From Debt and Despair to a Dream Life

Life can look successful on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside.

In this episode of Delusional, Michelle Coyle speaks with Robb Gilbear who shares his journey from overwhelming debt and a breaking point that nearly ended everything, to rebuilding a life designed around meaning, health, and honest work. Robb’s story is not about overnight wins or surface-level mindset shifts. It is about choosing to stay, questioning old identities, and rebuilding belief one decision at a time.

This conversation resonates with entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders who carry invisible weight. You’ll explore how self-trust is rebuilt, why environment and habits matter more than motivation, and how living intentionally creates space for both financial success and personal peace.

Hear how Robb Gilbear rebuilt his life one clear decision at a time. Watch the full episode of From Debt and Despair to a Dream Life.
