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.
