In 2016, Bill Martin and Rob Jones—two of the founding members of Equis Financial—set out to build more than just a company. As key leaders in agency and sales development, they dreamed of creating a place where agents felt seen, heard, and supported. They called it “The Agent's Company.” But they also wanted to keep things real, sharing the unfiltered ups and downs of building a career from the ground up. So, they launched Bill & Rob’s Excellent Adventure Hour, a podcast that would bring humor, honesty, and valuable insights straight from their lives as producers to agents everywhere.
This wasn’t just any podcast. Bill and Rob used The Excellent Adventure Hour as a way to bring agents along on their journey. Whether they were recording episodes between flights or taking calls on the road, they kept it relatable, blending fun banter with firsthand lessons on making sales, building connections, and sticking with it—even when things got tough.
As Bill and Rob traveled across the U.S., meeting agents and sharing the Equis Opportunity, their podcast grew into a community staple, resonating with agents who appreciated its down-to-earth perspective. True to its tagline, it was “the only adventure hour that lasts 25-30 minutes,” offering just the right dose of motivation and humor to energize agents for the week.
Now, nearly a decade later, we’re thrilled to bring back Bill & Rob’s Excellent Adventure Hour with a new twist. We’re releasing special Throwback Thursday episodes, taking agents on a journey back to where it all started. These episodes highlight key moments from those early days and the incredible growth agents have experienced since 2015. It’s a chance to revisit the values, laughs, and lessons that have defined the Equis journey and inspired so many agents along the way. So tune in, and let’s celebrate how far we’ve come on this “excellent adventure” together.
