Signal vs. Noise
A Clarity-Building Process for Founders — by the 'Just Talk' Founder
In the early stages of building a startup, founders are bombarded with conflicting advice, opinions, doubts, and distractions — the noise. But hidden within that noise are insights that actually matter — the signal.
At our core, we help founders develop a personalized Signal-Noise Filtering Process based on their unique traits. This isn't just about mindset — it's about creating a practical, repeatable way to:
-
Cut through overwhelm and overthinking
-
Identify what truly aligns with your instincts and values
-
Gain clarity on what decisions move the needle
-
Build with more confidence, focus, and momentum
By understanding how you process information and feedback, we help you tune into the signals that matter — and tune out the noise that doesn't. The Signal-Noise Workshop is based on our Private Jet Consulting Model™ — a focused, founder-first approach to help you cut through the noise and act on what truly matters.
It’s like developing your own internal compass — one that's calibrated to you, not generic startup advice.
5-hour Signal-Noise Workshop
🔎 1st Hour – Deep Dive: Personality Preferences
We start by uncovering how you are wired — your decision-making style, how you respond to ambiguity, how you handle feedback, and what drives your energy. This forms the foundation for your unique signal-noise filter.
🔹 Outcome: A personal lens to interpret external input with more clarity and self-trust.
🧠 2nd Hour – Zeroing In: Core Problem & Solution
Next, we cut through the clutter of ideas to define your actual problem-solution fit. You’ll identify what you’re truly trying to solve — not what others think you should.
🔹 Outcome: A clearer, founder-aligned problem statement and a solution that feels authentic and scalable.
🧍 3rd Hour – Human Focus: Core Buyer Personality
Forget generic user personas. We’ll map the psychological profile of your real buyer — what motivates them, what blocks them, and how they align with your product vision.
🔹 Outcome: A sharper sense of your audience’s emotional and decision-making triggers.
🤝 4th Hour – Alignment: Like-Minded Peers & Relationships
This hour focuses on identifying collaborators, co-founders, team members, or advisors who match your vibe. No more misfit energy — just people who get it.
🔹 Outcome: A shortlist of the kind of people who amplify your clarity instead of adding noise.
📡 5th Hour – The Filter: Signal vs. Noise Practice
Finally, we help you apply your new filter in real-time. We’ll examine the advice, opinions, doubts, and data around you — and teach you how to sort what’s useful from what’s distracting.
🔹 Outcome: A live-tested filter that helps you stay clear, confident, and self-aligned as you build.
