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.

AI in No Man's Land: Who Owns it In Your Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI is already inside your business, even if nobody “owns” it.
In this episode, board director Mark Edmonds shares what he’s seeing across organisations: CTO says “not me”, CIO says “not me”, and AI adoption stalls while everyone stays busy.
We talk practical AI for business:
- How to create quick wins that prove value
- Why Copilot/Microsoft 365 and Teams note-takers can expose more than you expect
- How to reduce hallucinations with simple verification habits (including asking for sources).
The standout idea is to treat AI like driving: train people, test them, and give them an “AI licence” so usage is safe, consistent, and actually sticks.
Follow the show for more practical AI you can use this week.
