A $60,000 master’s degree, a $29,000 salary, a cancer diagnosis, a crumbling marriage, and a secret $22,000 credit card. That’s not a cautionary tale—it’s the origin story of a $10 million business.In this episode of Delusional!, Michelle Coyle sits down with business coach Erica Carrico, who built a multimillion-dollar coaching company while going through divorce, recovering from cancer, and raising two kids on her own. Erica shares the real story behind her leap from nonprofit executive to seven-figure entrepreneur—including the moment she secretly invested in herself when no one else believed she should.Together, Michelle and Erica get into the messy middle of entrepreneurship: the team implosions that cost them both hundreds of thousands (and millions), the integrity crisis in the coaching industry fueled by AI, why zero to $10K is the hardest milestone in business, and how the swing back toward human connection is reshaping how they both serve clients. They also tackle what it really means to build a business on your own terms—without social media burnout, without a supportive spouse, and without sacrificing your health in the process.If you’re sitting on a dream that everyone around you thinks is delusional, this episode is your sign.
