CMO of Run Repeat, Paul Ronto joins Chelsea 3 minutes in to talk about the 3 ‘D’s—death, depression, and dating. Reflecting on the day of his father’s funeral, he recalls the pressure he was suddenly under at 18 to step up and how, from that moment on, he built a persona around a misguided understanding of strength.
He opens up about the time in his life when putting the brakes on anything that got too personal was second nature, how contingency plans and future tripping aka the cycle of rumination factors into his depression, why regret is crucial in life and shame is necessary in dating, where confidence generally comes from with men, the upside of saying what you want on day 1 versus date 10, and how connection is the closest thing we have to a magic pill.
