That video will get shared. Me talking won’t. Honestly if someone is so turned off by the video to overlook my reputation and experience, I don’t want to work them anyway.
I’m dedicated to working with people who push limits. Who have a sense of humor and don’t take themselves too seriously. Who are brave enough to take strategic risks.
I’m going to post it in a large private group of marketers. Let’s see what they say.

His business was located in Los Altos in Silicon Valley. He worked on a lot of high end cars, and I'm sure had a clientele that included lots of very successful people. I rubbed elbows with those people also when I was working in the printing business there and also in some community service organizations. I knew a few billionaires in the 80s. But I didn't lose sight of the fact that I was not one of them. I was the guy printing their letterhead and business cards or working with them organizing a 10K run to raise money for a children's hospital. I shared a few intersections with them, but wasn't travelling in the same lane.
Keep working outside the box. I think you are appealing to a clientele that wants to do just that. The rest of the pack is not where it's at. Never has been.
