I continue to ask myself why it took me three years to stumble upon Endeavor in Louisville. While my initial introduction to the organization was one of randomness, I quickly learned that anyone with an entrepreneurial bone who crosses Endeavor's path is extremely fortunate. I, too, was fortunate that this encounter turned into the opportunity to join the local board, even against a general philosophy that most organizations of this nature aren't worth the time. Endeavor put that philosophy to rest and continues to surpass expectations. Simply put, Endeavor's incredible track record of successful ventures is unmatched. Its formula is unique. This being said, Endeavor needs to share its successes and what it really means to be part of the organization as an Endeavor Entrepreneur, an Endeavor Mentor, and an Endeavor Associate. My opinion is that now is the perfect time to amplify Endeavor's voice. Embarking on a regional approach from our Louisville outpost will help to organically amplify this voice across Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and beyond. This, paired with a continued increase in regional, national, and international awareness, will lead to an even greater impact. I am honored to take part in Endeavor's thoughtful, unconditional approach towards becoming the standard bearer for empowering all entrepreneurs among us, who collectively make our communities — and our world — a better place. - Brook T.
