There are many different paths to becoming a Renaissance Man.

The only criteria is to be someone who wants to learn, who wants to be well-rounded and wants to have fun in life.

Precious metals dealer Richard Checkan drops by to share with Jim the virtue of Renaissance Man training and his circuitous route to becoming a precious metals dealer on today's episode.

Welcome to the Way the Renaissance Man podcast. This is a show about ideas, personal empowerment, and celebrating the rational life. Our goal is to help each other discover the tools needed to better focus our minds, integrate our thoughts with actions, and live the lives we really want with your host Jim Woods.
