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.

What if your memory isn’t bad — it’s just untrained?

In this episode, Kate and Jeremy sit down with world-renowned brain coach and memory expert Jim Kwik to break down how we can train our brains to learn faster, remember more, focus better, and stay mentally sharp.

Jim shares how a childhood brain injury and years of struggling in school led him to dedicate his life to understanding how the brain learns. He explains why intelligence isn’t fixed, the strategies that can make learning easier, and the techniques he uses to remember hundreds of names.

They also dive into why multitasking is hurting your focus, the best way to take a “brain break,” how your morning routine can shape the rest of your day, and why reaching for your phone first thing might be working against you.

Jim also shares his approach to raising curious, confident kids, why movement and social connection are essential for long-term brain health, and the daily practices he believes can help all of us build a stronger mind.

In this episode:


Why there’s no such thing as a “bad memory”


Jim’s BEFAST framework for learning faster


How to remember anyone’s name


Why multitasking is actually task-switching


The best way to structure study and work sessions


Why you shouldn’t check your phone first thing in the morning


Jim’s 10-minute morning routine


How exercise, sleep, hydration, and connection affect your brain


How to become a better learner at any age


How parents can help raise confident, capable kids

For years, women have been made to feel like they have to prove they belong in sports. Lily Shimbashi is working to change that.

Lily is the founder of Sportsish, a media brand at the intersection of sports, culture, fashion and storytelling that was created specifically with female sports fans in mind. In this episode, we talk about the gap she saw in traditional sports media, what she learned working behind the scenes in the NBA, and how becoming a mom gave her the confidence to finally bet on herself and build the company she had been thinking about for years.

We also get into why sports and pop culture are becoming increasingly intertwined, how Taylor Swift and entertainment are bringing new audiences into sports, why female fans shouldn’t be put into one box, and Lily’s journey from Sportsish to creating content with ESPN.

Plus, we talk motherhood, entrepreneurship, rejection, online criticism, work-life balance and why Lily believes the best thing you can do is stop being afraid to fail.

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.
