  • Why Talking at a Virtual Audience Isn't Engagement (and What to Do Instead) | David Doerrier

    Why Talking at a Virtual Audience Isn't Engagement (and What to Do Instead) | David Doerrier
    18 Oct 2026
    Talking at an audience is not engagement, and on a screen the gap shows faster. Speaker trainer David Doerrier explains why engagement has to begin before the first point is made, with a clear answer to “what’s in it for me?” — especially for audiences who didn't choose to be there. The conversation covers looking into the camera, reading an audience you can't fully see, and three principles that work from stage to screen: know your audience, tell short stories, and end with a compelling conclusion. It also reframes nerves as excitement and argues that presenters should warm up for performance much like athletes do.

  • Why News Isn't Working for Young People—and How Design Can Fix It | Jack Brewster

    Why News Isn't Working for Young People—and How Design Can Fix It | Jack Brewster
    17 Oct 2026
    Young people are not uninterested in the world; the places where they encounter news were never designed to help them understand it. Social platforms optimized for attention and advertising have unbundled the newspaper into feeds, leaving many 18-to-30-year-olds overwhelmed, distrustful, and often unable to name the sources shaping their view. Jack Brewster, a former Forbes journalist and founder of Newsreel, argues that the response is not to abandon quality journalism but to borrow the engagement mechanics of social media, apply them to journalist-produced news, and rebuild a daily habit through streaks, quizzes, and shared classroom use. The stakes are not just media consumption, but whether a generation can participate as informed citizens.Support KAJ Masterclass — help sustain independent editorial work: https://kajmasterclass.com/support =========================================About KAJ Masterclass MediaKAJ Masterclass Media is home to a video-first, live-first, editorially independent conversation ecosystem exploring leadership, business, AI, careers, health, creativity, and the evolving human experience through thoughtful, unscripted conversations grounded in lived experience, clarity, and real-world insight.This show is part of the KAJ Masterclass ecosystem, which includes The KAJ Masterclass LIVE, The Author's Voice with KAJ, and a growing collection of editorially independent conversation platforms.Every conversation is designed to leave you with something meaningful to think about, understand, or apply.🌐 https://www.kajmasterclass.com =========================================Host — Khudania Ajay(KAJ) Khudania Ajay (KAJ) is an independent journalist and the host of more than 2,500 long-form conversations across leadership, business, technology, media, wellness, authorship, and the future of work.🌐 https://www.khudaniaajay.comLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajaykhudania/ =========================================Watch.

  • The Story We Choose to Tell: Storytelling in the Age of AI & Short Attention Spans | Craig Forrest

    The Story We Choose to Tell: Storytelling in the Age of AI & Short Attention Spans | Craig Forrest
    28 Sep 2026
    What does it mean to bear witness to the darkest corners of humanity — and still find light? That's the question Craig D. Forrest has lived with for more than four decades. An award-winning director and documentary filmmaker, he has covered terrorism, voodoo sacrifices, war zones, and cultic practices across more than 100 countries — and says those encounters have deepened rather than diminished his faith. In this conversation, Craig reflects on what it means to tell stories in a changing world, where technology gives almost everyone the power to tell them, but the responsibility for what we choose to tell remains human.
