Been around Matt and OG a few times over the last year or so and the thing that I'll always remember is walking up to Matt at the most recent open house and without even any sort of "remember me?" moment he asked me how my G80 was. I was shocked he remembered me after an entire year of running a business and meeting new people all the time! Keep up the chase Matt! Canada is just the beginning!
Remember that feeling........Keep those open doors at OG to allow people to stop by. I am sure there are LOTS of people who come by OGHQ who have the same reaction to meeting you and the crew that you had there. Love it and keep being you.
That smile on your face at 34:00 says it all. Pure joy. Glad you got to visit your "happy place" Matt. We all need those moments in life from time to time. Good for the soul.
It's super inspiring to watch this whole process matt. I'm a younger person who has many angsty & anxiety ridden feelings which present in an oddly parallel fashion compared to your experiences. You inspire me to stay the course and do what feels right. I appreciate your content and openness more than you will ever know
based on the title this was not what I was expecting... It takes a lot for someone to open up about their deepest, darkest fears, so thank you for sharing. I've never heard of that TV show, but it really made me smile to see how happy you and your family were to go where they film and to meet a cast member.
I experienced the same feeling when my wife reached out to Michele when we were in Helen. We met the Moreman family and toured the OG Helen house. Matt's a cool guy but I must say, Michele is one of the nicest and most gracious people we have met. Great family!
Thanks for sharing, Matt. I have been following along since 2015 and it has been inspiring watching you and OG grow over the years. I wish you and the team nothing but success for this exciting new chapter
Great to see you had a very good experience in Alberta and that it speaks to your passion. Looking forward to seeing OG growing with a new headquarter here in Calgary. Setting up in Calgary makes perfect logistic sense compared to the East. Much cheaper property prices, much lower taxes and simply much cheaper to run a business due to less red tape and less regulations especially for small businesses. Your dollar will simply go so much further and your business will grow faster because of reinvestment of the savings back into the business.
Matt, my father was the operational manager for the fork lift division of Toyota, and when he would do interviews he would walk out with the interviewe and look at their car and see if they Took care of their car decently and that was part of his process if he would hire the person, he was also able to get any Toyota Lexus product he wanted I asked him one day I said Pop why don’t you order a Lexus you deserve it his response was I don’t wanna show up to clients driving a car like that. He loved his Avalon he order one every two years same color diamond white pearl.
It's great to see Matt to really injoying himself and the family here in Canada! It's great to have you Matt, Michelle and family, glad to see you calm and feeling great bud. 👍Are family supports you fella's!!
I've been a fan of yours for awhile. My girls love Heartland and we live about an hour south in Lethbridge. We have one of the most beautiful provinces in Canada. Where the prairies meet the Rockies.
Thanks for sharing Matt, I think a lot of us can relate. For me personally, watching your videos helps me to relax and kind of disconnect. Thanks for that.
Very happy for you Matt. Love seeing you expanding to Canada and hopefully one day to the UK too. Also it’s very satisfying seeing how geeked out you get over heartland! Love it
Thanks Matt! That was an awesome video! Very honest, humble, and genuine! Hats off to you for sharing your story, I’m glad your passion has gotten you this far and appreciate you sharing it! Cheers!
You’ve built an amazing business chasing products (to borrow a phrase of yours) Matt! You won’t regret chasing happiness and following your passion up north. Wish you nothing but the best!
Great to hear you"re coming to Calgary or surrounding area with Obsessed Garage international. This town is very car crazy with lots of oil money to buy these toys. I personally will be in the market for setting up my new garage with swisstrax flooring and some of your car wash solutions.
I felt that way meeting John (LHT Garage) at Tail of the Dragon. I have a S2000 and am a big fan of his channel. I found you through his channel. My family, my life, my home is blessed by you and your passions and products. We have a Speed Queen TC5. Wife LOVES the Speed Queen! I could list a dozen things or more in my life through thoughts, attitudes, and products I've purchased from your store that are better because of you and this channel. Needless to say when I'm people and say, "Well, Matt on his channel....", they just roll their eyes. Meh, oh well. Just wanted to say I'm a fan and you're inspiring. Go get em! Kick some ass! You da man!!
Man, seeing the emotional transparency is inspiring. I also deal with a lot of anxiety/overthinking/ocd lunacy and hope to be able to “smell the roses” one day 🏁
We have TOO much in common Matt. Unfortunately for me...I am still working on the positives even though I know they are there. It does help in some weird way to watch someone as successful as yourself. Thanks for sharing your "life" with us. It helps some of us more than you probably know. BTW, I just started the Heartland series tonight. On episode 3. Wish you the best!
