I'm Just Gerry - Like an Ant on a Blueberry Pie (Building a Forever Company the Price Way)

"For entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders seeking affirmation that there are no shortcuts on the path to finding success in business." ~ Rob Wozny

Gerry Price (pictured with Rob Wozny) grew Price Industries into a prairie powerhouse, expanding successfully from Canada into the United States and establishing a presence with operations around the world. Taking the company with its sales of $30 million to over $1 billion was not easy, but driven by innovation and a desire to serve others, Gerry Price survived remarkable setbacks to find a way. I'm Just Gerry tells the story and chronicles the timeline of Price Industries' ascension from the hinterland to the promised land, as it strives to become a forever company, guided by the 13 Tenets that make up the Price Way. All net proceeds from book sales of I'm Just Gerry will flow directly to the Price Family Foundation.

Advance praise for I'm Just Gerry...

Dayna Spiring, President & CEO Economic Development Winnipeg

“I’m Just Gerry tells an amazing story of doing business the right way… The Price Way. Gerry’s story is a gift to any leader who wants to find and follow a principled path to success while leaving a positive legacy. For those that want to build a lasting enterprise and are prepared to think long-term and seriously out-serve and outlast the competition, the recipe and lessons are clear and there to follow in I’m Just Gerry.”

Paul Soubry, President and Chief Executive Officer NFI Group Inc. (New Flyer Industries)

“I’m Just Gerry is as honest, sincere, and transparent a book as they come, just like Gerry is. Price is an amazing business with an incredible history having evolved over the years with purpose and vision, commitment to employees and customers, and plain old fashioned hard work. There is lots to be learned here from a very special leader and his company.”

Mark J. Chipman, Executive Chairman and Governor Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club

“Gerry is one of those rare individuals whose incredible vision and business acumen are only eclipsed by the size of his heart and the depth of his compassion for those who need a hand up. A brilliant leader and one of the most humble and generous human beings I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. His recipes for business and life are laid out clearly in I'm Just Gerry.”

Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor University of Manitoba

“Very few people are awarded both an Honorary Degree and a Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Manitoba, but Gerry Price has been because he is, in a word, exceptional. He is a gifted engineer and brilliant entrepreneur whose primary concern always seems to be the wellness of others. The University of Manitoba can easily point to our engineering faculty that bears his name to show his impact—he does so much to build communities and create a better future. If you’re looking for someone to emulate or learn from, I’d say just start with Gerry. I am thrilled to see Gerry’s story and The Price Way captured and preserved through this book—the stories and lessons shared will indeed serve as a valuable resource and inspiration for many generations to come.”

Mike Shea, President and CEO Tom Barrow Company

“Gerry’s vision for Price has always been to be number one. He has invested in that vision through good times and doubled down during bad times. He advocates that you must build an adequate foundation to grow. I took Gerry’s philosophy to heart when we bought the Tom Barrow business in 2015. And it worked! I wish all of our supplier partners had this vision and commitment. I encourage you to read this book and learn from one of the best.”

Paul Mahon, President and CEO Canada Life & Great-West Lifeco

“People who make a real difference in our world can take many forms—those who quietly contribute, those who role up their sleeves and help, and those who take the lead to forge the path forward. Gerry is one of those exceptional individuals who has made a difference in our world in all three ways. He and his family selflessly give back, he leans in when called on to help, and in business and community he leads with vision, passion, and conviction.”
