The audience sounds like a fake laugh track. Nice presentation about the value of persistence and giving customers what they want, though.
Ok, to save everyone 5-minutes, it's a self-deprecating piece about a guy who makes a few grand selling a softcore pron app. Funny, but crass.
This sounds like good advice for any endeavor:

"I find the reason some developers succeed beyond their wildest dreams more interesting:

    * They passionately believe in not doing what is commonly expected.

    * They are willing to take a risk.

    * They work hard at getting their execution right."
