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!
The Renaissance Podcast is brought to you by Renaissance Marketing Group—a premier full-service social media agency based in Nashville.

From $5 to a Million-Dollar Cupcake Empire: Mignon François on Faith, Legacy & Building from Scratch
What if $5 and a dream were all you had? For Mignon François, that was her reality—and the beginning of a story that would inspire millions. This week on The Renaissance Podcast, we sit down with the powerhouse behind The Cupcake Collection, a #1 national best-selling author, entrepreneur, and woman of unwavering faith who turned financial struggle into a multi-million dollar cupcake empire.
In this episode, Mignon opens up about what it truly means to build a legacy from scratch, why she considers herself a “food scientist” rather than a chef, and how she’s using her story to empower others through entrepreneurship, faith, and fearless reinvention. From selling five million cupcakes to raising ten grandchildren and launching a new ministry, her journey is anything but ordinary.
We talk:
- Why baking was just the beginning
- The legacy she’s leaving for her grandchildren
- Her new business coaching program based on her book Made From Scratch
- How faith is guiding her next chapter in ministry
- The one thing she'd tell anyone starting with no roadmap
If you’ve ever doubted that something small could become something spectacular—this conversation is for you.
