The Renaissance Podcast
A "renaissance" signifies any revival 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
Success Isn’t a Finish Line—It’s a Mindset
In this week's solo episode, Sydney opens with a Memorial Day reflection, honoring those who have served—including her father, brother, sister in law, and grandfather. With deep gratitude, she transitions into a message that so many women entrepreneurs need to hear right now:
✨ You are not behind.
✨ You are right where you're meant to be.
✨ And there’s no such thing as an overnight success.
Sydney peels back the pressure we put on ourselves to “arrive” faster and reminds us that growth is not a straight line—it’s built in quiet mornings, long nights, and the brave decision to keep going. Featuring a powerful quote from Gary Vaynerchuk, and stories of three iconic women who found massive success later in life—Vera Wang, Sara Blakely, and Kendra Scott—this episode is your reminder that you’re on time.
Sydney also shares her own 10-year journey as a founder, including a recent challenging season filled with loss, transition, and the unknown. Her message is clear: success isn’t a finish line—it’s a mindset.
Highlights:
- A Memorial Day tribute and personal story
- Gary Vee’s reminder: “You’re just early.”
- The real (later-in-life) success stories of Vera Wang, Sara Blakely, and Kendra Scott
- Sydney’s raw look at the past year inside Renaissance
- Encouragement for every woman in a season of building, waiting, or rebuilding
If you’ve been feeling behind, this episode is your permission slip to exhale—and keep building.
You are a Renaissance Woman. Keep showing up. Keep building. And know—you have time.
