Our Team

Omani Carson is a visionary entrepreneur, global impact leader, and Founder & Chairman of Carson Group—one of the fastest-growing financial services firms in North America. What began in his dorm room in 1983 has grown into a national enterprise serving 60,000 families, earning Omani induction into the inaugural Barron's Hall of Fame and recognition as a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning founder, and trusted voice in purpose-driven leadership. His early experience watching his parents' farm collapse in the 1980s shaped his lifelong mission: to help people build not only financial stability, but a life grounded in clarity, purpose, and legacy. Alongside his wife Jeanie, Omani leads Momentis, their family office dedicated to values-aligned investing, and founded Omya — a global ecosystem for conscious leaders committed to healing humanity and with a mission to mobilize $1 Trillion in conscious capital over the next 20 years. Together, they have advanced transformative initiatives in mental health, hunger, clean water, and end-of-life dignity, reinforcing Omani's mission "to do the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people." His work across philanthropy, personal development, and conscious capitalism has positioned him as a catalyst for individuals and organizations seeking to live abundantly and lead with intention. Omani's partnership with FC Mother is rooted in deep friendship, shared purpose, and a belief that humanity's greatest transformations happen when community, capital, and mission align. FC Mother was co-founded and incubated at the Omya Ranch in Omaha in 2022, where Omani and founder Morad Fareed combined conscious capital, maternal health science, and the power of football into a global movement. Through their joint venture, Omya and FC Mother have a landmark goal of channeling $1 billion into maternal health by 2030 — advancing a generational legacy of healing for mothers and families worldwide.

Susan Dorrell Flores is a former professional footballer and the proud mother of three footballers—Silvana, Marcelo, and Tatiana Flores—who have each carried forward her legacy of excellence, discipline, and love for the game. Born and raised in Canada to British parents, Susan forged her own path through football at a time when opportunities for women in the sport were limited. Her career as a midfielder was built on grit, intelligence, and leadership—qualities she would later instill in her children as they rose through elite academies and national teams. Beyond her achievements on the pitch, Susan's greatest influence has been as a mother and mentor. With decades of experience navigating the world of youth and professional football, she has guided her children through international tournaments, club transitions, cultural shifts, and the unique pressures of high-performance sport. Her home became both a training ground and a sanctuary—a place where football dreams were shaped through love, resilience, and unwavering belief. Her children often credit her with the grounding values, mental strength, and work ethic that have propelled their careers. Today, Susan brings that same passion and leadership to Fandom Health as a member of the Mothers' Council of Monterrey. In this role, she helps elevate the voices, needs, and experiences of mothers in football — championing FC Mother's mission to transform fandom into a global support network for mothers. With her lived expertise as a player, parent, and advocate, Susan is helping shape a new era where mothers are not only honored, but empowered at the center of the global game.
