The Driven Podcast

Twenty years ago, Cheyenne Jones received a 28-page vision from God during a week of fasting — a detailed blueprint to help young women reclaim their identity. Instead of acting on it, she buried it. A secret from her past made the calling too personal, too exposing, and fear kept her running. In this episode, Cheyenne shares the fundraiser that cracked her open, the scripture that shifted everything from self-preservation to surrender, and the birthday provision that confirmed God was already moving ahead of her. Colt and Cheyenne go to deeply vulnerable places together — discussing abortion, shame, and the forgiveness that comes when you stop running. Cheyenne now runs Face-to-Face Against Exploitation and facilitates the Girls Like Us program in youth homes across Nova Scotia, walking alongside young women who remind her of exactly who she used to be.

In this episode of The Driven, host Colt Charlebois sits down with Vinny Savard and Jennifer Amirault for a raw and honest conversation about the cost of drivenness. Together they explore the dark side of ambition — the limiting beliefs, inner dialogue, and hidden motives that can fuel success but come at a serious personal price.Jennifer shares her powerful story of transformation and surrender, including an unexpected encounter with Jesus during a guided meditation that changed the trajectory of her life and leadership. Vinny opens up about the pressure to perform, the lies that drove his ambition, and what it looks like to lead from a place of purpose rather than proving yourself.They dig into what it means to be driven by impact rather than ego, how to identify when ambition is rooted in pain, and why the most meaningful leadership starts with surrender. This isn't a tips-and-tricks leadership conversation — it's a deep, faith-centered look at what it really takes to lead with integrity.Vinny and Jennifer are the lead organizers of the upcoming Leaders of Impact Conference on May 23rd in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Colt will be speaking.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Driven Podcast, hosted by Colt Charlebois. In this pilot, Colt introduces the show's mission: exploring the fine line between drive for impact and ego-driven pride. He shares his own story of chasing success in real estate, accumulating $100K in debt by his mid-20s, and hitting rock bottom in a friend's basement before a radical shift in perspective changed everything. This podcast isn't about business owners promoting their products -- it's about raw, vulnerable conversations that unpack the true motives behind ambition, the cost of climbing the wrong mountain, and what it looks like when faith, purpose, and leadership intersect. If you've ever wondered whether your drive is taking you somewhere worth going, this is your show. Buckle up.
