Nap Stack Podcast
The AI Podcast for Business Leaders
Five minutes. One idea. Something to bring to your next meeting.
AI has landed on the agenda. The vendor demos look impressive. The internal pressure is real. And most of the people in the room have a competing interest in how you decide.
Nap Stack is a short-form podcast for senior leaders who need a clearer picture — without sitting through another hour-long webinar. Five minutes. One idea. New episodes every week on Spotify.
Each episode gives you:
- A sharper question to ask before your next vendor conversation
- A gut-check on whether your organisation is actually ready for AI
- The kind of context your team assumes you already have
About the host
Monica Ly is co-founder of EdgeRed, an Australian data and AI consultancy with over a decade of delivery experience across scale-ups to ASX200 companies. She has led data platform transformations, embedded as fractional leader inside major organisations, and sat in enough vendor meetings to know what the pitch leaves out.
Nap Stack started on maternity leave — recorded during nap times. It’s built around a simple idea: the most useful things can be said in five minutes, which is probably all her audience has anyway.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Nap Stack for?
Nap Stack is for senior leaders — GMs, CEOs, heads of function, and non-executive directors — who are accountable for AI decisions but don’t have a technical background. If AI has landed on your agenda and you’re not sure who to trust in the room, this show is for you.
How long are Nap Stack episodes?

What does Nap Stack cover?
Nap Stack covers the things vendors don’t tell you — data readiness, AI project failure, governance, and how to ask better questions before you sign anything. The central thesis: most AI projects fail not because the technology is wrong, but because the organisation wasn’t ready for it.
Is Nap Stack an Australian podcast?
Yes. Nap Stack is hosted by Monica Ly, co-founder of EdgeRed, based in Sydney, Australia. The examples and context are drawn from over a decade of delivery experience with Australian organisations across scale-ups to ASX200 companies.
