In today’s episode, I’m sharing the 10 biggest lessons I learned in 2025 — in business, motherhood, leadership, and life.

This year stretched me, grounded me, and taught me what it truly means to run a company while raising babies, lead a team with clarity, build a brand ecosystem with intention, and show up honestly in my personal brand.

If you’re an ambitious woman building something meaningful in a full, chaotic season, I hope this episode meets you right where you are.

We cover:
✨ Growing a business and a family without burning out
✨ What hiring and delegation taught me
✨ Why brand synergy matters
✨ Protecting your time like a CEO
✨ How process actually fuels creativity
✨ What happened when I dropped the “perfect” act
✨ Why “full” doesn’t mean failing
✨ And why you can’t build a Renaissance in others unless you’re building one in yourself

Taylor Swift’s newest album The Life of a Showgirl has officially dropped… and the reviews are anything but quiet. In this bonus episode, Sydney and the Renaissance team sit down to break down the cultural moment, the fan theories, and our unfiltered thoughts on Taylor’s latest era.

The reaction has been split.
Some critics have called the album “shallow” and “lacking the emotional depth” of her previous work.

But not everyone agrees.

• People Magazine called it “a dazzling return to form,” highlighting its buoyant sound, earworm hooks, and retro production.
• Variety praised it as “a contagiously joyful record.”

We unpack it all — from the backlash to the praise — and dive into three major life updates surrounding this release:

• Taylor finally owns all of her masters
• She’s engaged to Travis Kelce
• This album follows The Tortured Poets Department — arguably her most emotionally raw record to date

Plus, we explore the fan theory that many of these songs sound eerily similar to other pop hits.

Listen in for a fun, honest, and slightly chaotic Renaissance-style breakdown of one of the most talked-about albums of the year.

What if the real growth in life doesn’t come from constantly consuming and hustling—but from pausing to integrate what you’ve already learned?

In this powerful conversation, Sydney sits down with Elizabeth Moore, co-founder of TRILUNA, to talk about the often-overlooked seasons of integration—the moments where we stop exhausting ourselves with nonstop education and instead implement, embody, and live it. Together, they explore what integration looks like across business, wellness, and motherhood.

Elizabeth opens up about:

• What surprised her most about becoming a mother while also running a business—emotionally, mentally, and logistically.
• The moments she questioned if she could keep leading her business in early motherhood—and how she pushed through.
• The realities of running a business partnership, having hard conversations, and setting transparent expectations.
• The pressure women feel to “do it all” and what she would say to someone trying to balance growing a business while raising a baby.
• Reflecting on the messy, beautiful integration of business leadership and new motherhood.

Elizabeth Moore is a lifelong creative and the co-founder of TRILUNA, a company that redefines wellness as inclusive, accessible, and rooted in connection. Through TRILUNA, she brings mindfulness, movement, and intention to events of all kinds, helping organizations foster deeper engagement and well-being. A proud mom and woman of many passions, Elizabeth finds her deepest sense of wellness in community, creativity, and time spent in nature.

This episode is for every woman who has ever wondered if she could balance her ambition with motherhood—and what it looks like to thrive when you stop trying to “do it all” and start integrating what matters most.

This week, we’re bringing you something special—the live recording of my recent conversation with Kimeran Johnson, COO of NexusPoint, all about one of the most underrated growth strategies in business: delegation.

We dive into how shifting from “doing it all” to strategically handing things off can unlock time, profit, and peace of mind. I also share my own journey with delegation—how one intentional hire gave me the space to take a business course, land and onboard some of our biggest (and most aligned) clients, spend more time with my family, and create the white space needed to actually grow Renaissance Marketing Group.

Whether you’re a founder who’s burning out or a leader ready to step into your zone of genius, this conversation will give you the mindset shifts and tactical steps you need to scale with confidence.

