“The business I have today exists because I made decisions before I felt ready. I hired when it scared me. I started before it was perfect. And I showed up every day not as the business owner I was—but the one I knew I was becoming.”

In this solo episode, Sydney is pulling back the curtain on the mindset and execution shifts that helped her grow Renaissance Marketing Group, launch sold-out summits across the country, and step into a version of herself she hadn’t yet fully met—but trusted enough to build for.

If you're a small business owner, entrepreneur, or founder in a season of transition—or you know there’s a bigger version of yourself on the horizon—this episode is for you.

In This Episode:

1. Make decisions based on where you’re headed—not where you’re standing

• The mindset shift that changed everything
• How forecasting and future-casting help you break free from playing small

2. Hire before you’re comfortable—not after you’re drowning

• Why delegation is the first step in stepping into your CEO role
• How hiring before you're “ready” creates space for growth

3. Operate your business like you take it seriously—because you do

• Systems, structure, and why “showing up like the future you” matters
• Behind the scenes of how Sydney prepared her business (and team) for her maternity leave—and what happened next

“The next version of you isn’t waiting for perfect conditions. She’s waiting for you to believe in her enough to act. So make the call. Hit publish. Show up like her. And run your business for the woman you’re becoming.”

Renaissance Founders is our newest done-for-you personal brand package designed for female founders ready to grow online—without doing it all themselves.

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.

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.

What if taking a step back is exactly what your business needs to move forward?

In this solo episode, our founder and host, Sydney Dozier, is pulling back the curtain on what maternity leave has really looked like — and how it’s transformed the way she views sustainability, leadership, and longevity in business. A month into leave with her second baby, Sydney shares the 3 biggest (and most unexpected) lessons she’s learned about building a business that doesn’t just survive while you’re gone... but thrives.

Whether you’re a mama, a future mama, or just a founder craving more space and sanity in your work — this one’s for you.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

• Why space is essential for your brilliance to shine — and how to build it into your calendar before burnout forces you to.
• Why stepping away doesn’t lose you respect — it earns it (plus how your team might surprise you in the best way).
• Why mindset is still the most powerful tool in your business toolbox — and how Sydney’s January intention-setting episode came full circle.

You’ll also hear about the book that was a game-changer in preparing for this season:
Scale or Fail by Allison Maslan — highly recommend grabbing it on Audible!

Sustainability in business isn’t built in the hustle — it’s built in the pauses. It’s in the quiet moments where vision gets clearer, trust gets deeper, and longevity takes root.

Take a moment to reflect:
Where do you need more space? More trust? More mindset shifts?
DM us or leave a review with the lesson that hit home — we love hearing what resonates.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• How Jackie transitioned from law to mindset coaching
