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.

How I Booked a Holiday by Chatting to AI (2025 Finale)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the final episode of 2025, we reflect on the moment AI stopped being a novelty and quietly became part of everyday life. Amir shares how he booked an entire family holiday — flights, hotel, seats and itinerary — without opening Booking.com or Skyscanner, simply by chatting to ChatGPT like a travel agent who’d already been there.
We unpack why conversational, voice-first AI beat typing and searching this year, especially for busy leaders. From smarter travel decisions and gift buying to packing, productivity and turning emotional rants into professional emails, this episode captures what artificial intelligence in business actually looked like in 2025.
Thank you for listening, sharing and supporting the Dumb Monkey Podcast this year. We’re signing off for a break and looking forward to coming back refreshed — and ready for what 2026 brings.
