Why it worked
It reframes a tired niche (business/entrepreneurship) into emotional, cinematic storytelling—trading "how I made $1M" talking heads for a high-contrast visual journey. The hook locks curiosity immediately. The pacing and aesthetic elevate perceived production value. Praised in comments as “this felt like a movie.” Trust is built through humility + raw struggle, not polished “guru” posturing—this bridges aspirational and relatable.