Great video Matt ! I am glad you're doing better and it seems you have grip on it so God Bless. It is great that you're passionate about many things and if a show does it then so be it. I get inspired by alot of shows I watch especially the scenic ones so I get it. Keep doing what you're doing as it seems to be working for you. I appreciate how real you're and all the great content that you provide us. All the best !!! Tom
I had my first vasovagal shock right before ingrown nail surgery a couple of years back. Ended up fainting and bruising my forehead from falling from the chair. The doc said she’ll have to put me on meds before I come for the other foot haha. Glad to see Canada’s project is finally starting
My mom watched it all. I watched a bunch of episodes with her when I was visiting. It's not that bad. :) Yes- that's definitely how I felt when I was there at OG. It's a cool feeling!
Thanks so much for sharing Matt. I can relate to so much of what you said in the intro - have a similar situation re a tv show I just have in the background constantly - it's almost like having background music I've watched it that much - but helps me unwind, and is conforting. Thanks again for sharing, takes ticker to put this out there. Can't wait for this new venture to be just as successful as everything else you've done with OG.
If you do end up building in Alberta reach out to Danielle Smith's office and see if she will come out. She is the Premier of Alberta and would most likely come out to talk about the province. I believe she lives in High River as well. Also if you come back with the family maybe do a day trip to Drumheller. Its got the dinosaur museum which is pretty cool.
Next time, come in July when it is the Calgary stampede, something to see. Also, before the you know what, there was a yearly car show in Calgary, usually around March. Next time they have it and you are settled, maybe an OG booth?
Glad You took the trip up North !! too bad there are so many forest fires right now! There are 2 very popular detailing products shops in Alberta by the way, one in Calgary is Carzilla and the other in Edmonton has similar name, Auto Obsessed , Happy You Guys had Fun ,,,,, and continue trusting Your gut instinct !! ;-)
You came to Alberta at a bad time. Most of the province was on fire. But it is beautiful out here. I’m from London ont. But the mountains and the views are amazing. Lake Louise and morraine lake are beautiful also.
I hope you open a storefront, not a lot of great places to get this type of gear nearby and having a detailing place close would be awesome! I think you will do really well here.
What we will have is much better than a store front. Anyone that comes by will have full access to the warehouse getting toured around by our people there. It will be highly likely that they employees there will be enthusiasts just like we are here in FL.
@@ObsessedGarage Sign me up for a tour! I'm a detailing enthusiast and do all my work on my vehicles. might even be interested in a side hustle job. Welcome to Calgary solid choice! maybe get TJ and Adam to come for the grand opening lol!
I already work with Carzilla. They are great people. We would just work together more often. Carzilla has a very different business than me, so we wouldn't be in competition on much.
You enjoy simple peace , the down side is solitude… you get more peace being non obligated.. you’re the man in the mountain like rip van winkle 💪🏽 I’m the same mentally I’m in simple land one spoon one cup 😂 kinda life at this age … society became almost over complicated for such a simple existence … enjoy
Hey buddy, this is definitely unsolicited advice and a polarizing topic, but you should research psilocybin and consider it as an alternative way to gain an perspective into these life questions you have 🤙 I’d be glad to share a paper I wrote in school on the topic if you’re interested
I've said this hundreds of times, but I'm going to say it again. Keep your mouth shut about other people's appearance. It's going to get you into real trouble that you may not be able to get yourself out of in the future.
Matt, have you looked into trying the carnivore diet? Beef, bacon, butter and eggs. Or lion diet. Jordan Peterson said it completely cured his anxiety problems. Also its crazy how it helped his daughter. Maybe a 30 day trail? Lots of videos on YT from different Drs. Just a suggestion, but man wouldn't it be cool if it got you back behind the wheel with no worries. A ribeye a day can't be too bad.
Been around Matt and OG a few times over the last year or so and the thing that I'll always remember is walking up to Matt at the most recent open house and without even any sort of "remember me?" moment he asked me how my G80 was. I was shocked he remembered me after an entire year of running a business and meeting new people all the time! Keep up the chase Matt! Canada is just the beginning!
Ha, ha... One of my major problem is remembering too much. It's a blessing and a curse. I'm terrible with names, but great with faces and cars.
This make me emotionally happy to see Matt out here living his dream!
seeing people get embarrassed/bashful cause they are so happy is really nice to watch...
Remember that feeling........Keep those open doors at OG to allow people to stop by. I am sure there are LOTS of people who come by OGHQ who have the same reaction to meeting you and the crew that you had there. Love it and keep being you.
100%. It will definitely be open to anyone that wants to come by!
I agree. And the crew he's assembled all seem very welcoming! Props.

