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.

Intro

Why Jamie Runs

Running as a Mental Reset While Building

Building Through Long Periods of Uncertainty

The Origin of Ring (Solving a Real Problem)

Inventor vs Entrepreneur Thinking

Pitching Shark Tank

Walking Away Without a Deal 

How Shark Tank Visibility Changed Everything

AI and The Value of Grit

Selling Ring to Amazon

Cash Pressure, Hypergrowth, and Close Calls

Life After the Exit: Building Again

North Stars, Endurance, and Long Games

Final Advice and Closing Thoughts

Jamie breaks down what really happened after his Shark Tank pitch, how visibility mattered more than the deal itself, and why building a fast-growing hardware company can be dangerous. He explains the brutal cash cycles behind Ring’s growth, how close the company came to running out of money, and what ultimately led to selling Ring to Amazon for over $1 billion.

Beyond business, Jamie talks about running as a daily reset, why he hires people who think like marathoners, how consistency compounds over time, and what it takes to keep making decisions when there’s no clear finish line. He also shares how mission — not products — scaled Ring, and why building things that genuinely help people has guided every phase of his career.

A wide-ranging conversation on endurance, uncertainty, and what long-term progress actually feels like while you’re still in it.

Dr. Dana Lebo is a performance psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience, a lifelong runner, and a clinical hypnosis expert (President-elect of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis).

In this episode of Post Run High, Kate sits down with Dana for a deep conversation about performance, resilience, and what happens when both the mind and body hit the wall.

Dana shares her firsthand experience of falling and breaking her arm at mile 12 of the New York City Marathon—and the mindset that helped her recover, return to racing, and keep moving forward. From elite marathon strategy to everyday mental health, this conversation explores how movement unlocks clarity, emotional regulation, and psychological breakthroughs.

You’ll hear Dana break down her MVP Method—Mindfulness, Visualization, and Positive Self-Coaching—and how these tools are used by elite athletes, CEOs, and high performers to push through physical limits, manage anxiety, and reframe setbacks.

This episode covers:
• What really happens mentally when runners “hit the wall”
• Why movement can be as powerful as traditional therapy
• How visualization actually works (and what people get wrong about it)
• The role of clinical hypnosis in performance and recovery
• Why aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down
• How to build mental resilience without relying on medication
• Why running—and moving—creates deeper human connection

Whether you’re an athlete, a high performer, or someone navigating a hard season of life, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to keep going—you just have to keep moving.
