Against The Norm
It’s all about creating a thrilling, adventurous and extraordinarily healthy life as we continue to age. Most importantly, it is about living life to the fullest—daring to go against the grain of average and ‘what is expected’. Instead, to bravely go against the norm to lead an incredibly exciting life.

Cancer Didn’t Break Him—It Forced Him to Ask the Question Most Men Avoid
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After surviving cancer twice, he discovered the one question that can wake up any man who feels stuck—and most men never ask it.
What would you do if life hit you with cancer… not once, but twice?
Most people would shut down. Most would ask, “Why me?”
But today’s guest, Savio Clemente, asked a very different—and far more powerful—question:
“Did I live the life I was meant to live… and what do I do now?”
In this deeply honest and thought-provoking conversation, Savio shares how facing two life-threatening diagnoses didn’t break him—it transformed him. What followed wasn’t just recovery… it was a complete reimagining of how to live, how to find meaning, and how to move forward with purpose.
But this episode isn’t just about cancer.
It’s about something far more relevant to many men in their 60s and beyond:
👉 drifting
👉 losing direction
👉 and quietly wondering if the best years are already behind them
We tackle the real questions:
- How do you find purpose when there’s no crisis forcing you to change?
- Why is joy the first thing you should focus on—not legacy?
- What does it actually mean to “take inventory” of your life?
- And how do you let go of regret before it defines your future?
Savio also shares powerful insights on resilience, identity, and what he calls “adaptive resilience”—the ability not just to bounce back, but to evolve.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, restless, or unsure what comes next…
this conversation might hit closer to home than you expect.
