The Bro Coach® Podcast With Dennis Procopio
You're not here for therapy. You're here for real talk about being a man in a world that keeps shifting the goalposts.
Dennis Procopio is the founder of Man-UP! Life Coaching and the creator of the Bro Coach® Approach. He’s not a guru. He’s a guy who's been through it, figured some things out, and now helps other men do the same. Through straight-up conversations, Dennis helps high-performing men drop the excuses, kill the noise, and get serious about living with purpose.
Each episode serves up practical wisdom forged in fire. No fluff. No emotional hand-holding. Just useful insights that hit where it hurts, speak to what matters, and point toward what works.
If you’ve got success on paper but chaos at home... if you’re grinding hard but still feel off-track... or if you’re just tired of carrying all the weight with nowhere to unload it, this is your space.
Real talk. Clear moves. Purpose-driven masculinity.
Take a breath, man. Let’s get into it.

Ep 2: The Provider Paradox: When She Earns More Than You
What happens to your identity as a man when your wife or partner earns more than you do? For generations, men operated from a clear script: be the provider, bring home the bacon, earn respect. But in 2025, that script is outdated. Women are earning as much or more than men across industries, and many men are struggling to navigate this shift.
In this episode, Dennis Procopio tackles the Provider Paradox head-on. This isn't about ego protection or resentment. It's about redefining what it means to show up as a strong, present, purpose-driven man when the traditional provider role no longer applies.
You'll learn:
- Why the old provider script is dead (and why that's actually good news)
- How to separate your identity from your income
- What women actually want from men in modern relationships
- Practical ways to lead, contribute, and find purpose beyond the paycheck
- How to handle the emotional weight of not being the breadwinner
This episode is for you if:
- Your partner earns more than you and you're struggling with it
- You're questioning your role and value as a man
- You want to lead in your relationship without being the primary earner
- You're ready to redefine masculinity on your own terms
Whether you're the primary earner or not, this episode will challenge your assumptions about masculinity, money, and meaning.
Not red-pill. Not therapy. Just the evolved man's blueprint for navigating change with strength and clarity.
