Love this idea, and definitely wish my workplace will have regular knowledge meetings.
In my experience trying this in the past, nearly everyone is excited to participate and learn, but the significant entry barrier for everyone has been "what should I teach?"

Any advice on initial structure & topics to encourage a more organic flow later?
