In a world filled with AI tools — where building new software, building new products, building all sorts of things, and running a business is more accessible than ever — why am I choosing to build my product management business as a consultancy and work with clients?

A Conversation with a Mentor

I recently had a conversation on this topic with a mentor of mine — a product leader who works at a very successful, top-tier technology company managing high-end products. I told him about the consultancy model I was starting, shared my plan, and wanted to get his take on it.

His opinion was essentially this: "Based on the fact that everything can be built with AI now, if I were in your situation — wanting to get into product management with your sales background and marketing skills — I would probably just find a SaaS product or a mobile app that you could build, take that to market yourself, grow the business yourself, build it with AI, and run a lean business doing it that way."

And although that may be a component of what I do, it's not the real reasoning behind the fact that I seek out and do work with other businesses, other clients, other people. That reasoning is based on something a lot deeper than revenue models, product-market fit, marketing strategy, design, or any of that. It comes down to something that can be included in business, but can also be totally exclusionary from business as well. And it's the foundational principle of this business — why I chose to create a consultancy, a product management leadership business where I am embedded and partnered into another company as a fractional, embedded product leader.

The Collective Spirit

The reason comes down to this: there is a collective, unified consciousness and emotional awareness — those two things put together might be called a collective spirit — that has been growing in size, scope, and strength over the last almost five years.

In my book, Metanomics: Reverse Engineering the Economy of Zion, I outline and detail the experiences I had on August 22nd, 2021, where there was an unveiling — an amplification — of this collective spirit. There are a lot of different names for this collective conscious awareness with emotional attributes to it. It's more than just logic; it's also emotion. You can not only think in this collective spirit, but you can also feel and experience in it. Some people call it the quantum field, or the unified field. Some people call it a variety of different names of God. I have my own opinions on how you access it, but those things are not the focus of this blog today.

This is all to say: this is the reality around which I have created High Noon Product. High Noon Product is built on the idea that this collective source spirit is actually sentient — even outside of ourselves — and that we are able to access it, live in it, and communicate through it. There is the ability to receive downloads and inspiration from this collective mind. And it's also something in which you can collaborate.

Why This Means Working with Clients

For me — outside of playing with my kids, enjoying nature, and some of the other good things in life — pertaining to my ability to generate income and provide for myself, the ability to work in that collective mind, that collective soul and spirit, and collaborate with other people who are also consciously connected to it, seems like the absolute best thing I could ever do as far as building an income for my life and helping other people in the marketplace. Because to me, that means this collective source spirit is a party in the collaboration, in the creation, and in the building of said products and business outcomes.

That is the genesis of — the catalyst for — the creation of this business. In today's world, starting a product business on your own, or some sort of software or technology product business, probably has the lowest barrier to entry of at least any point in my lifetime. And yet in this market, I have chosen to go all in on working with clients — because of this collective spirit, and being able to download these things, receive these inspirations, and then literally work on these projects in this spirit cloud, if you will: this MetaMind, this quantum unified field, or Holy Spirit — these higher states of collective consciousness that are higher than just the third-dimensional awareness that we all have as beings on this Earth.

Being able to collaborate in that with other people says a lot about a person, and it makes me want to work with those people. I do think there are hygiene components to being able to access it — without sounding discriminatory by any means, because that's not the case. It's just that there is something about being able to access this mind and this collective spirit that I feel, in a verified way, is a very powerful thing.

A Few Practical Notes

There are a few other components to why working as a consultancy is also a good model at times — a good model for the right opportunities. A lot of it has to do with some real-world business metrics to look at: like who is positioned in the market the best to bring these things forward. That's another component as well, as a quick minor topic. There are other things besides just this, and other reasons for working with people.

But to focus and fixate on the topic of this blog: the main component of how I got started with this business is from the collective downloads of inspiration on certain product categories — most of which I am a user of myself — and being able to recognize the other people in that collective download and collective working session. That is the genesis of it. And to me, it is one of the guiding principles — one of the guiding north stars — of why this business model, in this modern-day age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MetaMind?

The MetaMind is the term used in this post for the collective, unified consciousness and emotional awareness — a collective spirit — that has been growing in size, scope, and strength over roughly the last five years. It goes by many names: the quantum field, the unified field, the Holy Spirit, or various names of God. It is more than logic alone; it carries emotional attributes, meaning you can both think and feel within it.

What is High Noon Product?

High Noon Product is a product management consultancy founded by Trevor Spencer, where he works as a fractional, embedded product leader partnered into client companies. The business is built on the idea that the collective source spirit is sentient, accessible, and a genuine party in the collaboration, creation, and building of products and business outcomes.

Why choose a consultancy model instead of building your own AI-powered product?

With AI tools, launching a SaaS product or mobile app solo has perhaps the lowest barrier to entry in a lifetime — and a mentor even recommended that path. But the reasoning behind the consultancy runs deeper than revenue models or product-market fit: it's the ability to work within the collective mind and collaborate with other people who are consciously connected to it, which makes the collective spirit itself a partner in the work.

What does "receiving downloads" mean?

Downloads are inspirations and ideas received from the collective mind. In the context of High Noon Product, these came as inspiration on specific product categories — most of which Trevor uses himself — along with the ability to recognize the other people participating in that same collective download and working session.

What happened on August 22nd, 2021?

That date marks the experiences detailed in Trevor's book, Metanomics: Reverse Engineering the Economy of Zion, where there was an unveiling — an amplification — of the collective spirit. Those experiences form the foundation of the worldview around which High Noon Product was created.

Is this a religious idea?

It can be described in religious terms — some call it the Holy Spirit or use various names of God — but it's also described in other frameworks, such as the quantum field or unified field. The post intentionally leaves opinions on how to access it for another discussion; the focus here is that this collective conscious awareness is real, sentient, and something you can live in, communicate through, and collaborate within.

What does a "fractional, embedded product leader" do?

A fractional, embedded product leader partners directly into another company as part of their team, providing product management leadership without being a full-time hire. It's a consultancy model where the leader is embedded in the client's work — collaborating on strategy, products, and business outcomes.

Are there practical business reasons for the consultancy model too?

Yes. Beyond the collective spirit foundation, there are real-world business considerations — like who is positioned best in the market to bring a given product forward. There are a variety of reasons for working with clients and other people, but the main catalyst for this business remains the collective downloads of inspiration and the collaboration they make possible.