Presented in Partnership with NexusPoint

Feeling overwhelmed in your business? If you're stuck in the weeds, NexusPoint helps founders streamline operations and integrate global talent—so you can lead like a CEO, not just survive like an operator.

About This Week's Episode:

You're tracking your close rate... but are you tracking your alignment rate?

In this week’s episode of The Renaissance Podcast, we’re unpacking what it really means to attract clients who not only pay well—but feel like a full-body yes to work with.

I’m walking you through the five steps to attracting dream clients in a service-based business, and why quality over quantity is the name of the game. If you’ve ever felt burned out by misaligned clients who don’t respect your process, drain your energy, or leave your team scrambling—this one’s for you.

We’ll explore:

• How to identify and define aligned client “green flags”
• Why your messaging may be attracting the wrong clients—and how to fix it
• One out-of-the-box networking strategy that has changed everything for us at RMG in attracting high ticket clients
• How to position your work to attract the right eyes
• And how to become the kind of provider your dream clients are looking for

Because the truth is: your dream clients are already out there.
It’s time to get intentional about how you’re calling them in—without chasing, burning out, or compromising your value.

About this week's episode:

What do you get when you mix fierce determination, radical visibility, and a heart for empowering women? You get Trish Ware—a Nashville-based mom of seven, birth educator turned business coach, and the powerhouse behind not one, but two massively successful online businesses.

In this episode of The Renaissance Podcast, Sydney sits down with Trish to unpack how she scaled her niche birth education platform, Labor Nurse Mama, into a 7-figure empire that’s changed the lives of thousands of women. From there, Trish boldly transitioned into coaching and mentoring women entrepreneurs, helping them ditch fear, embrace their voice, and build aligned, profitable brands of their own.

Trish gets real about balancing motherhood, healing from trauma, leaving an abusive marriage, and raising seven children—all while growing a movement that challenges societal norms and inspires women to rise.

We cover:

• The moment Trish realized her passion project could be so much more
• Why lessons from the birth world gave her an edge in business
• Her top advice for women who feel "not ready" to be seen
• The exact strategies that helped her scale without burning out
• And the one bold move that changed everything

If you're ready to trade fear for authority, and burnout for alignment—this conversation is for you.

“Empowered” gets thrown around constantly—but what does it really mean to feel empowered in your business and life?

In this honest, heart-centered solo, Sydney unpacks the real meaning of empowerment—not the glittery Instagram version, but the kind that keeps you going when no one’s watching.

• A personal story where Sydney didn’t feel empowered—but kept going anyway
• Why reconnecting with your why is essential to sustainable growth

With the rise of AI, what’s always going to be on trend as a business owner in your social media?

Your humanness. Your authenticity. Your SELF.

In this solo episode, host Sydney Dozier breaks down exactly why founders need to be showing up as the face of their brand—now more than ever.

We're living in an era where 86% of consumers say authenticity influences which brands they support, and nearly 80% admit they can’t tell what content is real vs. AI-generated. That means the only way to stand out is to lean in. Show your face. Speak from the heart. Let people know who you are behind the brand.

This is for the woman building something meaningful who’s ready to match the impact of her business with the presence of her personal brand.

In This Episode:

1. Why faceless brands are dead—and how people are the new influencers
2. How to humanize your brand in the age of AI
3. Why trust is the new currency in a noisy, digital world
4. How to be seen as the expert and the whole human you are
5. How consistent visibility leads to big opportunities (speaking gigs, partnerships, podcasts & more)

Want to grow your personal brand with strategy and support?

We created the Renaissance Founder’s Package for founders like you. We’ll take over your personal social media presence, build it with intention, and grow your visibility as a thought leader. From content creation to speaking and podcast outreach—we help you step into your light as the face of your brand.

“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?

This week on The Renaissance Podcast, we’re sitting down with Stacy Scarsella, CEO, Founder, and Executive Producer of Plaid Pony Productions—a creative force in the world of advertising and commercial production. With over 20 years of global production experience, Stacy has worked in the top creative hubs of NYC, LA, Boston, Austin, and beyond, producing award-winning campaigns for some of the biggest brands in the industry.

