You have a story in you. The question is: how do you turn it into an actual book – and how do you make it meaningful for the children who will read it?

This conversation is for aspiring children's authors, caregivers, and anyone who wants to turn a creative idea into a real book. Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads the conversation.

In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman, the bi-weekly geopolitical series on The KAJ Masterclass LIVE, host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) examines a series of fragile agreements and escalating tensions across multiple fronts with Irina Tsukerman, a US-based national security and human rights lawyer, renowned geopolitical analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Outsider.

Is the US-Iran ceasefire real — or a convenient fiction? In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman — the bi-weekly geopolitical series on KAJ Masterclass LIVE — host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) sits down with Irina Tsukerman, US-based national security and human rights lawyer, geopolitical analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Outsider, to dissect a Middle East in controlled chaos: why Trump keeps treating a violated ceasefire as intact, what Iran is actually waiting out, and how the Strait of Hormuz blockade is quietly strangling economies from Kuwait to India.

The conversation expands outward — Venezuela's interim leader visiting New Delhi, Marco Rubio's maintenance diplomacy in India, China's conspicuous absence from the Shangri-La Dialogue, and Japan's quiet transformation into a serious regional security actor. Each thread connects: energy dependence, supply chain fragility, and the realignment of middle powers in an era of great-power competition.

A special conversation with author Dr. Will Tuttle on their book “The World Peace Way: Six Keys to Health and Harmony for All.

”Dr. Will Tuttle has spent over five decades studying what it actually takes to be healthy — not just physically, but psychologically, spiritually, and socially. A former Zen monk, PhD, and author of the international bestseller The World Peace Diet, he joins this conversation to walk through his newest book, The World Peace Way, a practical guide built around six keys: diet, spiritual practice, relationships, movement, nature, and creativity.

What makes this conversation worth staying with is how grounded it is.
