The Driven Introvert Podcast

The Driven Introvert is a faith-inspired podcast designed for purposeful introverts. It's the place to be for dreamers, doers, and entrepreneurs ready to bring to life the dreams, callings, and ideas God has placed in their hearts.

Are you holding onto an idea that you've been thinking about for a while but are unsure how to start?

Do you sense that God is calling you to step out and do something new, but fear, uncertainty, or lack of clarity is holding you back?

Our goal is to help you Get Unstuck, make progress on your God-inspired ideas, and find a supportive community.

On this bi-weekly show, host Remi Roy, founder of Shepact.com, offers unique perspectives on what it means to follow dreams, passionately build out ideas, and live a life that matters. Tune in for inspiring conversations, valuable resources, reflective insights, and stories that will remind you that the life and work you've envisioned is possible, and your unique personality is not a limitation to achieving it.

For the driven introvert, introvert leaders, introvert entrepreneurs, dreamers, faith driven entrepreneur, passionate leaders, and anyone who wants to close the gap between where they are and where they need to be.

We discuss career development for introverts, introvert success, introvert success strategies, networking for the introvert, and other pertinent issues to help you as an introvert grow personally and professionally.

The Driven Introvert Podcast

When 9-5 Is Not for You. Owning Your Nontraditional Career Path.

July 20, 2025 • Remi Roy • Season 3 • Episode 17

You’ve tried the 9–5. Maybe you’ve even tried a few different versions of it. And still, something’s off.

Do you ever feel like the path everyone else is walking… just isn’t meant for you?
You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing my journey of choosing a nontraditional career path and how to stay grounded when the road is unclear.

We’ll talk about:

Why feeling “out of place” at work might be a clue, not a curse
How to stop fighting for approval and start building your path
What to do when your dream feels real, but the vision is missing

This one’s for you if you know you want different, even if you can’t quite name it yet.
