Running a service-based business is hard. Most owners — in the trades or professional services — struggle with the same problems: - How do I get more of the right clients without spending more on marketing? - How do I find, keep, and motivate great people? - How do I stop being the bottleneck in my own business? - How do I fix my broken systems and get my time back? - How do I raise profitability when costs keep rising? - How do I use AI without feeling overwhelmed? If you’ve asked yourself any of these, this show is your missing playbook. Each episode reveals how to align People, Processes & Profitability so you can scale smarter, lead stronger, and build a business that runs with consistency, clarity, and sustainable profit — not chaos. As the author of Creating Business Superfans®, your host L. Frederick Dudek (Freddy D) delivers lively conversations with global founders, CEOs, sales and marketing leaders, culture architects, and SaaS + AI innovators — plus solo episodes where he breaks down the playbooks, mindsets, and systems service-based entrepreneurs need most. These insights help you turn your team, clients, and partners into unstoppable advocates — what Freddy D calls Business Superfans® (think sports-team superfans): your ultimate growth engine. Freddy D has lived the climb. After leaving home at 17 and working multiple jobs to finish high school, he rose from draftsman to global sales and marketing director in the emerging CAD/CAM industry, helping grow a software platform from zero to millions. In 2023, he added $1 million in revenue to a 30-year-old service business and positioned it for a successful acquisition. Tired of brainstorming by yourself?