It was good to see Matt smiling towards the end of the video!
I experienced the same feeling when my wife reached out to Michele when we were in Helen. We met the Moreman family and toured the OG Helen house. Matt's a cool guy but I must say, Michele is one of the nicest and most gracious people we have met. Great family!
She definitely seams like a "people person" that many of us lack! So kind!

This is amazing! I live in South Calgary, I've been watching you for ages. So so cool to see you whipping around our back roads!

Your channel is to me what Heartland is to you..I pray one day I could meet you. Such a blessing!
Great for you Matt, thank you for sharing, been battling anxiety for the past couple of years, it really spikes under stressful times.
It's great to see Matt to really injoying himself and the family here in Canada! It's great to have you Matt, Michelle and family, glad to see you calm and feeling great bud. 👍Are family supports you fella's!!
I'm pretty sure this is the first "vacation" where I've been fully present since my early 20s.
I've been a fan of yours for awhile. My girls love Heartland and we live about an hour south in Lethbridge. We have one of the most beautiful provinces in Canada. Where the prairies meet the Rockies.
Enjoyed watching your video at Heartland…Just finished watching season 16. Great family show! Thanks for recommending.
Thanks for sharing Matt, I think a lot of us can relate. For me personally, watching your videos helps me to relax and kind of disconnect. Thanks for that.

Can't wait until OG Canada is set up. Looking forward to picking up my orders in person! OG putting calgary on the map haha
You’re not alone Matt i’ve watched every season of heartland great show. 👍

Matty is smiling at the dinner table like a little girl that has the giggles.. true fan geeking out

Makes sense to me. Especially if it’s not all about money and more about your overall comfort and happiness. Money ain’t everything in life
Thanks so much for sharing Matt.

I was really surprised at how much nervousness I had when I was there.
Thanks for sharing your story! Wishing the best for you and family!
This is awesome! I’m in Calgary so hopefully see you soon!
This was great! And again, you are the one who got me hooked on Heartland :)
Gods Country!
We can’t wait for Obsessed garage in Calgary! Love it Matt and what a great story💯
This is great, more guys should talk about their life struggles. I've had my fair share of ups and downs
If you do end up building in Alberta reach out to Danielle Smith's office and see if she will come out. She is the Premier of Alberta and would most likely come out to talk about the province. I believe she lives in High River as well.
Also if you come back with the family maybe do a day trip to Drumheller. Its got the dinosaur museum which is pretty cool.
This is epic! Great video! Very emotionally happy. Best thoughts to you and your awesome family!
Extremely wholesome.
Next time, come in July when it is the Calgary stampede, something to see. Also, before the you know what, there was a yearly car show in Calgary, usually around March. Next time they have it and you are settled, maybe an OG booth?
Matt, i can completely relate to heartland the way you do. Its a easy show to watch and the views are amazing. No need to explain yourself haha.
I can’t wait till the launch. I have a wedding to pay for but I’m still setting aside a G to spend at OG Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Glad You took the trip up North !! too bad there are so many forest fires right now!

