INHERITANCE
Power is never accidental. It’s designed, protected, and passed on.
Hosted by Kala Wilson Hampton, PhD, MPA, INHERITANCE is an unflinching look at the systems that shape who holds power and who never gets it. From the boardrooms of Silicon Valley to the estates of America’s most enduring families, each episode unpacks how influence is built, how it survives disruption, and the quiet strategies that keep it in the bloodline.
It’s a study in the architecture of dominance — the decisions, alliances, and narratives that determine what we inherit, and what we leave behind.

Main Street to Wall Street: Building the Systems We Need
What if I told you the systems we rely on—economics, trade, manufacturing, even the way money flows—are failing us? Not because failure is inevitable, but because they were built for a world that no longer exists. Fragility isn’t just a weakness—it’s an invitation to innovate, rebuild, and create systems that are not just stronger but transformative.
In this episode of Main Street to Wall Street, I’m taking you on a journey to the heart of the systems that shape our lives. I’ll uncover the cycles that govern power, the cracks that threaten our progress, and the bold idea that Main Street and Wall Street aren’t enemies—they’re interdependent forces that can fuel one another.
You’ll learn why resilience is the foundation for the future, how I’m turning bold ideas into actionable systems through The Sycamore Fund at Hampton Capital, and why it’s time to stop playing small and start building systems that reflect the best of who we are and what we can become.
This episode is raw, visionary, and unapologetic. It’s a call to action for dreamers, builders, and believers to join me in rewriting the rules. The systems we need don’t exist yet—but they will.
Tune in, and let’s build them together.
