I've never been more excited to give a website my email. Half the reason I check HN these days is to see whether Patrick has posted anything interesting and actionable. If giving him my email and some money will incentivize him to take some time from his products and consulting to share what he's learned, that's a win in my book.
I would have been glad to sign up even if the landing page had just been a text field to enter my email and a disclaimer saying "Every second email I sent you will be spam intended for Latvian philatelists.", so I think offering a 45 minute video and a transcript is a gracious touch beyond what Patrick needed for his email list MVP.
