You came back. That means you're ready for the dig deeper.

In Part 1, Dennis Procopio (The Bro Coach®) and Andrew Bontz covered the first 5 principles. Part 2 gets into the metaphysical heavy lifting. The final 5 principles take you from having faith in the infinite nature of existence to practicing transcendence, good words and thoughts, good deeds, and ultimately, being home. Not just at home. Being home.

This isn't surface-level self-improvement. This is philosophy for men who want to understand the mechanics of reality, the nature of creation, and what it means to live with purpose. If you're here for the abs, you're about to get the enlightenment.

FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE Dennis Procopio, The Bro Coach | Andrew Bontz, CRO Man-UP! Life Coaching

You came looking for a code. Rules to live by. A framework for how to show up as a man. What you're about to get is something deeper, and it might feel a little weird at first.

Most guys want clear answers: Do this, not that. Be this kind of man. But the truth is, every man needs his own code. Something he can justify his choices with, something he can live and die by. In this episode, Dennis Procopio (The Bro Coach®) and Andrew Bontz break down the first 5 of 10 ancient principles that form the foundation of the Man-UP! coaching culture.

This isn't your typical self-help checklist. Dennis wrote these principles in a style that one listener called "ancient, almost mystical." They're philosophical, challenging, and designed to make you think, not just do. Come for the abs, stay for the enlightenment.

🎯 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Intro: Why Every Man Needs a Code 3:21 - What the Man Code Actually Is (And Why It's Written This Way) 4:15 - Principle #1: Practice Being Peace (Stillness in Motion and Rest) [Add remaining timestamps from actual episode] 27:45 - Principle #4: You Are Strong (Brotherly Love & Why Attacking Each Other Attacks Humanity) 42:30 - The Pizza Metaphor: Why We're All Connected 47:55 - Principle #5: Practice Respect for All Creation 52:00 - "Come for the Abs, Stay for the Enlightenment" 56:25 - What Makes This Different From Other Life Coaches

📌 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why every man needs his own code (and how to create one you can live by)
• The first 5 principles of the Man-UP! Man Code
• Practice being peace: stillness in all situations, even in motion
• Why "a weak man imagines love is weakness and hatred is strength"
• The brotherhood principle: when one man attacks another, humanity attacks itself
• The pizza slice metaphor: why separation is an illusion
• How to practice respect for all creation without losing your masculine edge
• Why Dennis's approach feels "like home" compared to generic life coaching
• The philosophy behind "come for the abs, stay for the enlightenment"

In this episode, Dennis Procopio (The Bro Coach®) and Andrew Bontz tackle the uncomfortable truth: the higher you climb, the fewer real friends you have. Most guys have no idea how to fix it without feeling like they're "trying to pull some dudes."

📌 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why high-achievers consistently struggle with real male friendships
• The trap of making your wife your therapist and best friend
• Dennis's brutal truth: "A friend in need is a pest"
• How to be your own best friend before building brotherhood
• Self-validation practices to overwrite negative self-talk
• Practical steps to meet guys without being weird about it

✅ THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: → You've climbed the ladder and have no real friends at the top → Your only friends are work colleagues or guys you barely talk to → You feel weird admitting you want male friendships → You're tired of surface-level relationships and want actual brotherhood → You're ready to be your own best friend before building real connections
