The "lecturing at Stanford" is also oversold. He taught one instance of a MOOC that was really one of the most poorly prepared I've ever experienced, and eventually devolved into him reading nearly verbatim from a written PDF.

EDIT: I toned down the criticism slightly and made it more specific (changed "worst" to "most poorly prepared").

He taught statistics at Stanford for a few years. He also taught startup engineering (CS184) before doing the MOOC.
