This conversation talks about Danny and WIllson’s journey into the car world. We talk about their lives before cars, and how a mix of burnout and taking risks ultimately led them to Kodawari Collective.

From buying a manual Miata with absolutely no experience driving a manual car, to travelling the world and visiting SEMA.

This conversation truly leans into what it means to take a risk, and follow your passion.

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.
