The story behind the forge
I spent years grading papers and teaching kids about technology
while going nowhere financially myself.
while going nowhere financially myself.
So I did what I teach my students to do: I experimented. I failed a few times — local AI tools that needed hardware I didn't have, platforms that were too slow, ideas that went nowhere. Then I found the right stack.
A $20/month AI subscription. A free newsletter platform. Old hardware I already owned. That's it. That's the whole operation.
DailyForge Media exists because I needed it to exist. And if you're reading this, you probably do too.
Who this is built for
The burned-out employee
You've given years to a job that gives nothing back. You're done waiting for a raise that isn't coming.
The non-technical person
You don't know how to code and you don't need to. This entire system runs on plain English instructions to an AI.
The budget-constrained starter
No $3,000 laptop. No GPU. No big upfront investment. If you have an old PC and $20 a month, you have everything you need.
The working adult
You have maybe 5–10 hours a week. That's enough to build something that runs itself while you sleep.
