The Ultimate Unfair Advantage in the AI Era
The Stark Advisory Board Workshop
Build your private board of advisors.
Live, in 90 minutes.
You're not struggling because you're wrong.
You're struggling because you're alone.
At a certain level, business stops being about effort. It becomes about decisions.
And the truth is you're making the most important ones with incomplete perspective and no real advisory pressure. Not because you want to. Because you have no alternative. So you guess. You justify. You move forward and hope you're doing the right thing.
One wrong call on pricing, hiring, or positioning can set you back years.
What is the Stark Advisory Board?
A Stark Advisory Board is a private group of advisors you assemble yourself, built from deep research into how the people you most admire actually think, calibrated to your communication style, and structured to challenge your decisions instead of agreeing with them.
You convene them. You present your problem. You listen to their counsel. You decide.
The methodology comes from a chapter in Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich called Invisible Counselors. The technology that makes it work at scale is here. The Workshop is where you learn to build one.
This is not a generic AI tool.
Most people use AI like an assistant.
A Stark Advisory Board is something different.
Generic AI
One-size-fits-all responses
Sourced from a wide-net internet scrape
No accountability or tension
Agrees with whatever you say
No real decision-making framework
A Stark Advisory Board
Specific advisors you choose
Built from deep research into how they actually think
Calibrated to your communication style and context
Advisors challenge each other and disagree when needed
Structured to hold you accountable to better decisions
The difference is the depth of research, the specificity of the advisors, and the structured tension between them. This is a custom-built decision system, not a chatbot with a personality layer.
What You Walk Out With
A working 3-person advisory board, ready to use that night
Your board is built during the session, not after.
You leave with three fully defined advisors you can immediately use on a real decision the same day.
The research workflow to build any advisor you can name
You learn the exact process used to model how specific people think.
This lets you build new advisors anytime, based on the decisions you are facing.
The persona creation process Stark uses internally
You are shown how to structure each advisor so they respond with consistency and depth.
This is the same method used inside Stark to create reliable, decision-focused outputs.
A simple board structure that scales as you add advisors
Your board is built on a clear structure that keeps discussions focused and usable.
As you add advisors, the system stays organized and does not break down.
A functional implementation running on your own LLM tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or both)
Everything runs inside tools you already have access to.
No new platform. No dependency. You own and operate the system directly.
In ninety minutes, you have a functioning advisory board you built yourself.

Who the Workshop is Built For
This is for you if:
- You are an operator, founder, or senior leader making real decisions weekly
- You already use AI tools but feel like you're only scratching the surface
- You want decision-making firepower the rest of your industry doesn't have yet
- You want to walk out with something operational, not theoretical
This is NOT for you if:
- You want a coach or a peer-networking group
- You want someone else to build it for you (the full Stark Advisory Board exists for that)
- You want hot takes or general business advice
- You are not willing to use your own LLM tools (ChatGPT or Claude account required)
About Your Host
Decision Intelligence Speaker & Strategist
Christian Torres is a former NYPD officer who served almost a decade in federal prison for a series of bad decisions. He spent 18 months in solitary confinement, where his mind was broken, rebuilt, and rewired to think in systems and analytical constructs.
While in solitary, he read Think and Grow Rich. The final chapter described the Invisible Counselors method: holding structured advisory sessions in your mind with the people you most admire. He started doing it that night. It became a daily survival practice that kept him sane and sharpened his decision-making when the stakes were existential.
Today he is the Director of Business Intelligence for a multi-million dollar consulting firm and the founder of Stark Analytics, where he specializes in Decision Intelligence. The Stark Advisory Board is the operational expression of the practice that started in that cell.
"I know what bad decisions cost. Mine cost me my career, my freedom, and years of my life."

All the details, explained
What is the Stark Advisory Board Workshop?
The Stark Advisory Board Workshop is a 90-minute live working session, held once a month, where you build your own private 3-person advisory board using your own LLM tools. You leave with a functioning board that night, plus the workflow to add more advisors yourself.
What exactly is a Stark Advisory Board?
A private group of advisors you assemble yourself, built through deep research into how the people you most admire actually think. The board lives inside an LLM (ChatGPT or Claude). You convene it. You present your problem. The advisors respond, challenge each other, and synthesize around your specific decision. You decide.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT a question?
Generic AI gives one-size-fits-all responses sourced from a wide-net internet scrape. It agrees with whatever you say and has no real decision-making framework. A Stark Advisory Board is built from specific advisors you choose, calibrated to your style and context, structured to challenge each other and disagree when needed, and held to a documented decision-making framework. The difference is the depth of research, the specificity of the advisors, and the structured tension between them.
Do I need any technical skill?
No. You need a ChatGPT or Claude account (free or paid both work). The Workshop guides you through the build live. If you can copy and paste, you can build a board.
How long is the Workshop?
Ninety minutes, live. The format does not vary. Sessions start on time and end on time.
Who is on the board?
You choose. Real people, historical figures, fictional characters. The Workshop intake helps you pick the three who will give you the most value at this stage of your business. Past attendees have built boards with mixes like Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, and Marcus Aurelius. Or Tony Stark, Bobby Axelrod, and Harvey Specter. Or specific people from their own industry. The framework works on any combination.
How does this connect to the full Stark Advisory Board?
The Workshop teaches you to build a starter version yourself: 3 advisors, basic research workflow, simple structure. The full Stark Advisory Board is a Stark-built engagement: up to 7 advisors, deep multi-platform research into each one, full onboarding questionnaire, governance rules, board training, and a custom prompt library. Workshop first. Full SAB second, if you want it.
Are the Workshops recorded?
Yes. Attendees receive a recording for their own reference within 24 hours of the session.
Can I attend more than once?
Yes. Some attendees come back when they want to rebuild their board around a new project, add advisors, or refine personas. Each Workshop is booked individually. There is no subscription requirement.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Attend the Workshop live, stay for the full 90 minutes, and complete the build exercises during the session. If you have done those three things and still do not believe the Workshop was worth the price, request a refund within 7 days and Stark refunds in full.
