For more than 10 years, Chai has appeared on television news programs, keynotes and talk shows, performed consulting work, as well as written numerous columns, leading the way with the motto: "Instead of letting differences separate us, why not use these differences to bring us together." At UCLA, he has provided political strategy to some of the most prominent Democrats of our generation, including Barack Obama, the Democratic Nation Convention, The Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and General Wesley Clark. He has a weekly segment, "Chai Day," on MSNBC's "The Beat with Ari Melber."
A political strategist with connections to key influencers and decision-makers at the federal, state, and local levels of government, Chai has also organized companies, effecting meaningful and lasting change. He has secured hundreds of millions of dollars in crucial funding and united diverse political groups into singular and cohesive action.
An alumnus of New York University, Chai draws upon the latest in psychology, evolutionary biology and social science, as well as a wealth of knowledge in history and philosophy, to empower people to understand why they think and behave and, most importantly, react in certain situations towards people with differences. Chai helps people first understand why we react, to identify those feelings, and then understand how to change their mindset and behavior towards people who are different from themselves. He doesn't stop there, drawing on the lessons of history and philosophy, Chai is dedicated to showing that historically cosmopolitan societies yield the greatest civilizational achievements, not through isolation, but through unification and diversity.
