  • A Journey Through Addiction and Recovery
    Jul 7 2025
    In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, Furkhan welcomes Ian Fee to share his profound journey from early exposure to alcohol, marked by personal and professional highs and lows, to achieving sobriety and transforming his life and relationships. Ian discusses his early life, marked by an unconventional upbringing and early bartending, leading to alcohol becoming a 'superpower' in his networking and business dealings. He candidly discusses the impact of his addiction on his marriages and family, highlighting the regret and missed opportunities caused by his alcohol dependency. Ian delves into his intensive treatment, including aversion therapy, and the pivotal role of mindset in achieving and maintaining sobriety. He offers advice to those struggling with addiction, emphasizing the importance of a supportive circle, self-forgiveness, and living in the present. Now an author and motivational figure, Ian focuses on making a positive impact on others, advocating for a fulfilling life free from alcohol. His story underscores the transformation that is possible through dedication and the support of others. Buying into the myth of the "work hard, play harder" mentality, Ian Fee immersed himself in a culture that celebrated excessive drinking. But as the days turned into years, alcohol became more than just a means of entertainment and high finance; it became a destructive force that eroded his relationships, wreaked havoc on his body, and clouded his judgment.In Wild Ride to Sobriety, Fee tells a remarkable tale of a man who found the courage and determination to face the skeletons in his closet and achieve healing and personal growth. From therapy and self-reflection to embracing vulnerability and restoration, he made a conscious choice to benefit from the gift of sobriety without sacrificing the enjoyment of life.

  • Embracing Male Empathy and Emotional Regulation
    Jun 26 2025
    In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, Furkhan delves into a profound discussion with the founder of Man Up Life Coaching, Dennis Procopio. They explore the importance of male vulnerability, empathy, and emotional regulation. Dennis shares his journey of creating Man Up Life Coaching, despite the backlash faced for its name, which he explains as a double entendre. They discuss the critical role of authenticity, personal codes, and the art of negotiation in fostering a healthier male mindset. The conversation also touches on the significance of mentorship and the notion of experiential learning from shared male experiences. With insights drawn from personal anecdotes and professional expertise, this episode sheds light on how men can better navigate emotional challenges in today's society. Dennis Procopio is the founder of Man-UP! Life Coaching (MULC), an award-winning coaching program designed exclusively for men. With over a decade of experience and more than 10,000 hours of one-on-one coaching, Dennis and his team have helped hundreds of men reclaim control of their lives, develop discipline, discover their true purpose, and find inner peace. His life experience is as diverse as it is powerful. From a traumatic childhood filled with unimaginable obstacles to early imprisonment on the now-infamous Rikers Island, from surviving Hurricane Katrina to raising an autistic child with dwarfism, Dennis has evolved into a highly respected mentor for men. He has inarguably paid the price in iron for his unique curriculum. These hard-won experiences have shaped his no-nonsense, results-driven approach to coaching men through their most challenging times.
