I'm at a loss here.

I'm very careful not to reject this kind of "My Success Story" thing straight away. Too often it feels to me like the kind motivational self help with no insights or real lessons to be shared — until I find out someone who watched the same video (or attended the same event, read the same article) got a real insight of some kind from it. [1] That said, I watched a bunch of these videos and got nothing from them. :-(

I'm not subscribing at this time because I'm genuinely concerned I'll be subscribing to videos of people rubbing their success in my face, and not much else.

[1] Here's something another member of HN fished from one of the videos: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3617651 (though I support the spirit, I don't particularly agree with that sentence).

EDIT: to be sure, I'm not claiming this website is going to offer lousy content, but I am claiming that they're doing lousy advertisement to that content (well, as far as I'm concerned at least — I'm merely a data point here).
