The IronPreneur Research Library
An AI-first, human-on-top research library for founders who refuse to guess.
This is not one static guide you read once and shelve. It is a living research library that grows every week: peer-reviewed science, field-tested protocols, and two decades of hard-won founder-athlete experience, distilled into something you can actually use on a Tuesday morning before a board call. The folklore is loud. The evidence is quieter, and far more useful. We do the reading so your next decision is not a guess.
Why this is different
Most knowledge products go stale the day they ship. This one does not. We use AI to read at a scale no person can match, then a human, me, sits on top of it to judge what is signal and what is noise, grade the evidence, and translate it into protocols that survive contact with a real founder day. New science lands, the library updates. You are not buying a finished book. You are subscribing to a research engine that keeps working after you have stopped reading.
AI-first
Machine-scale reading across thousands of sources, refreshed continuously.
Human-on-top
Evidence graded and curated by a biomedical PhD and Ironman, not an algorithm alone.
Human-in-the-loop
Protocols pressure-tested against a real founder-athlete life, then corrected.
Inside the library
Each of these is a deep, evidence-graded body of work, not a blog post. New domains and updates land continuously. This is a sample of what members reach for, and a preview of how far down it goes.
How elite founders return to Ironman peak faster than the folklore says. A week-by-week re-entry protocol for time-constrained, high-pressure schedules.
40–60%
faster detraining recovery with structured re-entry vs. an unplanned return, drawn from 181 studies

The contradiction nobody resolves for you: the diet that wins races is not the diet that buys decades. Where they conflict, where they overlap, and how to phase between them.
Two diets
one body. The comparative analysis that maps the tension instead of pretending it away
Unlock with membership
Fasting for the comeback athlete, separated from the hype. What it does to glycogen, autophagy, and training quality, and exactly when it helps a builder and when it sabotages a session.
When, not whether
the timing protocols that decide if a fast helps or wrecks your week
Unlock with membership
The split-shift model for racing Ironman while running a company across Western timezones. Why evening training wrecks your sleep, and how to rebuild the day around recovery.
The day, redesigned
a circadian-aligned 24-hour schedule built for 50 to 70 hour weeks, not passive income
Unlock with membership
The unsentimental accounting of what a few drinks actually does to sleep architecture, recovery, hormones, and your next training block. The numbers most people would rather not see.
The hidden tax
what alcohol quietly takes from recovery and performance, quantified
Unlock with membership
Protein, carbohydrates, and fats decoded for the founder-athlete, then taken into the kitchen: organ meats made genuinely delicious, the world's great pâtés, fermentation from kefir to cottage cheese.
Science to plate
evidence translated into food you will actually cook and want to eat

Top tier only
The single most valuable thing we will ever build: a direct, AI-native line into the entire research database. Not a search box, a conversation. Top-tier members query the full body of science and experience in plain language and get a graded, sourced answer in seconds, tuned to the founder-athlete context. It is like having the research team, the coach, and the scientist on call, at the exact moment a decision cannot wait.
Reserved for the top membership tier. This is the asset that justifies the room.

I have 3 weeks until a launch and I detrained for two months. Where do I focus to get the most fitness back without blowing up?
Prioritise aerobic base over intensity. Endurance qualities return faster than peak power, and structured re-entry recovers detraining 40 to 60% faster than an unplanned ramp. Run 3 to 4 controlled aerobic sessions a week at conversational effort, add one short threshold touch, and protect sleep ruthlessly: evening sessions cost you more in recovery than they return.
How to get in
The Research Library is not sold as a one-off download. It is the engine behind IronPreneur membership, and AI-native access to the database is reserved for the top tier. We open to the waitlist first, and we screen for fit. Add your name and we will tell you the moment the door opens.
