Every iconic brand has an origin story… and this one might surprise you.

On this week’s episode of The Renaissance Podcast, Sydney sits down with Mattie Bush, founder of Amelia’s Flowers, one of the most beloved and recognizable flower shops in Middle Tennessee, to share the story of how Amelia’s came to life and what it really took to build it.

What started as a simple idea has grown into a joy-filled brand rooted in heart, grit, and courage. In this conversation, Mattie opens up about the early days of entrepreneurship, the meaning behind the name Amelia’s, and the leap it took to go all in on a vision before there were guarantees.

Together, Sydney and Mattie talk about building a business that spreads joy, navigating fear and uncertainty, staying resilient through seasons of growth, and evolving from a flower truck into brick-and-mortar locations. Mattie also shares honest insight into leadership, the behind-the-scenes tools and habits that keep the business running, and what it’s been like stepping into motherhood while continuing to lead a thriving brand.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves Amelia’s Flowers, is building a product-based business, or is dreaming about turning an idea into something lasting.
