You do not have to run this alone.
You started this business to build independence. To build something you owned. To work for yourself, not for a boss.
Somewhere along the way the business became the boss.
You are the CEO, the CFO, the CRO, the COO. You make capital decisions on gut. You read your financials with a feeling, not a model. You manage your team with hope. There is no board above you. No room of peers at your level. No one whose job is to look at the business at the ownership altitude and tell you the truth.
Owner-operators of $500K to $10M+ in EBITDA businesses are the most successful and the most isolated people in business. The Boardroom is what changes that.
Here’s where you are in the iBD path:
What the Boardroom is
The Boardroom is the ongoing membership for owners who completed the 90-Day Boardroom Blueprint™. $2,500 per month. Twelve months, then month-to-month.
It is not a peer group. It is not a curriculum. It is not a coaching program. It is not a software tool.
It is all of them, integrated, running on the same rhythm, built around the same operating system, evolving together every week. The methodology, the community, the experts, the AI Vault, and the room of peers, all moving together. This is the environment iBD ships. No one else ships it.
The rest of this page is the seven things that make that environment real.
1. Monday Open Office Hours with Ryan
Every Monday. Ninety minutes. Open Q&A.
Bring a real question. The biggest decision on your desk this week. The number that scared you on Friday. The team conversation you have been avoiding. The strategic call you cannot get past with your gut.
You walk in with the question. You walk out with a real answer. Ryan facilitates. Other owners weigh in. The room thinks it through together.
Monday is education and clarity. It is where the week starts with your head straight.
2. Tuesday Guided Trainings — built live, with you in the room
Every Tuesday is a guided training on a real topic. Not a scheduled functional meeting. Not the same agenda every week. The topic changes based on what the iBD curriculum is building next and what the room needs.
Ryan or a guest expert teaches the topic live. You attend, ask questions, work through the material, and bring your own situation into the conversation. Your executives are welcome. Bring your CRO when revenue is the topic. Bring your CFO when financials are the topic. Bring your COO when operations is the topic. The methodology stops being something only you understand. The team starts running the same operating system.
This is not a presentation. It is a working session. Ryan and the expert build the material in front of you, with you in it. The slides, the framework, the tool, the exercise. All of it gets refined in real time, with the room reacting and pulling at it.
After the call, the recording gets cleaned up and sliced. The slices land in the iBD AI Vault as the next curriculum article. The framework gets added to the toolset. The exercise becomes the next AI walkthrough. You leave Tuesday having helped build the thing you will use Wednesday.
This is the 7x leverage pattern. One Tuesday training produces seven outputs: the live session, the recording, the vault article, the AI walkthrough, the newsletter, the podcast, the social posts. iBD builds the system once. The Boardroom members consume it across seven surfaces. You are inside the loop, not waiting for it to finish.
3. The iBD community feed, running every day
In between the calls, the community runs in Mighty Networks.
Drop a question on a curriculum lesson. Comment on what landed in Tuesday’s training. Pull up a peer when you want a second read on a pricing decision. Ping Pat with a finance question. Ping Kim with a revenue question. Comment on someone else’s win and steal what worked.
The community is the connective tissue between the structured weekly rhythm and the unstructured daily reality of running the business.
4. Quarterly Virtual Workshops
Every quarter. A two-day guided workshop. Co-facilitated by Ryan, Kim, and Pat, with rotating guest experts on the quarterly topic.
You reset your 90-Day Game Plan with the team in the room. Numbers reviewed. Constraints named. The next One Thing locked. The quarterly cadence aligns with your boardroom rhythm, so the Game Plan you set in the workshop becomes the work you run inside your own company for the next 90 days.
The quarterly workshop is also where the curriculum gets pushed forward in real time. New experts. New material. New tools that fold back into the AI Vault for everyone.
5. The Annual Summit
Once a year. Two days. In person. The whole room together.
The Annual Summit is full system recalibration. North Star refreshed. Five-year Owner’s Scorecard updated. Value Growth Plan™ rebuilt. Budget against prior year actuals. Annual planning done with the experts and the peers who watched you build it.
The Annual Summit is also the only time everyone is in the same room physically. The relationships compound differently when you are eating dinner together than when you are on a Zoom call.
