All Too Human
Some ideas change the way we see the world. Others change the way we see ourselves.
All Too Human is a podcast about both.
Each episode explores behavior, leadership, organizations, technology, curiosity, and the patterns quietly shaping our lives. Rather than chasing headlines, we explore the ideas that continue to matter long after the news cycle has moved on.
Hosted by Dr. Kala Wilson Hampton, founder of EVOLVRS, this is a podcast for the endlessly curious.

Deep Seat: Who Gets the Next Watt? DOE Says Blackouts Could Jump 100× by 2030 (10/7/25)

— we’re digging.
It’s a 98° night, your kid’s Chromebook is at 6%, your mom’s CPAP is humming, and across town a million-sq-ft server hall is sipping from the same grid. Who gets the next watt—your block, the NICU, or the data center?
Today, we go inside Memphis, where xAI’s Colossus and Colossus 2 run on “temporary” gas turbines while the city races to build substations and a wastewater plant. We connect the dots to America’s blackout history (’65, ’77, ’03, Texas ’21) and a new DOE warning that outage hours could jump 100× by 2030 without more firm power. Then we open your closet: fast fashion’s water, waste, and microplastics are the same “instant everything” problem showing up on your light bill.
Receipts. Clear asks for utilities, brands, schools, and us. Next week: the triangle shaping daily life—AI × data centers × education—what kids learn, who pays the bill, and where your data actually lives.
See you tomorrow!
