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.

The Host

Johan de Villiers is the CEO of First Technology Western Cape, a turnkey IT solutions provider, and the author of Overlanding Through The Boardroom (2024).

His own record spans a six-month unsupported crossing of Africa, three of the Seven Summits, expeditions through Cambodia, Myanmar, Patagonia and Iceland, Dakar Rally crew experience and two decades of off-road racing. The guests aren’t talking to an interviewer. They’re talking to one of their own, an experienced Overlander, Mountaineer, Off-road racer and Helicopter Pilot – and the audience hears the difference.

Partnership Packages

We work with a small number of partners whose products we would genuinely strap to the roof rack.

Every partnership is category-exclusivity. When your category is taken, it's taken.

Rates are reviewed each season and reset as the audience grows. Current partners renew at preferential terms.
The best rate this show will ever offer is the one on this page.

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.

What partners Can Expect

  • A named point of contact and response within 24 business hours
  • A monthly performance summary: reach, engagement and clip performance for your placements
  • Verified audience data on request — we sell delivered reach, not projections
