working at Morgan Stanley while secretly recording Call Her Daddy, and the lessons she learned about contracts and business. She details how she rebuilt her career after a public fallout, what helped her rise again in the podcasting world, where she sees the industry going, her dream guests, and how she handled being villainized—and what she’s planning next.
Sofia reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
