Delusional! Big Dreams, Real Stories with Michelle Coyle
Delusional! Big Dreams, Real Stories with Michelle Coyle (formerly known as Seekers and Shifters) is a podcast about the blurry line between dreaming big and losing your mind. (Spoiler: anyone who has ever achieved anything probably did a little of both.)
We sit down with founders, creatives, and visionaries who bet on themselves—often when no one else would. These are the behind-the-scenes stories of people who went for it anyway. The goal? To remind you that the path to something extraordinary almost always looks “delusional” at the start.
Delusional! Big Dreams, Real Stories with Michelle Coyle
From Disney Parks to Digital CEO | Angele Black
What if the craziest thing you could do... is exactly what changes everything?
Angele Black didn’t have a job, a place to live, or a backup plan. Just a Disney annual pass, one duffel bag, and the kind of delusion it takes to look your future in the face and say, “I’m not going home.”
In this episode of Delusional, I talk with Angele about cold motel rooms, earning barely $7 an hour, and the messy, real path from theme park performer to six-figure entrepreneur. We get into what rejection really feels like, how to build a personal brand when nobody’s watching, and why delusion isn’t something to fix, it’s something to fuel.
If you’ve ever been told to play it safe, stay small, or wait your turn, this episode is your permission slip to do the opposite.
Tune into the full episode of Delusional: From Disney Parks to Digital CEO with Angele Black.
