Get on the show.
Or sponsor it.
The podcast is the heart of Kumite Lifestyle — every episode is a real conversation with someone living the lifestyle, on or off the mat. We're always looking for our next great guest, and for brands ready to grow alongside this community.
Whether you have a story to share or a business to amplify, this is the most direct way to connect with the Kumite Lifestyle audience. Pick the path below that fits you.
We sit down with fighters, coaches, athletes, parents, entrepreneurs, students, and everyday people doing real work in the world. You don't need a title or a following to be a guest. You need a story worth telling and the willingness to share it honestly.
Every conversation is warm, unscripted, and built around who you are — not a checklist of questions. We do the homework so you can show up and just talk.
There are two paths to the mic. Here's how guests join Kumite Lifestyle.
The host personally reaches out to people whose stories, work, or perspective fit the show. No application needed.
Submit the guest application below. Open to anyone with a story worth telling — fighters, coaches, athletes, parents, entrepreneurs, students, and beyond.
A note on online applications.To keep the show authentic and the audience trusting, every online application includes a brief verification step. Approved online applicants are then invited to confirm their booking with a $50 guest fee — which covers one hour of recording with the host plus post-production on your episode. Payment is only requested after your application is reviewed and approved, never up front. Guests who join through a host invitation are not subject to this fee.
No script. No gotchas. We talk about your journey, your perspective, and what matters most to you. 60–90 minutes, relaxed.
Join us in studio or record from anywhere via Zoom. We provide the gear in person; we'll guide your setup remotely.
Professionally edited audio and video. You get the published episode to share, plus social-ready clips after release.
Your episode goes live on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and every major platform.
Five simple steps from your application to your episode going live.
Kumite Lifestyle reaches an audience of athletes, coaches, parents, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who care about discipline, growth, and the mindset of doing hard things well. They're loyal, engaged, and ready to support brands that match the mission.
If your business serves athletes, fitness-minded people, families, or anyone chasing growth — sponsoring the show puts your brand directly in front of the people most likely to engage. No banner ads, no flat reads. Just authentic, host-delivered integrations woven into the conversation.
Sponsorship helps us keep producing, growing, and improving — but it never directs the work. Every guest, every topic, and every conversation is chosen by the host and the team. Partners support the mission; they never shape it. The Kumite Lifestyle podcast is built on authenticity, and the voice and direction of the show remain entirely in the hands of the host. Always.
Your message read by the host in our voice — never canned, never disconnected from the conversation.
Your sponsorship plays on every distribution platform — YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Amazon, iHeart, and more.
Your brand featured in show notes, episode promos, and social posts across our Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more.
We don't take just any sponsor. Every partnership is brand-aligned, vetted, and treated like a long-term relationship.
Three clear tiers built for any brand and any budget. Single-episode rates listed below — multi-episode commitments save up to 25%, and quarterly packages save the most.
Looking for something custom? Long-term partnerships, multi-quarter campaigns, exclusivity within your category, branded content series — we tailor packages to fit your goals. Reach out below and we'll build a proposal together. Rates effective for the 2026 season; subject to update as the audience grows.
We'll respond personally within 2 business days with a tailored proposal.
Whether you're sharing a story or growing a brand, the podcast is built to make both feel real, professional, and worth your time. We're glad you're considering it.
