WD-40 is one of the world's best-known brands. You probably keep a can somewhere in your house for unjamming locks and stopping squeaks. The company was founded in San Diego, California in the 1950s and the secret formula used in WD-40 was devised by a team working on missile maintenance in the aerospace industry. Today the company is worth around $3 billion and listed on the stock market in the US. But it is run by a Brit, Steve Brass, who speaks to Dougal Shaw about the story behind the company, why it is important not to get distracted from your core product and why Sir Alex Ferguson is his ultimate role model...

He shares a lighthearted exchange with KFI's Heather Brooker, who proudly recounts her DIY fix of a broken toilet handle—before the conversation turns humorous with stories about bidets. Dean then takes his first caller, Gabriel, who manages apartments with aluminum windows that don't slide properly. Dean explains why WD-40 isn't the best solution and recommends a product designed specifically for aluminum tracks, along with advice on maintenance. The hour closes with another call about air return systems in desert condos, where Dean warns against improper venting that pulls hot attic air into the AC and explains the right way to insulate or condition attic spaces.
SHOW NOTES: Alright, home improvement enthusiasts, welcome back to the Money Pit! We're here to lend a hand with all your indoor and outdoor projects, because remember: Inside, outside, we're on your side! Here are some of the key themes we'll be talking about today, plus solutions we offer for callers' questions: - Cleaning Gutters: Before autumn leaves begin to fall, we're going to share simple steps and smart tools to help you clean and maintain your gutters the safe and easy way, because clogged gutters can lead to major water damage. - Roof Care: We'll tell you how you can catch roof problems early with a free professional inspection from Roof Maxx, the company that restores aging roofs and saves homeowners up to 80% over replacement. - Reducing Clutter: We'll also offer tips on getting organized at home for the fall season, helping you reclaim cluttered spaces like entryways and mudrooms before the school and holiday craziness takes over. - Deep Cleaning Tips: And finally, we'll discuss fall deep cleaning strategies to refresh your home in areas often skipped during summer, like baseboards, ceiling fans, and inside appliances. Q & A: - Beverly in Ohio called about black marks on her white vinyl fence. We suggest trying a light abrasive like a green Scotch pad first, or for solvent-based marks like tar, a product like WD-40 to lift them off. - Andrew in Wisconsin is dealing with standing water in his backyard that's causing basement wall penetration. We advise implementing a total water management system, including building a French drain, ensuring gutters are properly sized, and downspouts to direct water 4 to 6 feet away from the house. - Anna in South Dakota recently had a hollow tree with a large carpenter ant nest removed and is concerned about infestation. We reassure her that carpenter ants prefer dead or decaying wood and are not typically motivated to infest sound houses, so she's not at an increased risk. - Louise called in about salt mineral deposits leaking through the outside of her brick mailbox. We suggest cleaning the deposits with a white vinegar and water solution, then applying a vapor-permeable silicone-based masonry sealer to prevent their return. - Debbie from Great Falls, Montana, asked about preparing and painting over metal siding. We advise a thorough cleaning with a pressure washer, ensuring the siding is completely dry, and then using an oil-based bonding primer with a scratch test before applying the topcoat, staying within the same brand family for best adhesion.

This episode unwraps two case studies: the remarkable journey of WD-40, guided by a CEO whose unwavering dedication to employee well-being has not only minimized incidents but also fueled innovation and profitability.

Joined by Randy Klatt, former director of Loss Control at MEMIC, who now sits on the Advisory Board for the Foundation for Aviation Safety - we'll analyze how principles of strong safety leadership, from transparent communication to empowering frontline workers, can either elevate a company to new heights or bring it to its knees.

Jeff Lindeman, Chief People, Culture & Capability Officer at WD-40, joins the podcast to unpack the dual challenge every modern leader faces leading themselves and leading through change. Through personal reflection, bold transparency, and a people-first mindset, Jeff reveals how introversion, vulnerability, and authenticity can become surprising superpowers in leadership. In this deep-dive conversation, Jeff and Lee examine how seemingly small moments, like asking for time off or handling disappointment, can become pivotal points of leadership. Jeff walks us through lessons learned from his early career, how he doubled performance by showing respect, and how WD-40 cultivates 94% employee engagement in a world where the average is just 23%. From embracing AI with curiosity instead of fear to fostering trust through shared accountability, Jeff shows us that unleashing leaders isn't about having all the answers—it's about asking the right questions and showing up with intentional presence.

S&P Futures are moderately higher this morning with tariff developments and pending trade deal in focus. President Trump sent out tariff letter yesterday, neither India nor the E.U. received letters. As a result, markets are expecting trade deals to be announced this week with India and the E.U. No major economic releases are due out today. Tech stocks are displaying positive action in the pre-market. On the earning front, Delta Air Lines, Conagra Brands, Levi Strauss, Simply Good Foods, PriceSmart, AZZ Inc., and WD-40 are expected to release this week.
On a Tuesday Drive, Josh reacts to Jon Scheyer's first comments since Duke's Final Four collapse, explains how football is kinda back, WD goes to the movies for a double feature to review both "Spotlight" and "Say Anything", and David Glenn, of the NC Sports Network, joins the show to tell whether or not NCAA Tournament expansion is a bad thing for the sport and what the criteria should be for someone like Cooper Flagg to get his jersey retired in the era of "one and done".
S&P Futures are displaying modest weakness this morning as markets await details from the White House, where President Trump is expected to send out tariff letters to numerous countries today. The focus is on which countries will receive these notifications and what specific tariff rates will be imposed, as the administration's 90-day pause on higher tariffs expires this week. President Trump will be hosting a state dinner tonight for Israel's Prime Minster this evening. Tesla shares are lower after Elon Musk said he had created a new political party. No major economic releases are due out today. On the earning front, Delta Air Lines, Conagra Brands, Levi Strauss, Simply Good Foods, PriceSmart, AZZ Inc., and WD-40 are expected to release this week.
Garry Ridge, Chairman Emeritus at WD-40 Company, a USA Today bestselling author, a recognized culture shifting keynote speaker, founder of The Learning Moment, and The Culture Coach, joins me on this episode. Known affectionately as “The Dean of Dumbassery,” Garry is known for helping leaders create workspaces where people feel valued and inspired.
This past Sunday we had a little fun with some highly scientific Dad Stats:100% of dads think they're hilarious.94% of dads believe duct tape and WD-40 can fix anything.87% of dads are confident they're the “cool parent.”And dads everywhere continue to wage war on lights left on and doors left open with classic lines like: “I'm not paying to heat the whole neighborhood!”We celebrated some amazing fathers—from the youngest and oldest to the one with the most kids. It was beautiful. But beyond the laughs and lawn-mowing glory, we leaned into a powerful truth.There's a concept in physics called the Two-Body Problem—it's about how two objects (like planets or stars) interact with each other through gravity. Under the right conditions, they don't crash or drift apart—they move in beautiful, synchronized orbit.We explored how God and humanity are like those two bodies.We were created for a perfect orbit with our Creator. But sin disrupted that alignment. Our relationship with God was fractured—like two celestial bodies drifting apart.But then Jesus taught us to pray, starting with two words:“Our Father.”Not “Judge.” Not “Creator.” Not “The Distant One.”But Father. Abba.These two words reoriented the cosmos of our hearts. They were more than a phrase—they were the gravitational force that brought God and humanity back into relationship.When God becomes Our Father:We find our identity as sons and daughtersWe belong to a family, not just solo faithWe begin to heal, even if “father” has meant pain beforeIf you missed the message, find a moment to listen—it might be the reminder your heart needs.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
