You’ve Been Called Too Much? Good. You’re In the Right Place. 

This podcast is for the ones who’ve always felt a little out there. Too intense. Too emotional. Too ambitious. Too something. I’m Michelle Coyle, and in this pilot episode of Delusional, I’m talking with Emmy-nominated screenwriter, executive producer, and one of the most delightfully delusional humans I know, Adam Gilad.

He shares how he went from suburban kid with a restless spirit to writing for X-Men, Iron Man, and Gargoyles and how the rejections, risks, and delusions played a bigger role than any traditional path ever could.

If you’ve ever had a big dream and wondered if you were crazy for wanting it, this one’s for you.

Tune into the full episode of Delusional: From Rejected Scripts to Disney and Hollywood Deals with Adam Gilad.

Michelle Coyle is a business expert, investor, and transformational trainer with over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience. She believes you don’t have to choose between success and well-being because you can have both. With a mix of honesty, humor, and heart, Michelle guides leaders to step into who they really are and grow from that place. She’s the founder of BGSD Strategies and the Political Business Institute, where she supports people who want to make a real difference without losing themselves in the process. Michelle holds an MBA from Dartmouth and is trained in tools like NLP, Hypnosis, and Emotional Release to help others break free from what’s holding them back and create the life they know they’re meant for.
