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.

Busting Myths on Your Way to Personal Wealth

Picture
Garrett Gunderson is a financial myth-buster, a prolific author, and a lifelong entrepreneur. He's built a career helping people keep more of their money. The author of 'What Would the Rockefellers Do?' and his more recent book, 'Killing Sacred Cows 2.0: Crush Money Myths & Live Your Richest Life', Garrett is a strong advocate for building wealth through cash flow, not sacrifice. If you’ve ever felt like the financial game was rigged, Garrett is the guy who shows you how to flip the script. Garrett believes "Prosperity is attained not by the pursuit of money but by creating value for others"... that's also the mission for The Mojo Sessions.

Why We Hate Ourselves

Picture
​Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Blaise Aguirre is the author of 'I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You'. Recognised for his extensive work in treating mood and personality disorders in adolescents, Aguirre addresses the often-ignored issue of self-hatred, explaining why common practices of "self-care" or "self-love" often fall short when self-hatred becomes part of someone's identity. Former guests Dr. Abbie Marono and Melli O'Brien shared their own stories of self-loathing. This conversation may sound heavy, but I can assure you, stay with me—it's a fascinating conversation that we can all learn from.

​Reading People in High-Pressure Environments 

Picture
Jeffrey Sanow, a former senior intelligence officer with the CIA, spent decades navigating high-pressure environments where reading people wasn’t just a skill—it was a matter of survival. How do you make decisions when the stakes couldn’t be higher? Starting as a Peace Corps volunteer, followed by over two decades of service in the Central Intelligence Agency, Jeffrey reveals what years of fieldwork taught him about influence, persuasion, and the power of truly understanding others. Whether you're leading a team, negotiating a deal, or simply seeking to communicate more effectively, these insights will transform the way you approach every conversation. ​
