I could be wrong, but I think the article is saying that the Netflix myth never happened and it is trying to posit that instead of looking at the instance of breakthrough as the beginning, look at the less sexy work and experience that got them to that point.

Granted, while Walton's was certainly successful, I think they'd be better served highlighting someone that had to cut bait on something professionally in the past and succeeded after adjusting because Walton's story reads like "bad thing happened -> keep trudging" infinitely.