But this isn’t just any conversation—it’s a special one. We’re recording live from downtown Nashville, the day before the 2025 Renaissance Women's Summit: Unleash Your Revival, where we set up a mobile podcast studio at the summit venue. Stacy is set to take the stage the next day as one of our esteemed speakers on the highly anticipated "We Run This Mother" panel, where she’ll dive deep into the realities of building a thriving business while managing the beautiful chaos of motherhood and personal life.

Beyond business success, Stacy’s story is one of resilience, balance, and purpose.

We also explore the deeply personal side of Stacy’s journey—how losing her best friend to suicide shaped the way she leads, lives, and builds her business. She opens up about the guilt many women feel when chasing big dreams, the creative problem-solving skills she’s mastered in production and motherhood, and why she’s passionate about helping the next generation of creative leaders rise.

Sales—it’s the lifeblood of any business, yet so many executives and entrepreneurs are winging it when it comes to selling. In this episode of The Renaissance Podcast, we sit down with Dew Tinnin, Head Coach & CEO of Skillway, to uncover game-changing sales strategies that help business leaders crush their goals and actually love selling in the process.

A specialist in relationship-based selling, Dew brings decades of experience from the finance and mortgage industry, training thousands of sales professionals as a national sales trainer for Wells Fargo before launching Skillway. She shares how executives and entrepreneurs must narrow their focus, emphasizing that you can only do one thing—and maybe two—effectively. Trying to do everything? You’re likely half-assing it all and missing out on true needle-moving activities.

Dew also reveals one of the biggest sales mistakes business owners make: blindly sending proposals via email. Instead, she shares a powerful proposal strategy—verbally walking prospects through pricing and expectations before sending anything over. By securing a verbal “yes” on pricing first, you set the stage for a smoother close and avoid unnecessary objections.

Whether you're a CEO, founder, or executive wearing multiple hats, this episode is packed with actionable sales tips tailored specifically for women in business. Don’t miss this conversation that could transform the way you approach sales forever!

This week, we sit down with Melissa Core-Caballo, the visionary CEO and co-founder of Dead Horse Branding, an award-winning PR and marketing firm based in Nashville. Melissa has never followed the traditional path—she’s a high school dropout who knew from an early age that she was meant for something bigger: entrepreneurship on her own terms.

Alongside her husband and co-founder, Rick Core, Melissa has developed a cutting-edge branding curriculum that they currently teach in schools, equipping the next generation of visionaries with the tools they need to build powerful, authentic brands. At Dead Horse Branding, they take a holistic approach to branding, ensuring that every element—strategic planning, design, photography, website development, marketing, social media, publicity, and licensing—works in harmony to create a brand that resonates.

In this episode, Melissa shares why branding should be the foundation—not just social media strategy, the importance of building an identity before marketing, and how she’s worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment, music, and business—including Cyndi Lauper, Steven Tyler’s Loving Mary Band, The Today Show, Lionsgate, and Universal Music Group.

As Melissa puts it, "The only thing you cannot afford to lose is your credibility."

Get ready for an inspiring conversation about taking the road less traveled, disrupting the norm, and creating a brand that truly lasts.

In a world craving authenticity beyond screens and small talk, Emma McCallie, Co-Founder of Folx Table, joins us on this episode of The Renaissance Podcast to share how she’s redefining what it means to truly connect. Folx Table isn’t a dating app, dinner club, or exclusive members-only space—it’s The Sit-Down Social Network, where strangers become friends over meaningful conversations at local spots around Nashville.

Emma opens up about her journey from hosting attic gatherings with “no work, no weather” rules to launching a platform that’s welcomed over 1,500+ people. We dive into why people are done with surface-level chatter, the magic of vulnerability, and how asking questions like “What’s the greatest lesson you’ve never learned?” can shift an entire room.

