Matthew Swaggart is a photographer, designer, and Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HoldFast Gear. HoldFast Gear is a high-quality leather goods outfitter originally tailored to the photography industry.

It was during this time that he saw a need for a camera strap that offered the ability to hold multiple cameras while providing a polished, professional look. Thus, the Money Maker was created.

In this episode, Matthew tells the HoldFast Gear story and discusses the power of passion and work ethic in business, and his emphasis on quality in developing new, timeless pieces.
