Ep 6: Spirituality Without the BS: Finding Inner Stillness When You've Tried Everything

You've got the career. The house. The family. Maybe even the body you wanted. So why do you still wake up feeling hollow? Why does every achievement feel like it's leading nowhere? And why can't you sit alone with your thoughts without your mind tearing you apart?

Most high-achieving men are chasing the next win, the next milestone, the next validation—believing that more will finally fill the void. But here's the brutal truth: You're optimizing your life while ignoring your spirit. You're a human trying to have a spiritual experience when you're actually a spirit having a human experience.

In this episode, Dennis Procopio (The Bro Coach®) sits down with Andrew Bontz, COO of Man-UP! Life Coaching, for a raw conversation about the decline of religion in America, what men are really searching for, and why success without a spiritual practice is just noise.

You'll learn:

• The critical difference between religion and spirituality (and why you don't need doctrine to have a spiritual identity)
• Dennis's journey through every major religion and what he discovered about the common thread
• Why "I identify as we first, then me" is the shift that changes everything
• The uncomfortable truth about meditation, stillness, and silence—and why high-performers avoid it
• How to move from egocentric identity to collective consciousness without losing your masculine edge
• The simple daily practice that reveals what success never will

This episode is for you if:

• You've achieved everything you thought would make you happy—and you're still miserable
• You can't sit in silence without your mind attacking you
• You've walked away from religion but feel spiritually adrift
• You're tired of the grind feeling meaningless and you don't know why
• You're ready to understand what's missing when you "have it all"

Whether you're a high-achiever feeling hollow, a man questioning what comes after success, or someone ready to stop running from stillness and start embracing it, this episode offers the blueprint for building a spiritual practice that actually matters.

Because at the end of the day, you can have everything and still feel empty—or you can learn to listen beyond the noise.

Not red-pill. Not therapy. Just the evolved man's blueprint for spirit, stillness, and real fulfillment.