If you’ve ever felt the itch for deeper connection, or wondered how to build community in an increasingly disconnected world, this episode is your invitation to pull up a chair, talk to strangers, and connect to something real.

In this inspiring episode of The Renaissance Podcast, we sit down with Sherry Stewart Deutschmann, a serial entrepreneur, author, and advocate for women in business. Sherry’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary—she moved to Nashville in the 90s as a 25-year-old single mother with just $200 to her name, determined to build a better life for herself and her daughter.

Sherry opens up about her early life, growing up in a strict Jehovah’s Witness community in Beech Mountain, North Carolina, and her courageous decision to leave that life behind. Married at 18, she eventually found herself in Nashville, navigating the challenges of single motherhood, struggling to keep the lights on, and working odd jobs—including cleaning gas station toilets—to make ends meet in her new life.

But Sherry’s story doesn’t stop there. In 2002, she founded LetterLogic, Inc., a company she grew to $40 million in revenue before selling it in 2016. Sherry attributes her success to a unique business model centered on empathy and putting employees first—even ahead of customers and shareholders. This unconventional approach led to LetterLogic being named an Inc. 5000 company for ten consecutive years and earned Sherry national recognition, including being honored by President Barack Obama as a White House Champion of Change.

In her bestselling book, Lunch with Lucy: Maximize Profits by Investing in Your People, Sherry details how she cultivated a company culture where every employee had a voice. Through her practice of "Lunch with Lucy," Sherry created a judgment-free environment where she could learn from her team, leading to insights that fueled the company’s success.

Join us as Sherry shares her incredible journey, the lessons she learned along the way, and how empathy and transformational leadership can lead to both personal and professional triumph. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone looking for inspiration, this episode is a must-listen!

In this week's episode of The Renaissance Podcast, we sit down with Nashville-based influencer and author, Patrick Weaver, to discuss his recently released memoir, "Southern Fried Sass: How I Became The Most Fabulous Version Of Myself." Join us as we delve into the inspiring journey that led Patrick to transform his personal journals into a memoir that navigates through the highs and lows of life, sprinkled with humor and lighthearted moments.

Patrick opens up about the unexpected genesis of his literary work. Initially, he never planned to write a book centered on his life, but as he filled two spiral notebooks with reflections on traumatic events and cherished memories, he realized he had the makings of a compelling story. We explore the courageous path he took in recounting sensitive topics such as his adoption story, surviving sexual violence, and other challenging experiences. Patrick shares how writing served as a therapeutic outlet, helping him adequately express emotions that were difficult to discuss verbally with his therapist.

Rather than positioning his memoir as a self-help guide, Patrick views it as a challenge to readers. He elaborates on this empowering concept, urging individuals to embrace a different outlook on their own lives and experiences. According to Patrick, we are all the most fabulous version of ourselves, and the key lies in owning that truth.

A standout moment in the memoir is when Patrick recounts the surreal experience of using President George W. Bush's personal bathroom on Air Force One. He shares how this extraordinary encounter left a lasting impact on him and served as a reminder that life is filled with unexpected opportunities.

As we celebrate entrepreneurs living their best Renaissance lives, Patrick's experiences and reflections from his memoir resonate deeply with those on their own entrepreneurial journeys. He draws parallels between his challenges, triumphs, and the lessons he learned along the way, offering inspiration to fellow entrepreneurs seeking personal growth and success.

For those hesitant about exploring their traumas or emotions through writing, Patrick offers thoughtful advice based on his own therapeutic journey. He explains how working with a therapist for the past three years influenced his writing process, allowing him to confront past traumas in a healing and transformative way.

This episode resulted in one of our most emotional and impactful interviews, as Patrick shared his journey of

Jessica Baladad is a 4-year cancer survivor who became a passionate advocate after a practitioner dismissed a malignant lump in her breast during a clinical exam.

