Welcome to Insurance Buttoned Up, the podcast that explores the intersection of insurance and making a positive impact in our communities. In today's episode, Daniel discusses with our guest, Susan Shaw, owner of Shaw Insurance Agency and COO of Goals For Bowls. Susan is a successful insurance agency owner and a champion of giving back, both locally and internationally.

During their conversation, Daniel and Susan delve into the power of personal connections to make a lasting impact on those in need. Susan shares heartwarming stories from her own experiences, including introducing a baby to a girl scout troop that had collected baby food for a food pantry and her involvement with a Goals For Bowls Foundation, which works to provide clean water systems, share the gospel, provide soccer balls, and feed underprivileged children in different countries.

The discussion also touches on the importance of relatability and tailoring assistance for children their own age. Susan reveals how she involved her own children in sponsorship programs, such as providing soccer cleats for less privileged children, and encourages listeners to find creative ways to make a difference in their communities.

Quotable Quotes:

"Realize that one person can make a difference. That's the main thing because people think that it has to be something really big to make an impact, and it doesn't. So realize that you one person can make a difference, and it doesn't have to be big. It's just being something bigger than than you are."

— Susan Shaw

"Making an Impact: Instead of thinking, what's my one donation gonna do to this city? I really need to think about what my donation, how is it gonna impact that one child's life?"

— Daniel Seong
