In a world drowning in clickbait, outrage, and misinformation, Kira bravely stepped away from the traditional media machine to build something radically different — an anti-news company. He shares how growing up in conflict zones, battling imposter syndrome, and witnessing the cost of fake news fueled his mission to create trustworthy, human-centered journalism.
We explore how emotional burnout, external pressure, and the fight for focus shape both our media and our minds — and what we can do about it.
Key Points:

• Building a business rooted in truth
