RentMen:
How do you go the 'Extra Mile' in your life?
Ryan_Centofanti:
To be honest, I don't really think of it as going the extra mile. I've always believed in showing up, leading with intent, doing what I say I'm going to do, and genuinely caring about the people around me.
From working before and after school, early mornings on farms, 4 a.m. starts in the logging industry, volunteering with Special Olympics as a kid, or plowing snow for elderly neighbors after work, I've always been someone who believes in putting in the effort. Not because anyone asked me to, but because it's simply how I was raised and who I am.
I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and present. I show up on time, follow through on my commitments, and pay attention to the details that matter. In my experience, a lot of people remember the little things long after they've forgotten everything else.
At the end of the day, I don't strive to be extraordinary. I just try to care, be consistent, and leave things a little better than I found them.
RentMen:
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like others to absolutely know about you?
Ryan_Centofanti:
If I had to pick one thing everyone should know about me, it's that I've never been afraid to bet on myself.
Throughout my life, I've taken chances that many people thought were unusual, whether that was moving across the country to become a logger, building a life in San Francisco, pursuing unconventional career paths, or chasing adventures simply because they excited me. Some of those decisions worked out exactly as planned, while others taught me valuable lessons.
I've learned that growth rarely comes from staying comfortable. The experiences that have shaped me most came from saying yes to opportunities, embracing uncertainty, and trusting myself enough to see where the journey would lead.
Life is far too short to live someone else's version of it.
RentMen:
What would you like your readers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
Ryan_Centofanti:
I want people to know that what you see is genuinely who I am. Beyond sessions and content creation, a significant part of my life is giving back to the community. Through cycling fundraisers and advocacy work, I've helped raise thousands of dollars for organizations supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and people affected by HIV.
I believe success means very little if you're not helping others along the way. My goal is to leave the community better than I found it and to use whatever platform I have to make a positive impact; one conversation, one ride, and occasionally one mischievous adventure at a time!
RentMen:
What do you enjoy most about yourself?
Ryan_Centofanti:
What I enjoy most about myself is how open I am to life. I've never been afraid to start over, take a chance, or pursue an adventure that excites me. Whether it was moving across the country, exploring new places, or building the life I have today, I've always followed curiosity over comfort. I also genuinely enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories. Some of the most meaningful friendships and connections in my life started with a simple conversation.
