The Bro Coach® Podcast With Dennis Procopio

Les mer The Bro Coach® Podcast With Dennis Procopio

You've probably already read the books. Atomic Habits. Eat That Frog. Maybe a few others. And if you're honest with yourself, you're still circling the same questions: who am I, and why do I get out of bed in the morning? Not how do I make more money, but what is my actual purpose, and what is my legacy going to be?Dennis Procopio is the founder of Man-UP! Life Coaching and the creator of the Bro Coach® Approach. He spent more than a decade watching men who look like they have everything discover they're still working on their intrinsic value, still walking on eggshells at home, still keeping the wife in princess mode because "happy wife, happy life," still trying not to repeat the mistakes their fathers made. He thought the house, the wife, the kid, the dog, and the white fence would quiet his own internal turmoil too. It didn't. So now he helps other men figure out what actually does.Each episode is a real conversation between Dennis and co-host Andrew Bontz about the things most people aren't talking about at your office or your Christmas party. The stuff happening at 3 a.m. when it's just you and the mirror. The gap between who society sees and what you actually feel. Because the truth Dennis keeps coming back to is that success is peace, and a lot of high-achieving men have checked every box on paper and still can't find it. And if you're expecting someone to tell you to "man up and grind harder," you're in the wrong place. The bro in Bro Coach stands for brother, and the whole point is that you shouldn't have to figure this out alone.Take a breath, man. Let's get into it.

Who's Your Daddy? | Father's Day Special 2026 | S02E09

You did the math on everything, the mortgage, the tuition, the retirement accounts, and somehow the one thing you can't quite figure out is how to just sit on the porch with your kid and do nothing. You're not the passenger on this plane, you're the pilot, and even when everyone wants you to hit autopilot and come hang out, part of your CPU is still locked on the question, how do I keep all of this in the air? In this Father's Day solo episode, Dennis Procopio (The Bro Coach®) skips the goofy grill-out bit he planned, throws on an orange hockey hat and a loud Hawaiian shirt, and then lets the conversation get real about what it actually means to be a father today. He works through three kinds of men he coaches every day, the guy who had the so-called perfect high-earning dad and now can't grow in the shadow of greatness, the guy who came up in a violent, negligent, or just plain shitty home and carries the father wound, and the guy who never had a dad at all, who Dennis says he feels for the most because there's nothing to work with. This one gets into the credo Dennis calls the three P's, provide, protect, perform, and why a man running that program around the clock quietly trades away presence with his family and with himself. He talks about competency addiction, where you get hooked on winning because you're running low on self-worth, and how conditional validation from a father trains a kid to keep asking, daddy, do you love me now. He gets honest about his own story too, the abuse in his first years, a mother in and out of institutions, Rikers Island, and how he still fathers his own inner child on the daily after more than 25,000 hours doing this work as what he calls a rent a dad for hundreds of men, some of them older than he is. Also in here: David Goggins planking in his casket, Bear Bryant's three rules for a mistake, why energy vampires are not your friends, the peaceful warrior idea that a good man is in fact a gentle man, and the reminder that if you're in your kid's life and you're trying, you are already enough.
