This week on The Renaissance Podcast, we sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur, visionary, and connector Angie Lawless—a woman redefining what it means to lead with purpose in both business and life.

From walking away from corporate law to founding Wagon Wheel Title, a company that’s facilitated over 25,000 home closings in Nashville, Angie’s journey is one of bold moves, heart-led decisions, and an unshakable belief in meaningful work. But her story doesn’t stop there. Angie went on to launch multiple businesses across real estate, law, and insurance, author a book (Climbing the Charts), and host two podcasts—all while raising four children and championing causes that matter.

In this episode, Angie opens up about:

  • The leap from corporate law to entrepreneurship without a set plan
  • Why chasing passion—not profit—is her ultimate currency
  • Navigating mom guilt and redefining success as a working mom
  • Building businesses with trusted partners who carry their weight
  • Her biggest lessons on scaling with impact and trusting her team
  • Finding deeper purpose and fulfillment beyond business
