If Kumite Lifestyle resonates with you and you want a deeper relationship with the brand than just listening — this is where you live. There are four distinct paths, each designed for a different kind of person at a different stage. Pick the one that fits where you are right now.
Ambassador Program is a small, hand-picked quarterly cohort of 5 to 10 people who represent the brand at the deepest level. Advertise is for brands and companies who want to reach our audience through episode integrations or site placements. Join the Team is for those who want to work alongside us — whether that's production, design, writing, ops, or something we haven't even named yet.
Start with Find Your Fit if you're not sure which one is right for you — it lays out the paths side by side with benefits, requirements, and time commitments so you can compare. Or jump straight to the program below that already speaks to you.
No. We look for fit and authenticity, not follower count. Some of our best ambassadors have small but engaged communities. What matters is your alignment with the brand and your willingness to show up.
When does the Ambassador cohort open for applications?+
Quarterly. The next cohort opens in Fall 2026. Applications are reviewed personally and the cohort caps at 10 to keep it tight. Get on the early-notification list inside the Ambassador Program page.
How does Join the Team work?+
We post open roles when we have them. Even if a role isn't listed, send us your story and what you'd bring to the table — we keep applications on file and reach out when something fits.
What does Advertise mean exactly?+
Two main options: host-read episode sponsorships (we talk about your brand in our voice during the show) and dedicated site placements. The Advertise page lays out audience demographics, formats, and pricing. Reach out directly for custom packages.
