Jeff Dudan is a seasoned business builder, Undercover Boss, and former college football player. He went to Florida to paint in the wake of Hurricane Andrew and two years later launched AdvantaClean, a national restoration franchise that had 240 locations in 37 states when Jeff exited the company in 2019.

Book Description: Given the opportunities at our fingertips, there has never been a better time to establish yourself in the world. There's only one problem: there are so many opportunities out there, it can feel like an impossible task to decide which ones are worth pursuing. To choose the path most likely to get you where you want to go, you need discernment. If you've ever wondered why CEOs earn six-figure salaries, discernment is the answer. Thankfully, this skill is available to anyone with determination and the right mindset. In Discernment, Jeff Dudan gives you the set of tools, models of thought, beliefs, and principles that you can quickly lay decisions against to make the best choice. Drawing on personal stories, Jeff shows that refining your discernment is a lifelong process that requires trust and intentionality. If you do the work, you'll become the type of leader and problem-solver whom people seek out when they're wrestling with tough decisions.
