The Dumb Monkey Show - Simplifying AI for business leaders

The Dumb Monkey Show is your unapologetically candid AI-in-business podcast for leaders who want results, not hype.

Hosted by Aamir Qutub—CEO, AI strategist, and bestselling author—and Davina Montgomery—communications pro at Deakin’s Applied AI Institute—this show cuts through the jargon to bring you real stories, practical frameworks, and witty banter.

From boardroom strategy to frontline operations, we unpack how artificial intelligence is reshaping business, the pitfalls to avoid, and the bananas you should grab along the way. No tech-splaining. No fluff. Just smart, clear conversations that make AI useful, usable, and maybe even a little fun. 🐵🍌

New episodes every week. Whether you’re a CEO, founder, or curious leader, you’ll leave with ideas you can use today—and a smile you didn’t see coming.
