    About Susan L. Combs

    Combs is President of Combs & Company, a full-service insurance brokerage firm based in New York City. Susan started the company at twenty-six years old with a drive to “Do more, better.” This internal mantra has resulted in numerous successes and firsts, like being named the youngest National President in the over eighty-five-year history of Women in Insurance & Financial Services (WIFS) and the first female Broker of the Year winner for BenefitsPro.

    Susan is “a Missouri girl in a New York world,” and it’s the lessons she learned during her Midwestern upbringing and two-plus decades in New York City that are the basis of this book. The insights contained in these pages come from family, friends, colleagues, and life in general. But the most important teachings are from her late father. It was his steady guidance in life that set Susan’s foundation and it was his passing that inspired her new movement, Pancakes for Roger (www.PancakesForRoger.com).

    When Susan’s not running her business or trying to help others through their own challenges, you can find her flipping tires at her beloved CrossFit gym, supporting the Missouri Tigers, KC Chiefs, and Royals, or slaying the dragons that have come her way.

  • You want to be the best dad you can be, but sometimes life throws curveballs that make it hard to balance career, family, and self-care.

    In this episode Ed sits sat down with Kevin Baker, a teen life coach and a devoted father, for an eye-opening conversation about fatherhood, career transitions, and the importance of self-care.

    Here are the top three takeaways from their discussion:

    1. Manage your energy and care for your needs: It's important to remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish. In fact, it helps you to be there for others, especially your family. Moreover, self-care is essential for fathers to prioritize their physical and mental well-being in order to be the best version of themselves for their families.

    2. Quality time over quantity: The conversation emphasizes the importance of quality time spent with children. It's not just about the quantity of time but about being genuinely present and engaged with your kids. Fatherhood comes first, and finding the right balance between career and family is essential.

    3. Prioritize tangible targets: Kevin Baker stresses the need for setting tangible targets, both in parenting and in self-care. By defining what success looks like for your child's academic performance and behavior, you can guide your intervention strategy effectively.

    This insightful episode will provide valuable understanding and practical tips for parenting teenagers and caring for yourself as a dad.

    We appreciate you joining us and hope this episode brings significant value to your life and parenting journey. We'd love to hear your feedback and encourage you to review, like, and share this episode if it resonated with you.

    And remember, as Kevin Baker reminds us, "Taking care of yourself is not selfish – it's essential. Prioritize your well-being to be the best version of yourself for your family."

  • Dealing with the emotional impact of tragedy and loss while being a father is often a lonely experience. Wanting to support grieving mother's, dads often neglect themselves in service of their family.

    But learning how to navigate grief while also caring for themselves is vitally important. It's also rare for dads to find support for their grief.

    In this episode of The Dad Central Show we talk with Bryan Saint-Louis who shares powerful insights from the aftermath of losing his duaghter shortly after birth. Despite this tragedy, and committed to defying the odds that say 70% of marriages fail after losing a child, he shares the journey he's taken to heal and restore his fatherhood and marriage.

    Top Takeaways:

    - Embracing Vulnerability: By sharing his emotional journey following the loss of his daughter, Bryan Saint-Louis emphasizes the importance of embracing vulnerability and seeking support during challenging times.

    - Importance of Presence: Being present in children's lives, actively listening, and building strong connections from a young age helps dads lay the foundation for a meaningful relationship.

    - Self-Care for Fathers: The episode stresses the essential role of self-care for fathers, highlighting its positive impact on their well-being and their ability to support and nurture their children effectively.

    This episode provides valuable insight into navigating grief, fostering meaningful connections with your children, and prioritizing self-care. By implementing these takeaways, listeners can create a positive and supportive environment for themselves and their children, and potentially help others in similar situations by offering support and empathy.

    We are deeply appreciative of our listeners for joining us on this insightful conversation. If you found this episode valuable, please consider leaving a review, liking, and sharing it with fellow dads who could benefit from these discussions.

    As Bryan Saint-Louis aptly puts it, "Being present is the greatest present you can give to your children." We encourage you to take a moment to reflect on how you can actively apply this wisdom in your parenting journey, and take deliberate steps to foster connections, prioritize self-care, and support others in the fatherhood community.

  • In this episode of The Dad Central Show, we’re exploring a common struggle for many dads: how to pass on financial knowledge to our kids in a way that truly sets them up for success.

    We talk with Scott Donnell, who brings his expertise in helping kids and families with financial literacy and their family legacy. Together, we outline the mindset shift needed to redefine success and discuss practical strategies for teaching kids about money and value creation.

    Here are the top three takeaways from this episode:

    1. Shifting the Mindset: Scott shares his insights on the importance of moving away from the traditional definition of success and focusing on creating value and results. This shift can have a profound impact on our approach to work, family, and personal fulfillment.

    2. Teaching Kids Financial Skills: The discussion highlights the importance of teaching kids about money and value creation, emphasizing the need to raise children who can create emotional, spiritual, and material value in the world. The goal is to equip them with more than just financial knowledge and wealth accumulation strategies.

    3. Legacy Over Inheritance: Scott advocates for leaving a heritage to children rather than just inheritance, emphasizing the value of spending time with them and imparting important life skills. This approach is rooted in the idea of creating lasting family legacies for future generations.

    By listening to this episode, you’ll gain valuable insights on how to shift your mindset towards success, effectively teach your kids about money and value creation, and leave a meaningful legacy for your children.

    We appreciate all our listeners and hope that you found value in this episode. If you did, please take a moment to review, like, and share it with other dads who are on the same parenting journey.

    As Scott Donnell wisely said, "Success isn’t just about money. It's about creating value and results." So, let's commit to applying these insights to our parenting and personal lives, and in doing so, set our children up for a future full of purpose and prosperity.
