SIGNAL OVER NOISE
I’m Jim Christian, a digital strategy consultant based in Valencia. I’ve spent the few years building AI workflows for clients, testing every tool that promises to revolutionize work, and learning which ones actually deliver.
Signal Over Noise started because I was tired of AI newsletters that reported on every announcement without testing anything. I wanted to read someone who’d actually broken the tools, hit the limitations, and figured out what works.
That’s what you get here: real-world testing from someone whose livelihood depends on these tools working properly.

Maya M., Journalist | Consultant | Speaker | Remote Work Strategist
“The title says it all. AI is great, but there is SO much noise about it, with the speed of change amplified by so many hot takes and vested interests. Learning about what really matters is a full time job, which I don’t have the time for… Which is why I always make time for Jim’s newsletter.”
