About the Podcast

Business Superfans® Advantage

Running a service-based business is hard.
And for most owners, growth only makes it harder.

Whether you’re in the trades or professional services, the challenges are familiar:
• Attracting better clients without spending more on marketing
• Finding, keeping, and motivating great people
• Getting out of the day-to-day without losing control
• Fixing broken systems and protecting margins
• Using AI and automation without adding noise or complexity

If you’re tired of wearing every hat and being the bottleneck, this show is for you.

Business Superfans Advantage is where service-based entrepreneurs learn how to create Business Superfans®, build authority that compounds, and escape the grind—without chasing tactics or burning out.

Each episode delivers practical, real-world strategies to align People, Processes, and Profitability, so your business can scale with clarity, consistency, and sustainable profit—without depending on you doing everything.

Hosted by Frederick Dudek (Freddy D)—bestselling author of Creating Business Superfans®, global prosperity advisor, and hands-on operator—you’ll hear conversations with founders, CEOs, sales and marketing leaders, culture builders, and SaaS + AI innovators who understand what it actually takes to grow a service business.

You’ll also hear Authority Edge™ solo episodes, where Freddy breaks down leadership, stakeholder alignment, and positioning strategies that build trust before the first call—leading to shorter sales cycles, stronger referrals, and growth that compounds over time.

At the core of the show is a simple belief:
when you turn your employees, customers, and partners into Business Superfans®—sports-team-level advocates—you unlock the R⁶ Reactor™: Recognition, Reputation, Retention, Reviews, Referrals, and Revenue.

Freddy has lived the climb—from leaving home at 17 to finishing high school while working multiple jobs, to helping scale global software platforms and service businesses. Most recently, he added $1M in revenue to a 30-year-old service company and helped position it for a successful acquisition.

If you’re ready to stop doing it all yourself and start building a business that works because of your systems—not your exhaustion—join the Entrepreneur Prosperity™ Hub, a free Skool community for service-based entrepreneurs focused on clarity, collaboration, accountability, and sustainable growth.

About your host

Frederick Dudek

Frederick Dudek, author of the book "Creating Business Superfans," and host of the Business Superfans Podcast. He is an accomplished sales and marketing executive with over 30 years of experience in achieving remarkable sales performance results in global business markets. With a successful track record in the software-as-a-service industry and others. Frederick brings expertise and insight to help businesses thrive., he shares invaluable knowledge and strategies to create brand advocates, which he calls business superfans, who propel organizations toward long-term success.

Born in rural France, Frederick spent summers on his grandfather’s vineyard in France, where he developed a love for French wine. As a youth, he showed a strong aptitude for engineering and competed in drafting and design competitions. After winning numerous engineering awards, he became a draftsman working on numerous automotive projects. He was selected to design the spot weld guns for the 1982 Ford Escort car. That led to Frederick joining the emerging computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) industry, in which he quickly climbed the ranks.

While working for a CAD/CAM company as an application engineer, an opportunity presented itself that enabled Frederick to transition into sales. It was the right decision, and he never looked back. In the thirty-plus years Frederick has been selling, he has earned a reputation as the go-to guy for small companies that want to expand their business domestically or internationally. This role has allowed him to travel to over thirty countries and counting. When abroad, Frederick’s favorite pastime is to go exploring for hours, not to mention enjoying some of the local cuisine and fine wines.

Frederick is a former runner and athlete. Today, you can find him hiking various trails with his significant other, Kiley Kaplan. When not writing, selling, speaking, or exploring, he is cooking or building things. The next thing on Frederick’s bucket list is learning to sail and to continue the exploration of countries and their unique cultures.
