Why I'm resting The Andy Procopis Show

And what's coming next

Hi everyone,

This is it — the final edition of The Andy Procopis Show.

First, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for liking, commenting, and occasionally sending a supportive DM when I thought about binning the whole thing.

When I started this newsletter, I had no idea where it would take me. I just knew I had a voice in my head that wanted to write things down.

Which is also how every war criminal starts their manifesto.

What I've discovered is “The Andy Procopis Show” is a pretty bad brand for discovery.

If you know me, it’s fine. But if you don’t, it doesn’t exactly scream what the newsletter is about or why you should care.

People see the name and think:

• “Who is he?

• “Is he famous?”

• “Is this a podcast?”

And that’s on me.

I wanted the freedom to bounce between mindset, productivity, relationships — basically whatever was bothering me in the shower.

As a result, I’ve spent months writing and posting to grow something that’s harder to explain than it should be.

The good news is, this newsletter did its job.

The Andy Procopis Show helped me find my voice.

It gave me permission to experiment — to be funny, to be vulnerable, to post thirst traps — and see what resonated.

And now, it’s time for a fresh start.

Well, there is no such thing as a fresh start, but I’m building something new.

I’ve created something that makes sense to a total stranger at a glance. Something with a sharper hook.

It’s called Advice Accreditation Bureau.

In a world drowning in life advice — from motivational speakers, self-help bros and 19-year-old TikTok life coaches — I’m going to test it, laugh at it, and figure out what’s actually worth listening to.

It’s the next evolution of everything I’ve been exploring here: comedy meets self-improvement, with a bit more clarity for a broader audience.

So what happens now?

If you’re already subscribed here, you’re coming with me.

Next week, your first newsletter from Advice Accreditation Bureau will hit your inbox.

Same voice, probably same thirt traps, new name.

Thank you for hanging with me while I figure this out — and for letting me graduate from “guy with a Substack” to “guy with a fake regulatory body for advice.”

See you next week.

Andy
