AI Confusion? New Novel Guides CEOs to Contracts

Dumb Monkey Productions

From airport cleaner to tech CEO, the author shares 100+ AI tools and strategies that real businesses are using to win.

Geelong, Australia – March 26, 2025

When Aamir Qutub arrived in Australia as an international student, he cleaned airport floors to make ends meet. A decade later, he leads a multimillion-dollar tech company—and has just authored a business novel that's helping CEOs across industries navigate AI with confidence.

His debut book, "The CEO Who Mocked AI (Until It Made Him Millions)," is an Amazon bestseller that blends real-world outcomes, client-tested AI strategies, and compelling storytelling. It turns AI confusion into a clear, actionable playbook for business growth, automation, and competitive advantage.

At the centre of the novel is Blake Harrington, a once-thriving construction CEO who's watching his business unravel—losing contracts, bleeding cash, and falling behind tech-savvy competitors. That is, until he meets Selene, a mysterious therapist who introduces him to the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence.

"I didn't want to write another how-to manual," says Aamir. "This book is inspired by dozens of client journeys—but told through one fictional character, so readers can experience the learning through a relatable, story-first format."

Selene's role as a therapist—rather than a typical consultant—adds a unique lens to the narrative.

"Business leaders don't just need information—they need clarity. Selene represents what it takes to shift mindset before implementing tech," he explains.

Blake's journey from scepticism to strategic reinvention mirrors the real transformations Aamir has helped lead. The setting—construction, a non-tech industry—is no accident.

"If AI can help a traditional business like construction win $18 million in contracts, it can work anywhere," he says.

Beyond the story, the book delivers:

  • ✅ 100+ ready-to-use AI prompts, case studies, and business frameworks

  • ✅ Tactics to slash costs, automate operations, and win more contracts

  • ✅ Step-by-step guidance to create your first no-code GPT for your business

Early readers say the format has made AI finally feel actionable:

"An MBA case study wrapped in a Netflix-style story." "I've finally found an AI book that doesn't make me feel stupid."
