The story as I understand it. Dude was a game programmer, and decided he was pissing his life away sitting in a cube all day. Quit his job, and spent a year traveling the world on his own dime.
So he would send pics/vids to his friends of him from all these places. So one of his friends suggested he do "that stupid funny dance you do" in front of the places.
Well because of that he got famous, and basically got paid to do it the next few years, developed an internet following, and people would come dance with him in the vidoes.
So the insparational thing that he did was to get off his ass and go experience the world, and got lucky and is getting paid to do it.
