I had the honor today of interviewing Garry Ridge, the legendary leader behind the iconic WD-40 Company brand. This interview was a dream come true, as WD-40 has been part of my life since I was a kid—first learning to lubricate my bike chain (I thought it made me faster! Haha 🚲).
Garry has taken WD-40 from a well-loved product to a household name, built on the pillars of trust, consistency, and culture. It’s not just about a formula; it’s about the blue and yellow can, the red top, and the incredible culture Garry and his team have fostered over the years.
Thank you, Garry Ridge, for your time, wisdom, and the incredible insights you shared. It was an absolute honor to hear firsthand about your journey with WD-40. Your dedication to building a culture rooted in trust and consistency, along with your innovative approach to leadership, is truly inspiring. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from your experiences and share them with our audience. Thank you for your contributions and for leading with such integrity and passion!
A huge thanks to Chester Elton for making this connection—an absolute thought leader in his own right, who shares Garry’s passion for empowering people and building strong cultures. 🙏
