In this episode, Lauren Lewis sits down with MarioRodriguez, President of Forseti Protection Group, a full-service security company that’s redefining what it means to keep people, property, and organizations safe.
Founded in 2012, Forseti Protection Group was born from the belief that clients deserve more than box-checking and basic protection—they deserve peace of mind. With a team built on military and law enforcement experience, Forseti approaches every challenge with the mindset that security is ultimately built on trust.
In this conversation, Lauren and Mario dive into:
- The Pain Points of reactive vs. proactive security - and why most businesses call after something bad happens
- Innovation over intimidation: how new technology like ballistic doors and biometric access is changing the landscape
- Navigating compliance-heavy industries like cannabis and nonprofits while keeping people safe
- Cybersecurity Pain Points: phishing, scams, AI-driven threats, and human errors that put businesses at risk
- The entrepreneurial journey: payroll panic, proposal turnaround times, SOPs, and scaling across state lines
- Why networking, community, and authentic relationships are just as critical to success as any business strategy
From handling multi-million-dollar security grants to training over 1,000 employees in a week, Mario shares how Forseti has grown into a trusted partner for schools, nonprofits, manufacturers, and national brands. He also gets real about the Pain Points of running a business - wearing too many hats, building the right team, and staying organized under pressure.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
