The Endeavor

“Ambition leads me not only farther than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it possible for man to go.”

Captain James Cook of the HMS Endeavor

Why This Endeavor?

The Endeavor was forged in my strenuous and ongoing journey of trying to become someone while not fully knowing who that is yet. It’s my personal odyssey. In the words of the late great DMX, “My ups and downs (uh), my slips, my falls (uh), my trials and tribulations (uh), my heart, my balls.” DMX truly has a point. All these topics are covered but there’s more to it. The Endeavor is a personal account of how I, Brody Sinutko, am learning to navigate, conquer, and overcome the many obstacles I would have to face when I accepted my call to adventure and took the path of the strenuous life, knowing my wings are doomed to melt.

The Endeavor story is filled with moments of triumph and tragedy. It’s not a highlight reel or a soapbox, at least not one from a place of self proclaimed wisdom or authority. It’s a record of being the man in the arena while it’s still happening, failing, adjusting, pushing despite all odds. My conviction is foolproof and the compass always guides north. Some days that look like progress. Some days it just looks like endurance. Though it’s all part of The Endeavor.
