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 Rejected Scripts to Disney and Hollywood Deals | Adam Gilad
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.
