Friends say, I've lived what many would call science fiction: surviving Covid, a stroke, and cancer, (one after the other) rebuilding my strength and vision, and then partnering with artificial intelligence—not as a tool, but as a co-founder—to create a new business concept. It's dramatic, powerful, deeply human, and deeply futuristic. I was not just building Freedom Forge AI... I was forging freedom through AI. And that paradox—machine intelligence driven by human willpower—is the heart of the story.
