The Show
JDV On Air pairs a sitting CEO with the world's most credible adventurers, explorers and operators and asks the questions only a peer can ask. Each long-form episode connects the thrill of expedition life with real-world leadership: risk under pressure, team selection, resilience, and decisions made where the consequences are real. Launched September 2025. Published fortnightly. Video and audio, on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
The audience
An audience advertisers struggle to reach anywhere else: senior professionals, business owners and adventure-minded executives. They are the people who buy the vehicle, the kit, the policy and the portfolio, not just the T-shirt.

Who This Works for
Overland and expedition equipment. Automotive. Premium outdoor apparel. Private banking and wealth management. Business insurance and aviation. If your customer is the person who plans the trip, signs the cheque and leads the team, they're already listening.
Who This Doesn't
We decline more partnerships than we accept. If the host wouldn't use it in the field
or recommend it to a peer, no rate makes it fit. This selectivity is precisely why the
audience trusts the recommendations that do make it to air.
