Bonnie Barczykowski offered empowering messages about leadership and supporting women of all ages during a post-run conversation with podcast host Kate Mackz.

Barczykowski, the CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA, joined Mackz on a recent episode of Post Run High. Together, the pair spoke about how Girl Scouts shapes participants in lifelong ways, the most powerful mentorship skills, a life-changing moment in Barczykowski’s life, the diversity of Girl Scouts, the definition of leadership, following your passion, the Girl Scout cookies everyone knows and loves (and why it's about more than just cookies), the legacy Barczykowski wants to leave on the organization, and more.

“Bonnie Barczykowski, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA, sits down with Kate, proud Girl Scouts’ alumni, to have an inspiring conversation about how Girl Scouts instill lifelong lessons, as well as empower young women to lead, dream, and thrive. From nostalgic memories of earning badges to Bonnie’s bold vision for an inclusive future, this episode uncovers how Girl Scouts create transformative moments that ignite girls’ potential — no matter their background or starting point. We dive into Bonnie’s personal journey, from her teaching roots to leading a global movement, and hear Kate reflect on how Girl Scouts sparked her own path. Together, they explore the power of mentorship, diversity and life-changing programs like cookie sales and scholarships. Join us to discover why every girl gets to shine — and how you can be part of their story!”

Mackz debuted the Post Run High podcast in late 2024, following her online series, The Running Interview Show. She said when she introduced the podcast that “it’s a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.”

“The perfect companion to Kate Mackz's popular online series The Running Interview Show, Post Run High captures the feel-good energy and real, unfiltered conversations that flow after a great run. Each episode dives into stories, insights, and candid moments with inspiring guests—from entrepreneurs to well-known public figures. Tune in for conversations that get real when the endorphins kick in.”
