We are re-designing The Renaisseur™ business to  become an employee-owned healthy choices company using  innovative and creative capabilities to provide unique products and develop awareness of healthy choices. Originally, the Renaisseur™ was based on the concept of a polymath as described below.

Renaisseur™ : A modern day polymath or renaissance person who is in pursuit of developing their abilities in all  areas of knowledge as well as in physical development, social accomplishments, language, and the arts.

A polymath (Greek: πολυμαθής, polymathēs, "having  learned much"), is a  person whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas;
such a person is known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific  problems. 

The term is often applied to great thinkers of the Renaissance and Golden Age of Islam, who excelled at multiple fields of the arts and science, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, Francis Bacon and Michael Servetus. These  thinkers embodied a notion that emerged in Renaissance Italy and that was expressed by one  of its most accomplished representatives, Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472), that "a man  can do all things if he will."The  concept embodied a basic tenet of Renaissance humanism, that humans are empowered  and limitless in their capacity for development, and it led to the notion that  people should embrace all knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as  possible.

The term applies to the gifted people of the Renaissance who sought to  develop their abilities in all areas of knowledge as well as in physical  development, social accomplishments, and the arts, in contrast to the vast  majority of people of that age who were not well educated. This term entered the  lexicon during the twentieth century and has been applied to great thinkers  living before and after the Renaissance. Terms such as polyhistor and  universal genius are sometimes employed as synonyms to polymath.