Thankfully, Jessica learned how to do a self breast exam after having a benign tumor removed while she was in college, and it was a routine she maintained throughout adulthood. Two weeks after her clinical appointment, Jessica was doing a self exam in the shower when she found a lump, the same lump her practitioner failed to tell her about and documented as “normal.”

Jessica was later diagnosed with Stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma. She underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, 24 rounds of radiation, a hysterectomy and a 10-hour flap reconstruction.

She started Feel For Your Life as a social media outreach project to encourage women to be their breast health advocates, and in 2021, Jessica became the first breast cancer survivor to create an app that provides resources for doing self breast exams and getting screened, allows users to track and monitor their changes, and lets users set reminders for doing self exams.

Since launching the app, she’s helped write legislation in the State of Tennessee to promote risk-reducing measures against cancer and disease. Billed as the Feel For Your Life Act, it requires high school students to learn about self breast exams, testicular exams and skin exams.

In 2022, Jessica created The BREAST Method, an online module created to teach other advocates her tips, tricks and secrets for negotiating medical bills, disputing insurance denials and navigating the American healthcare system.

We are excited to welcome the first #RenaissanceMan guest to The Renaissance Podcast! Tyler Alkins is an entrepreneur, winemaker, Canadian-turned-Nashvillian, and founder of Love & Exile Wines. He has had an incredible career and founded multiple successful businesses. His story is full of resilience, grit, and passion. Don't miss this week's episode!

About Tyler:

With time running out until he was deported back to Canada, Tyler Alkins had to start a new business or be forced to leave the place he called home in Nashville, TN. So he decided to do what he always dreamed; make wine.

And though Tennessee is better known for whiskey, Tyler saw an opportunity to create a wine that was approachable in its taste, price, and presentation. So he recruited some of the most well-known winemakers from Italy and California to teach him processes perfected over centuries to create a wine that’s expertly crafted and perfectly chuggable.

The wine they create together is brought back to Nashville where it is finished and bottled or canned locally in a winery that Tyler and the small team built in an abandoned car garage less than a mile from downtown called Nashville Urban Winery.

Kira Lynn and Alane Kovach are two of the three masterminds behind Wanna Spoon Cereal Bar, a cereal-lously delicious new business concept that opened this summer in Nashville's 12 South neighborhood.

Wanna Spoon serves up nostalgia by the bowl with 20+ varieties of cereal (think: Fruity Pebbles, Lucky Charms, and Froot Loops) . The family-friendly spot goes beyond the bowl with indoor and outdoor murals (murals of Marilyn Monroe and Jimi Hendrix), picnic-style seating with umbrellas, and lawn games like corn hole. (Source: Nash Today)

We sat down with the entrepreneurs to talk about the story behind creating Nashville's first cereal bar concept, and how they came together to create it.

About The Founders:
Kira Lynn originally moved to Nashville to pursue her music career. While she was actively working on chasing her dream as an artist, she also had another dream in the back of her mind. She dreamt of having a place where you could go for cereal at any time of day. Her parents advised her to write a business plan and come up with a name, which ended up being “Wanna Spoon”. Kira was introduced to a couple by the names of Alane and Steve Kovach, who had a residential house next to Emery Wood Fired - another restaurant of theirs that was soon to be open. The couple loved the idea and the rest is history. Kira Lynn and her business partners Alane and Steve Kovach are excited to grow this business and hope to open up more locations. Kira will also continue to work on her music as well, with the two new song releases called ‘Colorado’ and ‘Love you no more’. Stay tuned for all that’s to come with Nashville’s first cereal bar and this exciting new venture with Wanna Spoon Cereal Bar!

