SHOW / EPISODE

Wallis Mills helps us stay modern in our own way, instead of following the herd

Season 1 | Episode 6
53m | Oct 27, 2025

Wallis Mills—Founder & Principal Advisor at Modern Enterprise—helps C-suites separate real modernity from trend-chasing. Drawing on executive roles at AMD and NVIDIA, she advises on AI readiness, go-to-market, and narrative strategy that builds durable advantage instead of “shiny object syndrome."

Wallis shares insights on:

  • Why she left her previous roles to build an independent strategic studio
  • Lessons from big-chip playbooks (AMD, NVIDIA): strategies worth emulating, as well as common missteps to avoid
  • How and why she identifies an organization's identity and direction before strategies and tactics
  • Differentiating helpful collective wisdom from unhelpful groupthink when it comes to the "new shiny thing" like AI


Presented by Elynndí, and hosted by Aaron Barlin. See elynndi.com to learn how we "think like a teacher" to create the show.
