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!

Building Something Rad: How Amanda Frederickson Built a Foodie Empire with Radish Kitchen

With nearly 105,000 Instagram followers, Amanda has turned her love for fresh, healthy cooking into a thriving business that’s attracting foodies from near and far.
Amanda’s culinary journey began in her Florida kitchen, where she taught herself to cook by watching The Food Network. After graduating from Boston University and moving to San Francisco, Amanda’s passion for food continued to grow, ultimately leading her to the San Francisco Cooking School and a dream job in the Williams-Sonoma test kitchen.
It was in San Francisco where Amanda met her husband, Luke Smiley, who now serves as the CEO of Radish Kitchen. Together, they have navigated the challenges of starting a family, launching a business, and moving to new cities—all while staying committed to their shared vision of providing simple, quality food that people can enjoy on the go.
In this episode, Amanda shares the story of how Radish came to be, the inspiration behind their popular menu items, and the unique challenges of opening a restaurant during a global pandemic. She also offers a behind-the-scenes look at how she and Luke balance their professional and personal lives with two children, how Amanda build the beautiful Radish brand, and the exciting plans they have for expanding and scaling Radish in the future.
