It’s our 150th episode! 🎉 And what better way to celebrate than with a powerful solo episode from our host, Sydney Dozier.

You’ve heard it before: “The riches are in the niches.”  or "Niche down!" It’s catchy. It’s all over your feed. And while there’s some truth to it… it’s also become a trap.

In this milestone episode, Sydney challenges the idea that niching down is the only path to success. Especially for multifaceted women building legacy brands and businesses with longevity, the pressure to pick a lane and stay in it can feel limiting — and honestly, exhausting.

This isn’t just a social media podcast. This is a business-building podcast with soul. And at Renaissance, we don’t just care about what you’re posting — we care about who’s behind the brand, what you’re building, and how to help you create something that lasts.

Inside the episode:

  • 3 truth checks on the phrase “The riches are in the niches” or "Niche down" when it comes to marketing your personal brand
  • Why niching down shouldn’t mean shrinking yourself
  • The power of multidimensional branding
  • Why people follow you — not your product or your niche
  • A gut check and permission slip to show up more fully online

If your content feels flat, if you’ve felt boxed in, or if you’ve been craving a way to reconnect with the whole you — this is your sign.
