The Building of the Iconic WD-40 Brand and Culture

Picture
​Imagine a company culture where people happily do meaningful work they believe in, alongside supportive, positive, enthusiastic colleagues. Garry Ridge, former CEO of WD-40, did just that and then wrote 'Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It: Learning Moments from an Everyday CEO of a Multi-Billion-Dollar Company' to share exactly how he did it. I’m willing to bet that somewhere in your home, there is a blue and yellow can of WD-40. Garry grew WD-40 from a company worth $300 million to $3.6 billion, all the while maintaining a culture where 97% of employees say they love working at WD-40. Named by Inc. Magazine as one of the world’s top 10 Most Admired CEOs, he served as CEO of WD-40 for 25 years. This is a classic audit for every company owner.

Tough Streets, Bank Robbery & Extreme Ownership

Picture
Jeffrey Morgan isn't your typical coach. He's a life strategist and the 2024 Australian Mindset & Life Coach of the Year. Jeffrey grew up in Eveleigh St, Redfern, known as The Block, a place of hard, tough streets where even the police didn't want to go. Riots, violence, drugs, and theft led to him spending 20 years behind bars for bank robbery. After losing his parents to cancer and his brother and sister to suicide, he made a decision: no more excuses, only extreme ownership. He rebuilt his life from rock bottom and turned it into a 7-figure global business working with the Australian Defence Force, the NRL, elite athletes, government agencies, and top corporate organisations.

What Could You Do If You Had Wild Courage?

Picture
​It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Former Google leader Jenny Wood chased an attractive stranger off the subway, and later married him. That moment forever changed Jenny's life. It took courage - Wild Courage. In her new book, 'Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It', Jenny challenges conventional wisdom about achieving your goals, giving the permission and the mindset to ditch fear and chase after what you want, unapologetically. We discuss how reframing our words can be a bold, empowering, and energising guide to embracing our ambition and pursuing what we want.

Developing Deep Resilience to Face Today's Challenges

Picture
Melli O’Brien wrote ‘Deep Resilience: A Four-Step Journey to Unshakable Inner Strength,’ giving us a step-by-step guide to navigating life’s challenges. The book is for those who might feel overwhelmed by life’s whirlwind pace, crave calm, and seek the strength to build confidence. In 2025, Mindful magazine named Melli one of the most powerful women in the mindfulness movement. Melli's journey has not been easy; she has experienced the loss of two family members and a divorce, and when she lost another family member while running a business, each blow took a toll on her, leading to physical and mental symptoms that resulted in chronic illness. However, this challenging period ultimately brought about significant insights for Melli.

​A Life From the Comanchero & Pentridge to the Corporate Boardroom

Picture
​Jay Malkoun served 10 years for heroin trafficking, was the president of the feared Comancheros motorcycle gang, and in March 2019, a car bomb outside a gym in Athens detonated the Mercedes he was sitting in. It was an explosion heard around the world as global media, law enforcement agencies, and underworld cartels speculated on who had moved to assassinate the former gangster and retired leader of one of the world's most feared and powerful underworld organisations. Here, Jay tells his story. He truly is one of the most fascinating and complex figures that Australia has ever given the underworld.
