How Davide Started Making Content

The Gstaad Guy sits down with Davide De Pierro, writer, storyteller, and viral voice behind The Letters I Never Sent, for a conversation that explores the messy, tender, and often hilarious reality of being human. Known for his clarity, honesty, and emotional precision, Davide reflects on the inspirations that shaped his writing, why “the how matters more than the what,” and the radical act of caring deeply in a world that rewards detachment.

The conversation dives into modern dating, expectations, accountability, and the quiet wisdom found in discovering how you truly feel. Davide unpacks the difference between being impressive and being loved, why perfection is a trap, and what role empathy plays in conflict resolution and navigating relationships. From role models to nostalgia, from self-awareness to the art of speaking simply, he offers a grounded and compassionate look at why so many of us struggle, and why none of us are alone in it. A thoughtful and emotionally resonant episode about relationships, identity, and the lifelong work of becoming a person.
