OUR CORE MANIFESTO
Stories Change People.
People Change Communities.
“We don't need louder noise. We need deeper truth.”
Every human reaches a defining threshold — a quiet moment of crisis, revelation, or courage where life diverges forever. In a world saturated with algorithm-driven soundbites and manufactured outrage, the authentic human experience is often reduced to fleeting spectacle.
One Eleven was built to stand as an uncompromising sanctuary for depth. We sit down with founders, creators, thinkers, and survivors to unpack the raw, unedited turning points that forge resilience. When one person hears their unspoken struggle voiced in another's story, isolation shatters. Perspective shifts. Empathy expands.
This platform exists entirely through independent conviction. By backing the mission, you are preserving intimate, life-changing dialogue that empowers individuals to reshape the world around them.
100% independent storytelling · Zero outside corporate influence

FROM THE HOST
A Note From Don
When I set out to create One Eleven, I had one clear conviction: meaningful long-form dialogue deserves an intimate space free from algorithmic noise and generic commercial interruptions. Great conversations take patience, curiosity, and a listener base that truly cares about depth.
The Founding 111 isn't just a funding initiative: it is a tight-knit circle of early believers whose values echo our commitment to storytelling. By partnering with us today, you help safeguard independent audio journalism and secure a lasting place in our show's legacy.

Your Questions,
Answered
We believe intentional partnerships require total clarity. From flexible tier upgrades to effortless cancellations, your commitment remains entirely in your hands.
What does my sponsorship directly fund?
100% of your contribution fuels independent production: professional audio engineering, extensive investigative prep, travel for in-person storytelling, and zero commercial interruptions across all platforms.
Can individuals join, or is this only for businesses?
Individuals, listeners, and creators are warmly welcomed. The Founding 111 is a collective of visionary humans backing authentic conversation, whether sponsoring personally or under an organization name.
How simple is the cancellation process?
Seamless and immediate. You can pause, adjust, or cancel your recurring contribution with a single click inside your sponsor dashboard anytime - no phone calls, no lock-in contracts, and no questions asked.
Can I upgrade or adjust my tier later?
Yes. If your backing evolves, you can easily shift between tiers. Any past contributions during your billing cycle are prorated and applied directly toward your new sponsor status.
Do you offer custom corporate or bespoke packages?
Yes. For mission-aligned companies desiring executive retreat access, private recorded briefings, or custom editorial series alignments, reach out to craft a bespoke partnership.
How and where will my recognition appear?
Sponsors are memorialized in every episode's published show notes, audio credits, and on our permanent digital Founding Sponsor Wall, designed with quiet editorial prestige.