You came to Alberta at a bad time. Most of the province was on fire. But it is beautiful out here. I’m from London ont. But the mountains and the views are amazing. Lake Louise and morraine lake are beautiful also.
I was really hoping you were coming to Toronto. But I get why you chose Calgary. OG will flourish in Canada.
You are a brave man, Matt. To post such difficult to speak about topic. One that is personal to you. Love you for it man (no homo).
Braveheart is the movie that brings me back. Freedom!!!!
Just ran a marathon in Banff. Welcome to Calgary, Alberta! Province with the lowest taxes!
Ohhhh man , I’m definitely gonna buy from you if in Alberta. Less tax too
I hope you open a storefront, not a lot of great places to get this type of gear nearby and having a detailing place close would be awesome! I think you will do really well here.
What we will have is much better than a store front. Anyone that comes by will have full access to the warehouse getting toured around by our people there. It will be highly likely that they employees there will be enthusiasts just like we are here in FL.
@@ObsessedGarage Sign me up for a tour! I'm a detailing enthusiast and do all my work on my vehicles. might even be interested in a side hustle job. Welcome to Calgary solid choice! maybe get TJ and Adam to come for the grand opening lol!
If you built it we will come! 🇨🇦
Calgary is a great choice. When you're back, let's grab some lunch.
Love Calgary! Greetings from a calgarian
Matt done went to 🇨🇦 and found the 🍄. Great video bro 💪🏼
It would of been super cool if i ran into you here in Calgary.
Is Michele a big Heartland fan too? She knows who Spartan is!
She isn't, but she's hasn't had much of a choice since I've watched it so much. She's seen enough in the background to get the gist.
Congrats great job
Haha so that girl Baye from what i read plays Katie in the show… too funny.
I appreciate this.
I'm in baby! Need you in Canada 🇨🇦
Well this was fun :)
Carzilla ur competition is in Calgary. It only makes sense to open there.
I already work with Carzilla. They are great people. We would just work together more often. Carzilla has a very different business than me, so we wouldn't be in competition on much.

"Go west young man"... several good detailers out here, but CA, OR and WA property is expensive! 😮
Historically, people who struggle with some degree of affliction usually change the world.
Matt is choosing a logistically questionable location because his favorite TV soap opera takes place there lol.
Are you looking for investors for your Canadian operation?
That's great eh!
Matty getting a little emotional at the end ?
I'm from Alberta yee hawww
Home away from Home. Some times you do what your heart is telling you and the money will come after.
Need a west coast location.
Yeah, I'd likely do something in Wyoming or Idaho at some point. Possibly Arizona...
please open shop here please! carzila does good!
To expensive in Ontario any prairie provinces would cost your business less
Hey buddy, this is definitely unsolicited advice and a polarizing topic, but you should research psilocybin and consider it as an alternative way to gain an perspective into these life questions you have 🤙 I’d be glad to share a paper I wrote in school on the topic if you’re interested
Yeah...I have a real fear around having an adverse event, but it may be something that could help me.
@@ObsessedGarage understandable, my hope would be if you look further into the science you’ll likely find the reason it’s polarizing is “bad press”
What an awesome experience, happy for you all! But damn Matt, those eyelashes need a trim ruclips.net/video/jGB0CzvTw8k/видео.html
I've said this hundreds of times, but I'm going to say it again. Keep your mouth shut about other people's appearance. It's going to get you into real trouble that you may not be able to get yourself out of in the future.
I wish they didn't kill off Ty, but he wanted to get off the show, so 🤷♂
Me too

Yes, I did it for about 45 days. I felt great from and inflammation standpoint, but I struggled with energy in the hard workouts I like to do.
@@ObsessedGarage I think their answer to energy level would be you are not eating enough fat or salt or something like that.

👍🏼
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
What do people see in Heartland? Started watching it and fell asleep .. snooze fest .. help me understand?
It's hard to explain. It just resonates with me.
Hopefully Canada is buiness friendly.
Sir please hepl me please reply i want little favour please reply
Ha, ha... I don't do favors.
