In the world of education, a new curriculum named The Preparation is making waves. Co-authored by Matt Smith and his son Maxim, this 4-year, 16-course program aims to shape young men into Renaissance Men, equipped with real-world skills to face whatever life throws at them.
The podcast episode titled "Live Life in Crescendo" (#849) delves into the idea behind The Preparation, discussing what's missing in the current education model for young men. Another episode, "The Power of Wonder" (#271), sheds light on the inspiration behind this unique educational path.

The program is designed to produce skilled, self-reliant, and character-grounded individuals. It includes hands-on cycles such as earning EMT certification, building a house, and training as a fighter in Thailand. The participants commit to this educational path, with specific individual names or further participant details not provided in the available sources.
Interestingly, Maxim is currently working his way through the program.
