Community Founder Fellowship

Building the New Town Square—Together

Because the only way to create places where work, learning, and life flow as one…is to create them as one.

Why This Fellowship Exists

All One Thing isn’t building community spaces for people—we’re building them with people. This isn’t something you “buy into”; it’s a movement we co-create shoulder-to-shoulder. Our dream is to walk into AOT hubs across the country that share our ethos while showcasing their own local flair.

After launching dozens of pop-ups in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Asheville - serving 250 + families - we’ve watched spreadsheets (far more than we’d like to admit), text threads, and late-night planning sessions turn strangers into neighbors. 

We have learned a lot and now we’re inviting you to help spark All One Thing in your city.

Whether you host a single Sunset Sunday or sprint toward a full-scale AOT location with partners and real estate in tow, the rules are the same:

1. Share what works. We publish every template, tool, and lesson the moment we learn it.

2. Learn in public. Your experiments—wins and flops—become the next cohort’s playbook.

3. Build in community. Founders, families, and kids turn their cameras on; dogs bark in the background; spreadsheets get crushed in real time. That’s the vibe.

If that make your shoulders drop and your heart speed up, you’re in the right place.

The 12-Week Journey

*Please note some of this schedule may shift as we get into the fellowship and learn from everyone what the collective needs are in real-time.

Brass Tacks / FAQ

• Is there a fee to join?
  Nope. The fellowship is free—your sweat equity is the ticket.

• Can I earn money from day one?
  Yes. Every event we have hosted in the past has been cash-positive. You keep the majority; AOT takes a fractional share to cover brand, tech, insurance, legal infrastructure, and our team’s support.

• What if I just want to dip a toe in?
  Start with a single Sunset Sunday or Spice Night event. Zero pressure to scale unless it feels right to you.

• What if it’s not for me?
  No harm, no foul. Take what you learned, live your best life, stay friends.

• Are kids allowed on Zoom calls?
  Absolutely—curious questions encouraged.
