In this solo episode of The Renaissance Podcast, I’m sharing 5 powerful (and very real) ways to stop being your own biggest obstacle in 2026—in your business, visibility, and leadership.

If you’re done waiting, overthinking, people-pleasing, or carrying everything alone, this episode is your permission slip to move differently this year.

Here’s what we cover:

1. Stop Waiting for Perfect
Progress beats perfection. Done and posted beats ideas stuck in drafts. 2026 is about momentum.

2. Delegate & Trust
Growth happens when you stop being the bottleneck. I share exactly what I outsource to my assistant—from meeting scheduling and sales tracking to calendar protection, appointments, and light Canva support. You don’t need a full-time hire to get support, but you do get out of it what you put into it.

3. Detach from Comparison
If content consumption is making you feel behind, it’s time to pause. Your lane. Your timing. Your story. Less scrolling, more creating.

4. Embrace Failure as Data
Every failure is feedback. I talk about auditing what didn’t work in 2025, doing postmortems, and using slow seasons to be proactive instead of reactive. Failure isn’t a stop sign—it’s a compass.

5. Prioritize CEO Energy
Protect your time and energy. Say no more often. Be less available. Clarity fuels growth more than busyness ever will.

If 2026 is your year to own your role, your time, and your vision, this episode is for you.

Episode Partner: NexusPoint
NexusPoint helps founders step out of operator mode through smarter systems and trusted global support—so you can delegate with confidence and protect your CEO energy. I personally work with NexusPoint and it’s been key in reclaiming my time.

This week on The Renaissance Podcast, Sydney sits down with Allegra Cohen — TEDx speaker, actor, producer, author, and founder of Brave Life™ — for a conversation about joy, bravery, and living fully as an ambitious woman.

Allegra believes life works like an algorithm: what we focus on expands. In this episode, we explore how women can intentionally reprogram that algorithm to invite more joy, courage, and possibility — even while building businesses, leading teams, and raising families.

This conversation is for women in the middle of their own Renaissance.

Together, we discuss:

• Finding micro joys hiding in plain sight
• Why joy doesn’t require more time, just more awareness
• The Fear Leader vs. the Cheerleader and how to turn fear down
• Why your energy introduces you before you speak
• How joy is relational, not just personal
• Allegra’s book, Your Playbook for Living a Brave Life™
• One simple RICHual™ to bring more joy into everyday life

At its core, this episode is a reminder that joy isn’t frivolous, bravery isn’t loud, and reinvention starts with remembering who you are.

This week on The Renaissance Podcast, Sydney sits down with Courtney Spritzer — entrepreneur, author, angel investor, and co-founder of Socialfly and Entreprenista — for a conversation about building businesses with intention, heart, and long-term vision.

Courtney co-founded Socialfly in 2012, leaving a corporate career to build what would become an award-winning, social-first marketing agency working with Fortune 500, middle-market, and emerging brands. Over the next decade, she scaled Socialfly alongside her longtime business partner, Stephanie Cartin, ultimately leading the company through a successful acquisition in 2024.

But Courtney’s impact didn’t stop there.

What began as a podcast to support women founders evolved into Entreprenista Media, a powerful platform and community dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs grow businesses, build meaningful connections, and feel less alone along the way. Today, Entreprenista supports thousands of founders through content, community, education, events, and visibility opportunities.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Navigating a long-term business partnership
• Building a company with the end in mind
• What it really means to build a business as an asset
• How to scale, delegate, and create a company that can run without you
• Differentiating in a saturated industry through human connection
• Turning community into a powerful growth engine
• Why entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be lonely

Courtney shares candid insights from her journey — the risks, the growth, the exits, and the lessons learned from building not just companies, but ecosystems of support.