6. The iBD AI Vault
This is the part no one else ships.
Every Boardroom member gets their own working Obsidian vault. The vault holds the entire iBD Ownership OS™: every module, every milestone, every tool, every exercise, every concept, every podcast. Your AI is plugged in and walks you through the methodology in your own working environment, on your own data, at your own pace.
The vault and the Tuesday training run as one loop. What you helped build on Tuesday lands in the vault the following Sunday. The recording becomes the article. The framework becomes the tool. The exercise becomes the next AI walkthrough. The system you are running on Wednesday is more complete than the one you were running on Tuesday, because you were in the room when it got built.
Every Sunday, iBD ships updates. New material lands in the canonical vault. You pull Monday morning. Your AI reads the diff and walks you through what changed. Coaching happens inside the vault. The Monthly Ownership Meeting you run inside your own company is built from the templates inside the vault. The financial model from your Blueprint stays alive inside the vault and Pat keeps it current as your numbers move.
The vault is not a reference library. It is your working operating system, and it gets better while you sleep.
7. The room of owner-operators
The other members of the Boardroom are the most leveraged thing in the room.
Twenty to fifty owner-operators of $500K to $10M+ EBITDA businesses. All running the same operating system. All speaking the same vocabulary. All on the same weekly rhythm. All scoring themselves against the same 27-milestone framework.
When you ask a question in the feed, you are asking owners who have already lived the answer. When you bring a decision into Tuesday’s training, you are bringing it to peers who think about ownership the way you do. When you sit in the Annual Summit, you are sitting next to the people whose businesses are about to inflect for the same reason yours is.
The room is the only part of the Boardroom iBD does not build. It is the part the members build with each other, every week, every month, every year.
What this means for you
The decisions get made against the framework. The numbers get read against a model. The team gets developed against a system. The peers and the experts and the AI and the rhythm all pull in the same direction.
Two years in, the Velocity Score has moved. The valuation has moved. The owner’s role has moved. The business is genuinely different.
That is the difference between owning the business and being owned by it.
What you do not get at this tier
The Boardroom is the integrated environment. It is not a one-on-one relationship with a dedicated coach who knows your full situation.
If you want that, it is the Coaching tier. $5,000 per month total. Same Boardroom layer plus an Ownership Coach who acts as your operating partner. A coach who has lived the cycle and shows up alongside you on the big decisions.
If you are a current Boardroom member considering the upgrade, talk to your assigned coach at your next session.
Who this is for
- Blueprint graduates ready to install the rest of the iBD Ownership OS™.
- Owners who want a weekly rhythm that runs whether or not they have a 1:1 coach in the room.
- Owners who want to bring their CRO, CFO, and COO into the iBD environment over time.
- Owners who learn faster with peers who have installed the same framework and speak the same language.
- Owners who want their operating system to keep evolving without them having to build it.
Who this is not for
- Owners looking for a generic peer group or networking community. The Boardroom is built around a specific operating system. Owners who do not run that system get less value than they should.
- Owners who want a dedicated coach who carries their full context. That is the Coaching tier.
- Owners who have not completed the Blueprint. There is no path in that does not start with the Blueprint.
The commitment
$2,500 per month. Twelve months, then month-to-month.
Twelve months is not arbitrary. The full system needs that long to install. Six months to work through the first half of the curriculum and the first set of Game Plans. Another six to integrate executives, install the Annual Summit cadence, and run the quarterly resets twice. Year 2 is where the compounding shows up in your numbers.
Owners who compress install nothing fully. Owners who give it a year install all of it.
How to get in
Start with the 90-Day Boardroom Blueprint™ →
Every Boardroom member came through the Blueprint first. No exceptions.
If you have already graduated from the Blueprint, your continuation decision is made at the Wrap-Up Call in Week 13. Your assigned coach walks you through the three options.
Not sure where to begin? Take the Ownership Assessment. It is the front door for every iBD path.
One more thing
Owning a business does not have to mean owning it alone.
The Boardroom is where you stop running the company by gut and start running it inside the system that has the rhythm, the room, the experts, and the working tools to make it real.
You did not start this business to be isolated. You started it to be free.
This is where free actually happens.
