A beginner friendly room where media buyers actually talk to each other.
Most people in paid media figure everything out alone: burning budget, testing blind, nobody to ask. That's the expensive way to learn.
Stop learning paid media the expensive way.
Freedom Forge (Pro) is a community where media buyers, affiliates, and business owners share what's working, what's flopping, and what they'd do differently.
No one-size-fits-all blueprint. Just honest back-and-forth from people in the trenches right now.
"Most ad accounts bleed money. This room is full of people whose don't. See what real buyers run daily: the setups, the numbers, and the proof."

What members say
5.0 average rating from member reviews on Skool.
"I joined because I was curious and to find someone different in the ad world... and I definitely found him. I fricken love the no BS attitude. I'm staying just for that. Too many people in the online space without integrity and the know how. 30+ year business owner here."
Ann V., Freedom Forge member
"I've really enjoyed watching the Freedom Forge Skool group evolve. What started as a place for accountability has grown into a structured space around Media Buying and skill building. I also really love and appreciate how hands-on Madison is. He's constantly pushing himself to deliver more value, improve what's being offered, and make sure the people in the community have what they need to keep growing. You can tell he genuinely cares about the success of the people inside the group."

"By far the most useful Skool group of all time. Where true value is offered. Credible and hard working members who are supportive and then there's the legend... the absolute Goat. Madison. Who actually spends times with his members... taking real life business hurdles and giving you the steroids to jump over them. If you're not in this group. You're doing it wrong."

This is for you if...
You run paid traffic or you're about to
You're in affiliate marketing, pay-per-call, e-com, lead gen, or own a business that needs leads & sales
You'd rather learn from real conversations than a $997 course
This works because people share honestly.
No posturing. No hidden funnels. Just media buyers helping each other win, because when one of us figures something out, we all move faster.
