The Renaissance Podcast
A "renaissance" signifies any revival, transformation, or renewed interest in something, often marked by a burst of creativity, intellectual activity, and cultural development. It’s time to start a Renaissance in your business and LIFE with The Renaissance Podcast, a weekly show for women entrepreneurs. This isn’t just any podcast—it’s your ultimate source for inspiration, education, and the spark you need to revive, renew, and infuse creativity and opportunity into your business.
Entrepreneurship is as much a mindset game as it is about business savvy. That’s why we’re bringing you wisdom from multi-six and seven-figure female founders who share how they support, grow, and operate their successful businesses. They have clarity around their missions and balance it all with home life, motherhood, and mental wellbeing. They're here to show you how they do it. We’re not fans of the “B” word (balance), but we believe it’s possible to run a business that gives you the keys to your dream life—including everything you love—your Renaissance life.
Hosted by Sydney Dozier, founder of Renaissance Marketing Group—one of Nashville’s top social media marketing agencies—and creator of the successful bi-annual Renaissance Women's Summit, this show is all about empowering women to live their Renaissance lives. Sydney’s mission is to inspire you to invest in yourself, because that positive impact WILL and DOES ripple through your business.
Expect to be inspired, empowered, uplifted, and encouraged. Say goodbye to that isolating feeling of being a woman entrepreneur—we’re here to build a community of Renaissance women who share openly and vulnerably about our business journeys.
Your Renaissance is just getting started, and we're so glad you're here!

Mastering Sales as an Executive: How to Sell with Confidence & Strategy with Dew Tinnin, Skillway Head Coach & CEO
Sales—it’s the lifeblood of any business, yet so many executives and entrepreneurs are winging it when it comes to selling. In this episode of The Renaissance Podcast, we sit down with Dew Tinnin, Head Coach & CEO of Skillway, to uncover game-changing sales strategies that help business leaders crush their goals and actually love selling in the process.
A specialist in relationship-based selling, Dew brings decades of experience from the finance and mortgage industry, training thousands of sales professionals as a national sales trainer for Wells Fargo before launching Skillway. She shares how executives and entrepreneurs must narrow their focus, emphasizing that you can only do one thing—and maybe two—effectively. Trying to do everything? You’re likely half-assing it all and missing out on true needle-moving activities.
Dew also reveals one of the biggest sales mistakes business owners make: blindly sending proposals via email. Instead, she shares a powerful proposal strategy—verbally walking prospects through pricing and expectations before sending anything over. By securing a verbal “yes” on pricing first, you set the stage for a smoother close and avoid unnecessary objections.
Whether you're a CEO, founder, or executive wearing multiple hats, this episode is packed with actionable sales tips tailored specifically for women in business. Don’t miss this conversation that could transform the way you approach sales forever!
