The Jay Way: Recent Episodes
Jay Gokhale
Hi, my name is Jay Gokhale, and I would love for you to hear my thoughts! I'm an 18 year-old student from Ohio, and every episode I follow the Jay Way Principles: no BS, no scripted rhetoric, 100% genuine, from the heart discussions. I cover many different topics, but every episode I'll include something related to politics, a life lesson from me (with a comedic story), and a discussion topic (that will range from silly to serious). Hope you enjoy!
In this podcast, Jay Gokhale interviews 5 politicians, State Senator Mona Das, Commissioner Usha Reddi, State Senator Tim Schaffer, State Senator Niraj Antani, and U.S House of Representatives Candidate Morgan Harper. The purpose of the episode is to understand political leadership styles and analyze the field of politics through a leadership lens. Not only do the interview guests discuss their personal leadership philosophies, but they also answer intriguing questions such as "Does our current political system undermine effective leadership?". Tune in to hear these wonderful people share incredible insights!

This is the last special edition episode in this series! In the episode, I talk with a great person, Colin Harrison, and we discuss very important issues within American society. In the midst of the horrendous video that surfaced that showed the cold-hearted murder of Ahmaud Arbery, and the picture of people gathering in West Village (who violated social distancing guidelines) that went viral, we discuss the issues of racism and double standards in our criminal justice system and ways to solve it. Additionally, we talk about the dangers of ignorance in the political realm, and some of our favorite debate memories. Watch here or listen on Spotify or Anchor!
