A Missouri girl in a New York world is slaying dragons. Susan L. Combs, author and founder of “Pancakes for Roger” is on a mission. This week a conversation with Susan and ‘Pancakes for Roger: A Mentorship Guide for Slaying Dragons’. With a drive to ‘Do more, better’ we discuss the three facets of life that her late father taught her: 1. The person you’re with 2. The thing you do for a living and 3. The place you live. And the lessons she learned from her Midwestern upbringing to the two-plus decades in New York City. Susan reminds us that it’s the little things in life that can make a huge impact.
“Pancakes for Roger” is a non-profit organization fundraising effort for the Veterans Clinic at the University of Missouri to further their mission helping vets and their families navigate the VA claims and appeal process. Susan is also the President of Combs & Co., a full -service insurance brokerage firm. She was named the youngest National President in the over eight-five-year history of Women in Insurance & Financial Services and the first female Broker of the Year winner for BenefitsPro.
