Meet Tyler Rodgers | International Investigator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tyler Rodgers and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tyler, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Excellent question! This really takes me back to where it all began. Working for someone else had become incredibly routine – too routine, in fact. I found myself in a bare office in the early hours, and just as bare in the evening. My drive was fueled by an intense motivation, a yearning for something more than just commissions or acknowledgments.

There was a moment when I realized that what I was truly seeking couldn’t be found in my then-current role. I craved the freedom to innovate, to make decisions that could have a broader impact, and to create something that was distinctly mine. This realization was the catalyst for my journey into entrepreneurship. It was about transforming my relentless drive into something tangible and impactful, something that resonated not just with my ambitions but also with my personal values and vision.

With this desire, came Privin Network. I wanted to change the industry for good.

What should our readers know about your business?
I’m thrilled to share the journey and ethos of my business. What sets Privin Network apart is our commitment to blending traditional investigative techniques with cutting-edge technology. Our expertise in digital forensics and cybercrimes, combined with a deep understanding of human behavior, allows us to offer unique solutions to our clients.

I’m particularly proud of the team we’ve built. Each member brings a wealth of experience and a shared commitment to excellence, integrity, and discretion. We’ve assisted clients globally, handling everything from complex asset searches to sensitive personal matters. Our ability to adapt and respond to the evolving landscape of private investigation is something that excites me every day.

Getting to where we are today was far from easy. The journey involved constant learning, adapting, and overcoming numerous challenges. One of the biggest challenges was staying ahead in a rapidly evolving field. We invested heavily in training and technology, ensuring that our team remained at the forefront of the industry.

The lessons learned along the way are numerous. Perhaps the most important is the value of trust – both in building relationships with clients and within our team. Trust is the foundation of our business. Another key lesson is the importance of resilience. In this line of work, you face frequent setbacks and challenges. Learning to persevere and adapt has been crucial to our success.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
It has definitely been a long road. When I first started my agency, I was overwhelmed but knew I had one shot to make it work and it did. Without the support of my immediate family, none of this would have been possible. I’d like to keep other colleagues names anonymous given the industry that I am in, but many of them supported me along the way starting out. I always believed that your network is truly your net worth.
