Editor in Chief Jake Ford and Senior Interview Editor Disraeli Smith sit with legendary broadcaster José Diaz-Balart. Jake and Disraeli talk about diversity in public policy, uncertainty and how to overcome divisiveness in politics. Plus, in a GPPR podcast first, José asks us a question!
Disraeli is a second year MPP student at the McCourt School of Public Policy. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Disraeli received his undergraduate and MBA from Florida A&M University. Disraeli’s policy interests include urban and community development, education, political strategy and the role of financial services in the world. Disraeli’s classmates call him crazy for also working full time as a Management Consulting Manager, but he loves financial services and policy so why not do both? In his spare time, he loves politics, sports and doing amazing things with his friends.
