We’re officially relaunching the Kodacast, and it only felt right to kick things off with Matt from Morning Meets.

After a full season of collaboration—track days, workshops, cruises, and our secret shoot—we sat down to reflect on how far both communities have come and where we’re headed next. This episode goes deeper than event recaps. It’s about what it actually takes to build something meaningful in the automotive world.

Matt shares his journey from UK car culture to launching Morning Meets in the GTA, the leap of going full-time, introducing a paid membership model, and scaling from 15 to 50 events in a single season. We talk about risk, responsibility, and the pressure that comes with turning passion into profession—from putting down a deposit on a 4C with $400 in the bank to hosting multi-day tours and track days for 30+ first-timers.
