Are you suffering from the Dumb Monkey Syndrome? In this first episode, Aamir Qutub and co-host Davina Montgomery launch the Dumb Monkey Podcast — the show that makes AI for business simple, bold, and practical.

We introduce the concept of Dumb Monkey Syndrome — what happens when leaders fail to evolve with technology — and show how to personalise ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot so they act like real assistants. You’ll also hear why using paid tools matters for privacy, how to avoid AI “hallucinations,” and where to start if you feel left behind.

What’s inside:

• The origin of “Dumb Monkey Syndrome” (Kodak, Nokia, Blockbuster stories) 
• Why leaders must keep asking “dumb” questions
• How to personalise ChatGPT & Copilot with custom instructions
• Why you should pay for AI tools instead of using free versions
• Real examples: automating invoice processing & organising messy files
