Post Run High

Post Run High is a podcast about honest conversations that happen when people slow down and let their guard drop.

Hosted by Kate Mackz, the show brings together founders, creators, athletes, artists, and thinkers to talk about performance, identity, pressure, and the moments that shape who we become. Recorded after a run, walk, or shared movement, these conversations tap into the clarity that often comes when the body is tired and the mind is open.

This isn’t a show about success on paper. It’s about what people carry behind the scenes — how they cope with doubt, navigate change, stay disciplined, and keep going when things get hard. Post Run High is a space for reflection, perspective, and real insight you can take into your own life.

Andrew Ross Sorkin has spent decades sitting across from some of the most powerful and successful people in the world. So what has he learned about the people who actually make a dent in it?

After a two-mile run through Central Park, Andrew joins Kate and Jeremy to talk about the ambition, drive and luck behind extraordinary success—and why even the people who seemingly have everything often still want more. He shares what he’s learned from covering financial crises, interviewing presidents and business leaders, and watching figures like Elon Musk up close long before they became who they are today.

They also get into the future of AI, what it could mean for jobs and creativity, the importance of becoming an expert at what you do, and how Andrew has built a career around making money, business and power easier to understand.

A conversation about success, relevance, technology, power—and the people shaping the world around us.

Dr. Sasha Hamdani is a board-certified psychiatrist, ADHD specialist, and one of the leading voices changing the way we understand ADHD and emotional regulation.

In this episode, Sasha breaks down what ADHD actually is — and why it goes far beyond simply struggling to focus. We talk about why so many women are diagnosed later in life, how hormones can impact ADHD symptoms, the difference between behavioral and medication-based treatment, and the ways ADHD can show up in work, relationships, and everyday life.

Sasha also opens up about her own experience with ADHD and emotional sensitivity, and the inspiration behind her book Too Sensitive. We explore rejection, resilience, communication, and why the qualities we’re often told to suppress may actually become some of our greatest strengths.

For nearly three decades, Norah O’Donnell has built a career defined by trust, resilience, and a willingness to ask the hard questions.

In this episode of Post Run High, Norah opens up about the woman behind the journalist—from growing up in a military family and getting her first television job at age 10, to becoming one of only three women in history to solo anchor a major network evening newscast.

She shares the career lessons she learned along the way, including what it took to break into television, how she handled being underestimated as a woman, and the moment she demanded equal pay for equal work. Norah also reflects on staying composed under pressure, building confidence when others doubt you, and why having the right people around you can change the trajectory of your career.

We also talk about the women who shaped her life, the hidden female figures she highlights in her new book We the Women, and why she is bringing the same rigor she has used throughout her journalism career to her new women’s health podcast, Healthful.

It’s a conversation about ambition, courage, knowing your worth, and using your voice—even when you’re told no.
