Rafael Rodriguez, Jr., MBA is the Founder and CEO of Total Source Network, a network of nine specialized companies spanning accounting, tax advisory, web and marketing, procurement, IRS debt relief, credit wellness, professional training, and business AI. Triumph Solutions, the network’s business and tax advisory firm, is MBA-led with a licensed CPA on staff.
Rodriguez is the author of eight business books, including The CEO’s Edge and Accounting for Beginners, and the host of the Triumph Business Show podcast. He drives for Uber in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale market and is the author of the Florida Rideshare Driver Fairness Act, a proposed bill establishing pay floors, fare transparency, and deactivation protections for rideshare drivers, which he is advancing toward the 2027 Florida legislative session.
His work sits at the intersection of Main Street entrepreneurship and policy: building businesses by day, driving for one of the world’s largest platforms by night, and writing the legislation he believes should govern it.
