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.

This season, I will continue speaking with many more interesting Renaissance Men, and Women, who can help us identify, understand and assimilate the key ingredients essential to constructing a life well lived.

Who's On:

This episode, Jim speaks with the with the provocative, outspoken and politically unconventional street artist known as "Sabo" during FreedomFest 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sabo is a true rebel. He's a political activist who uses art to make poignant and often uncomfortable points about political figures on the left. He also pokes fun at cultural figures who he sees as worthy of his satirical ire.

What's Discussed:

In this discussion, you'll learn about Sabo's counter-protestor adventures at antifa rallies, as well as his love for work, and his dismissal of vacations.

You'll also find out how he views creating art as similar to a pianist playing music.

Plus, find out why Jim and Sabo agree that when it comes to life, you can't be wishy washy in your views. And the more real you are, the more respect you earn.

And much more...

And now, here's Jim's conversation with the inimitable, Sabo…

"I am afraid that the experiments you quote, Mr. Pasteur, will turn against you. The world into which you wish to take us is really too fantastic."

–La Presse, 1860

#WednesdayWisdom. Check it out! The great scientist Louis Pasteur was often vilified in public for his challenging theories, but rather than give up and succumb to ignorant opinions, Pasteur was determined to defend what he thought was true. Through irrefutable and meticulous experimentation, Pasteur was able to prove his theories on the microbial cause of disease. In my opinion, this is the kind of courage, persistence and intellectual honesty the world needs to solve all sorts of problems, not the least of which are economic. —Jim Woods August 28th 2019

Watching the majesty blow past Speculating which will be the last Savoring my piece of pie And there is no reprise They're filling the sky Southbound Pachyderm

–Primus, "Southbound Pachyderm"

These days, it seems like men who embrace the virtue of making money are rare. In fact, you could call them southbound pachyderm, like the ones so aptly described in this cautionary tale of vanishing species by the uniquely weird, yet eminently talented rock trio, Primus. If you want to know who really moves the world, look no further than the great capitalists, scientists, inventors and industrialists. They may be endangered species these days, but if we fight to protect them, we'll all be saved.

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.

Who's On:

This episode, Jim speaks with philosopher Stephen Hicks during FreedomFest 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Dr. Hicks is a professor of Philosophy at Rockford University, and the Executive Director of the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship. He's also a Senior Scholar at The Atlas Society.

Over the past year, Dr. Hicks has become a prominent public intellectual, appearing on many podcasts and television shows. His work on the subject of postmodernism and its application to today's cultural climate is just one of the many subjects that has vaulted him into the limelight.

What's Discussed:

In this discussion, you'll discover the importance of understanding postmodernism, as well as other pathological cultural movements. You'll also learn why both Jim and Dr. Hicks agree that the only solution to bad ideas are good ideas.

The stakes are high, and the fight for a culture that respects individuals, freedom and rationality is a deadly serious enterprise.

Yet listening to this conversation, you get the sense that these are two benevolent, life-loving warriors on a mission to promote reason.
