#4I agreed with a lot of what he said, but then I clicked on his Sales page [1] and my spam senses tingled. Feels like the marketing went overboard there and comes across as more trying to attract 'suckers', rather than actually having a good product.

3. Party for 10 years
4. ?
5. Make money

It's a plugin for a plugin! The rational choice for would be customers is to replace WooCommerce with something else that has the feature they need.
This blog post itself seems to be a marketing ploy to get more customers.

I'm blanking on his name but this sounds like the teachings of The Foundation (thefoundation.com)
I have no affiliation, but I recall podcasts where he repeats over and over that you just need to interview small biz and find real pains they'd pay for.
