Post Run High

In this episode of Post Run High, I sit down with financial creator and bestselling author Mrs. Dow Jones (Haley Sacks) to unpack the money habits, mindset shifts, and financial mistakes keeping so many people feeling stressed, stuck, and financially behind — even while earning more money than ever before. We talk about lifestyle creep, emotional spending, investing, financial independence, dating and money, creator income, why high earners still live paycheck to paycheck, and the psychology behind why so many people never actually feel “rich.” Haley also shares the lessons she learned going from working in comedy and entertainment to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in modern financial literacy for women online. Whether you’re in your 20s/30s trying to figure out budgeting, navigating inconsistent income, building wealth for the future, or simply trying to stop feeling financially overwhelmed, this conversation breaks down money in a way that feels approachable, realistic, and empowering.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author and leading voice in women’s health who has spent decades studying how hormones impact training, metabolism, and longevity. She explains why most workout advice is built around male biology — and why that approach often leads to injury, burnout, and stalled results for women. From the menstrual cycle to pregnancy and menopause, Dr. Pelz breaks down how women should actually train to support hormones, strength, and long-term health. She explains: Why women shouldn’t train the same way men do How female hormones change strength, cardio, and recovery When women should push harder — and when rest matters more Why overtraining backfires for women as they age How to think about fitness through a longevity-first lens This conversation reframes fitness for women at every stage of life — and offers a smarter, more sustainable way to train.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
