In this special in-person episode of Beyond the Grid, host Beth Rattner (fueled by Austin BBQ) sits down with avid welder and Senior Director of Infrastructure Projects at Endeavor, Wes "MacGyver” Short, to discuss one of the industry's biggest challenges: grid stability in the age of exponential AI growth.
Wes details his career-long focus on the big picture and shares strategies that help him and his teams design holistic infrastructure solutions that make a positive impact.
Beth and Wes discuss lessons learned from the Spain blackout earlier this year and the grid stability issues that keep Wes up at night. He shares how automation, AI, and systems like Endeavor's TurboCell play a significant role in building smarter, more resilient grids.
You'll hear Wes' vision for data centers as the heart of thriving communities, shaping the next generation of leaders, and what to do when you lose your power poles. He also answers the question everyone is asking: Are we in an AI bubble?
Get yourself some brisket and slaw, hit play, and enjoy. This episode has all the fixins!
