First off, I know he's insanely successful. I get it.
Not only that, but I think he usually gives out great advice. I'm a big fan overall, and you can get a lot of value from him.
But I wanted to get some forum opinions on some of the stuff he posts.. because sometimes it sounds like he's just selling the dream. I'd love to see other viewpoints on this.
For example, here is a short little fake text convo he had to illustrate a point:

But (as far as I see it) isn't this just "selling the dream?" The part about not watching House of Cards is obvious lol, but the part about "starting a blog/podcast" for video games... how does that just equate to success? Again, I do think he provides massive value, and has to be one of the most well-known entrepreneurs out there, but some of the stuff he posts just comes across to me as saying they will make it if they "hustle" hard enough.
