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
Connection Unlocks Your Next Level
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Growth rarely happens in isolation. The right conversation at the right moment can change the direction of a life.
In this episode of Delusional!, Michelle Coyle sits down with Maxine Cunningham, CEO of Pick My Brain, who explains why connection is more than networking. Maxine shares how sixty paid conversations sparked investments, partnerships, and even love not because of strategy alone, but because she trusted curiosity and intuition.
Instead of running her company strategy-first, she now leads intuition-first and lets conversations sharpen her direction. For entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders navigating an AI-driven world, human connection is your competitive edge.
Experience how one intentional conversation can move you into your next level. Tune in to the full episode of Connection Unlocks Your Next Level.
