b'This was a really challenging episode for me to edit for a couple of reasons and I\\u2019ll explain in a minute. My guest is Dennis Procopio, founder of\\xa0Man-Up! Life Coaching, and fellow autism Dad. He\\u2019s here as a resource for men and helps them to become the best version of themselves.\\nThis episode didn\\u2019t go as planned but that\\u2019s okay. The whole point was to highlight what Dennis is doing because whether or not we like to admit it, men need help sometimes.\\nWhat ended up happening is that Dennis turned the interview around on me and we sorta dug into my life. It was a rather profound experience for me on a personal level. The struggle with editing this was that I shared a bit more than I have before, at least publically. It made me feel incredibly vulnerable, which is okay, but I wasn\\u2019t sure what I was comfortable leaving in. As embarrassing as some of these things were to admit, I left everything in because I feel like I shouldn\\u2019t be ashamed and Dennis really helped me to reframe some of these things. My hope is that someone out there benefits from this.\\nBottom line is that guys have feelings too. Our feelings matter and we need to become more comfortable talking about them. There\\u2019s no shame in being human guys.\\nAbout Dennis Procopio:\\nhttps://manuplifecoaching.com/\\nAll my information and relevant links are\\xa0here\\nSupport this podcast:\\xa0venmo.com/theautismdad\\nAdditional resources:\\xa0\\n-Exploring healthy meals?
