For many college athletes, the end of their final season brings one big question: What’s next? After years of competing on the baseball field, Colton Joyner had to answer that same question. Instead of leaving his competitive drive behind, he found a way to channel it into building a career of his own.

In any business, and especially in commission-based industries, there’s often a quiet difference between people who try something and people who truly commit to it. At first glance, the two can look very similar

Chuck came to this business from a background in personal training. Like many people, he didn’t start with industry experience, just work ethic and a willingness to learn. In the video below, he shares what it looked like to transition into Equis and build something meaningful. He also shares how building a team created financial stability during one of the most difficult seasons of his life. At Equis, this isn’t just about selling insurance. It’s about building something tha

Talent can give someone a head start, but it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. We’ve all seen it: someone comes in strong, has early wins, and then slowly fades when things get challenging. Consistency, on the other hand, creates momentum, even when motivation dips. The agents who win long-term aren’t relying on how they feel on a given day. They rely on habits.

2026 is here. A clean slate. A fresh opportunity. But if this year is going to be different, it won’t be by accident—it’ll be because you decided to be intentional. Let’s start with the big goal. For 2026, that goal is your income. Know the number. Be specific. Then break it down into 90-day sprints. When you do that, the year stops feeling overwhelming and starts feeling doable. Shorter sprints give you focus, urgency, and clarity on what needs to happen now —not “someday.”

For Scott and Kimberly Rumbo, their Equis journey began with a simple Facebook post that changed everything. In January 2016, they saw that Barry Clarkson had joined Equis Financial. Having worked with Barry before, they commented to wish him luck—never imagining that just days later, Barry would reach out personally and ask to set up a call. “Barry’s track record of success gave us all the confidence in the world to join him again,” Scott shared. “He told us this would be ou

Before joining Equis Financial, Nick and Cindi Theodore were no strangers to hard work. They had been in the insurance industry for years but found themselves limited by the lack of technology, leads, and carrier options at their previous company. Despite their experience, they felt stuck—without the tools or infrastructure needed to truly grow. So when Equis Financial launched, they recognized something different right away. It was a company built to empower agents, not rest
