This conversation takes us on Matt’s journey into building Morning Meets, from his early relationship with cars, to the leap of faith it took to commit to this path, and the responsibility that came with it.We talk through how Morning Meets evolved from an idea into a real community: the decisions that filtered for the right people, the risks that didn’t make sense on paper, and the quiet pressure of realizing that something born from passion had turned into something others trusted.Along the way, the conversation naturally weaves into Kodawari Collective’s own journey, how our paths crossed, why the collaboration between our communities worked so seamlessly, and how shared values around intention, growth, and care became the foundation for everything we’ve built together.This conversation is a reflection on what it actually takes to build something meaningful — and the growth, discomfort, gratitude, and fun you have along the way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow the Kodacast Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1DH7yc5...Follow Kodawari Collective on Instagram:    / kodawaricollective  Follow Kodawari Collective on Youtube:    / @kodawaricollective  Follow Matt on Instagram:   / matt.collyer  Follow MorningMeets on Instagram:   / morningmeets  https://www.morningmeets.ca/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Outro Music: Chillpeach - Purple Produced & edited by:   / kodacast

We’ve been having a lot more reunions on the show and this one was definitely long overdue. The last time we had Jay Hoang on the podcast he was in the beginning stages of JToons and we were at the beginning stages of the podcast. Now after 2 colouring books, 500+ car commissions and a recent apparel drop, he found time to sit down with us again and talk about his newest passion project. Check out this podcast on YouTube: HERE  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow Jay in IG: @jtoons & @jayhoang~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow & Support Kodawari ↴Instagram: @kodawaricollective & @kodacast Website and merch store: https://www.kodawaricollective.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Music: Jobii - PizzazzProduced & edited by: @koda_sound

As another year passes, Nau does another solo episode to reflect on everything Kodawari has done in 2021. From all kinds of content creation for YouTube, Instagram, finding our niche with diecast sales, and organizing car meets, all while running a detailing shop and staying consistent with the KodaCast. None of this was easy to do, but with each mistake comes a lesson learned.  Watching team members come and go and really settling into our roles at Kodawari has been the biggest take away - knowing all this and going into 2022 with a clearer vision, we can't wait to show you everything we have planned! Check out this podcast on YouTube: HERE  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow & Support Kodawari ↴Instagram: @kodawaricollective & @kodacast Website and merch store: https://www.kodawaricollective.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Music: Jobii - PizzazzProduced & edited by: @koda_sound

Sitting down with our next guest was a real treat. As a long time follower, Nau watched Matt from his YouTube beginnings as a guy detailing his car, while obsessing and testing products on the detailing market. Little did we know, the video journalling was a form of therapy that turned into Obsessed Garage. Fast forward to 2019 when Kodawari found a commercial space, the first thing we did was contact Matt and his team to help us design the shop and fill it with tools of the trade. A big topic that Matt emphasizes is the importance of the garage space in a house and why, when buying a house, this is something to really consider, (seeing that it’s usually one of the biggest spaces in the house) and really highlighting niche products that you would want for your space.We also dive into real, personal stories about growing up in a household with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and having the humility to work hard at any job; This mindset would echo the work Matt does today, as he puts pressure on himself to oversee the well-being of his team, while continually building his business and watching his mental health - he reveals how this weight of responsibility has lead him to sit shotgun for awhile. Check out this podcast on YouTube: HERE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow Matt in IG: @obsessedgarage  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Follow & Support Kodawari ↴Instagram: @kodawaricollective & @kodacast Website and merch store: https://www.kodawaricollective.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Music: Jobii - PizzazzProduced & edited by: @koda_sound
