Tara Seshan leads product for Codex and ChatGPT Work at OpenAI (alongside previous podcast guest Andrew Ambrosino, who's her engineering manager). Before OpenAI, Tara spent over six years at Stripe, where she joined as one of the first five product managers. She went on to lead product for Watershed, which Time magazine named one of the best inventions of 2022, and she is also a founder and Thiel Fellow. Most personally meaningful to me: Tara is one of the three inaugural Lenny's Newsletter Fellows, a program I ran a couple of years ago to spotlight the most exciting up-and-coming product leaders.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. The shift from “rowing” to “steering,” and why human judgment and ambition will become differentiators as AI takes on execution2. How OpenAI thinks about building for model capabilities two to three months out3. OpenAI's best internal memes, such as “Is this maximally accelerated?” and “Are you mainlining it yet?”4. Why ambition is the new bottleneck for companies, and why elevating others' ambitions is now the key part of the PM job5.

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has joined the calls for a shark cull following the recent attack in New South Wales. A 35-year-old woman was left with serious arm and leg injuries after she was bitten by a shark at Sydney's Coogee Beach over the weekend. Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says the former Prime Minister claimed it was time Australia 'put people before sharks'. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One week on, the war in Iran is progressing by the day. In the latest, the United States are gearing up to potentially send ground troops into Iran, Australia is considering whether they should send in troops, and New Zealand supports the US but won't involve itself any further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the Iranian regime “by and large, needed to be punished” and “did not deserve any mercy,” according to former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, it is possible that “a little bit more flexibility” in the negotiations for a nuclear agreement leading up to the U.S.-Israel assault might have meant they “would have resulted in a different way.” Olmert made his remarks in a dialogue with Haaretz Global Editor Noa Landau, featured in a plenary at the J Street Convention in Washington D.C. – and coinciding with the initial days of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran. Olmert expressed satisfaction that U.S. President Donald Trump pushed back on remarks from prominent Republicans that Israel pushed the US into the war and “did not pretend to say that he was fighting for us. He said in the most explicit manner: ‘They are American enemies. This is an American war. I'm fighting for America, and I had to do it for America.’ No one saved Israel, or no one got mixed up in a war in order to save Israel.” In his dialogue with Landau, Olmert also discussed the Israeli-Palestinian peace initiative he is pursuing with former Palestinian Authority foreign minister Dr. Nasser al-Kidwa to “move forward into entirely new realities on the basis of cooperation and mutual respect and compromise and compassion.” He harshly condemned the ongoing and record-setting settler violence in the West Bank as “obnoxious” and “heartbreaking.” Speaking out against such actions, he added, "is essential if you want, as a Jew, not to be linked to these actions. You have to speak up.” Read more: 'I Might Have Forced Israel's Hand': Trump Denies Israel Dragged U.S. Into Iran War After Rubio Comments Draw Ire As Israeli Defense Officials Push for a Long Offensive, Trump Still Has Doubts 'Both Sides Are Tired of War': Former PM Ehud Olmert Makes Two-state Proposal With Former Palestinian Minister Police Report Average of Four Daily Incidents of West Bank Settler Violence in Early 2026 The latest reporting on West Bank settler violenceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper is back in the spotlight this week as he celebrates 20 years since winning his first election — and he's got a stark warning about U.S. threats to Canada's economy. Power & Politics reflects on Harper's legacy with a panel of former colleagues and observers: those who worked with him, for him or wrote about him.

The UK's former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who appointed Peter Mandelson as a cabinet minister, has called for an ethical shakeup in public life in the wake of the Epstein scandal. Mr Brown also defended Prime Minister Keir Starmer as a man of principle who could tackle the problem.Also in the programme: Russia attacks more energy infrastructure in Ukraine; political analysis of President Trump's racist Truth Social post; and will the Japanese prime minister's decision to call a snap election pay off?

Gordon Brown says Sir Keir Starmer is in a "serious" situation as he battles to keep his job - but insisted the Prime Minister was the right man to "clean up the system". Sir Keir is facing scrutiny about his appointment of Lord Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US - after files released by the US Department of Justice suggested the peer had close links with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Also: President Zelensky says Russia has used more than 400 drones and around 40 missiles in its latest attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. And: At the Winter Olympics in Italy, the first gold medal has been won by the Swiss skier, Franjo von Allmen, who was crowned champion of the men's downhill in Bormio.

Bangladesh has entered its most tense political phase in decades after a special tribunal sentenced former prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death. Exiled in India, Hasina has rejected the ruling, calling it unlawful and politically motivated, as protests erupt and party loyalists vow resistance. Analysts say her exile in India leaves a leadership vacuum ahead of elections. It remains to be seen whether the crisis now moves toward diplomacy or spirals into further violence.

In the early 1990s, former New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange found himself at the center of a defamation storm in Australia. The ABC re-broadcast allegations suggesting he acted improperly while in office. Lange sued, sparking a legal battle that reached the High Court and tested the limits of free political communication under the Constitution. Lange v ABC set a landmark precedent: political speech is protected, but not at the expense of personal reputation. In this episode, we unpack the courtroom drama, the judgment, and the enduring impact on media, politics, and the law in Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

‘‘I was a very ambitious young girl, I looked at Margaret Thatcher and Israeli Prime Minister, Golda Meir, and I said well, if they can do it at that level, why not me?'' What and who made you the person you are today? It's a big question and the answer is different for us all. Over the festive period Alan Kasujja will be exploring this subject with people who have gone on to do amazing things in their lives. In the first interview of this special series, Alan speaks to former Senegalese Prime Minister Dr Aminata Toure.As she pursued her education in France and the USA, Aminata was clear in her mind what she wanted to do: champion human and women's rights.Her work on reproductive health in Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and later with the United Nations would help her prepare a set of priorities for when her opportunity would come to serve in the government.But it wasn't all work and she loved football and judo - interests her mother worried would stop her from finding a husband.
