WD-40, Gorilla Glue and a book about leadership by Garry Ridge

I don’t normally interview business leaders. There are plenty of podcasts that do.

But…

I was introduced to Garry Ridge by a mutual friend who said I’d love reading his new book—Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It. I was intrigued, read the book and could hardly wait to talk with Garry.

It did not hurt that Garry had served as CEO of the WD-40 Company for 25 and made it a household brand. I mean everyone knows WD-40 now. I also learned that he served on the board of Gorilla Glue.

Why am I so impressed by this?

I think you all know that I’m a member of Sisters on the Fly, the largest women’s group in the U.S. and Canada focusing on camping, fishing, riding horses, buying vintage trailers, and other outdoor activities. There are more than 26,000 members. And NONE of us (truly) leaves home without a good supply of WD-40, Gorilla Glue and bailing wire.

Forbes says: The book is part leadership playbook, part personal reflection, and all heart.  And I agree. Totally.
