Today, we're doing things a little differently! I'm bringing one of my favorite recent conversations from The Running Interview Show over to the podcast, featuring Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd. In this episode we walked with Whitney in Central Park (yes, we both walk and run for the running show). 

Whitney launched Bumble at just 25 years old, transforming the dating industry with the idea that women should make the first move. She went on to take the company public in 2021, becoming one of the most recognizable female entrepreneurs in tech.

And with Bumble recently announcing a $1.3 billion deal to go private, there's never been a more interesting time to revisit her story.

During our walk, we talked about her entrepreneurial journey, building and leading a billion-dollar business, the lessons she's learned along the way, and how she sees the future of dating and connection evolving.

Our conversations on The Running Interview Show are often much longer than the clips you see on social media, so I'm excited to start sharing more of these moments with you here on the podcast.

Hope you enjoy this one!

Why do we sometimes want the people who are clearly wrong for us the most?

Relationship coach and author Sabrina Zohar joins Kate to break down the patterns that keep us chasing, overthinking, people-pleasing, self-abandoning, and staying in relationships longer than we should.

They talk about why inconsistency can feel addictive, the difference between chemistry and true compatibility, why love alone isn’t enough to make a relationship work, and how our earliest experiences can shape who we’re attracted to as adults.

Sabrina also shares how to stop focusing on whether someone is choosing you and start asking whether you’re choosing them, what a healthy and secure relationship actually looks like, and how to break the patterns that keep showing up in your dating life.

Plus, Sabrina opens up about her own dating history, the experiences that led her to become a relationship coach, and the lessons behind her book, Why Am I Like This?

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.

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.

For the first time, I'm sharing my journey into motherhood.

I start by opening up about what pregnancy was really like for me—both mentally and physically. From navigating the identity shift, to staying active, to the highs, the challenges, and everything in between, I wanted to share the experience as honestly as I could.

Then my husband, Jeremy, joins me as we tell our birth story together. We take you through the final days of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and what it was like meeting Vivian for the very first time. We also share the moments we haven't talked about publicly, what surprised us most, and how becoming parents has already changed us.

This is our most personal episode yet, and we're so excited to share it with you.

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.