Alane and Steve Kovach have been partners in building restaurants, beginning in Nashville since 2013. The couple has opened:

Nashville Street Tacos

The Stillery Downtown

The Stillery Midtown

Big Jimmys Burgers Downtown

The Emery 12 South

During construction of The Emery, they were able to secure the residence behind it on Carothers Ave. Initially Alane wanted to dress it up and run an Airbnb to generate income. Then, they met Kira! Kira had a Cereal Bar Concept in mind, and they were excited to put that into motion! During start up conversations with all of Kira and Steve's creative ideas, Alane was busy doing Coffee Research by seeking out and sampling not only coffees around the country, but Espresso Machines around the world. After 18 months, Alane ordered a LaMarzocco Espresso machine from Italy, sourced Intellegentia Coffee from Chicago, and procured 12 Souths best Baristas to make their dream happen. They now have the best coffee in all of Nashville!

When Kathy found a large space in historic L&L Marketplace in West Nashville, Kathy knew something bigger was at play. This building she dreamed of working in, fueled a new dream—creating Nashville’s first female-owned and operated coworking space.

“At Happenstance, we're raising a new generation of whiskey lovers who celebrate life's moments that happen by chance.” - Paige ParkerPaige is the Founder & CEO of Happenstance Distilling Co. – A Nashville based whiskey company that launched its flagship Founder’s Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey in 2021. Happenstance was born out of a need for a more approachable bourbon, both in palate and design. Paige wanted to create a brand that paid homage to the tradition of American bourbons that had come before, but with a contemporary twist… so, Happenstance was born.

A 90-proof, full bodied blend of vanilla, hazelnut, toffee, caramel tones and a rye finish define the Happenstance palate.

Finance, the Nashville Business Journal, Nashville Lifestyles and has been spotted around town popping up whiskey bars for Rachel Zoe’s Curateur brand, White’s Mercantile and Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James 12 South storefront.

Paige got her start in the alcohol industry with Anheuser-Busch where she learned the fundamentals of the alcohol business while working with corporate partners and in-house brands on plans for localized distribution, marketing, sales and events. Paige is also a recent MBA graduate from Vanderbilt’s Owen School of Business.

In this week’s episode, Sydney and Walker sat down with Paige to talk about how the young entrepreneur innovated her own whiskey brand completely from scratch. We discuss her past career working in marketing for Anheuser-Busch, which led to her becoming aware of an opportunity in the spirits space.

Other topics we discuss:

• How to make your brand/product stand out in a saturated industry

• Innovating a new brand/product in a mostly male-dominated industry

• The story of Happenstance

• Pivoting from a career in corporate to taking the leap into entrepreneurship

Becca is committed to making lasting changes to the culture of drinking, by creating a safe and emotionally rewarding experience through her non alcoholic spirits and promoting realness with her authentic brand message. Having a previous career in strategy consulting, Becca found herself frequently working while traveling and dining with clients, which led to an alcohol-heavy lifestyle. Struggling with burnout after a decade in the field, Becca took a sabbatical in London where she was romanticized by the accessibility of non alcoholic beverages. Always one to stand up for a cause, she left wanting to make this type of lifestyle choice easily attainable for those in the States, where drinks are often encouraged in both work and social spaces. Becca was inspired to create a brand that reignites the social aspect of drinking without the pressures or induced courage of alcohol. Recognizing that many nondrinkers avoid events simply because of the questioning they’ll receive, Becca has created a space where what people drink is not the focus and is, in fact, rather inconsequential.

In the episode, we discuss:

• Becca's past and her journey to sobriety

• The pivotal moment that inspired her to leave her successful career as a Strategy Consultant and pivot to entrepreneurship and launch nonalcoholic spirits brand, NKD LDY

• Innovating in a new industry and going up against the male-dominated alcohol industry

• Dealing with Imposter Syndrome

• The Sober Curious movement

This week we are excited to have Nikki Burdine on The Renaissance Podcast. If you live in Nashville, odds are you have seen her on WKRN News 2 ‘Good Morning Nashville’. Nikki is an Emmy-award winning television journalist, a mom to micro-preemie, Andi, an animal advocate, author, and sleep-deprived Nashville news anchor.
