I'm having trouble finding high quality, Blender lessons made by people who actually work in VFX and animation for a living

For the life of me I can barely find any Blender lessons made by people who, ya know, have actually helped deliver a shot in tv, film (or helped shipped a game if we're talking modeling/texturing/shading/animation). I'd like to learn from people who regularly work on productions.

Nearly all the Blender lessons I've found so far are made by professional tutorial makers or hobbyists. I can not find any by pro animators, fx artists, lighters, look devs, compositors, modelers, sculptors, texture artists etc...

The only exception I've found so far is heavypoly's Blender tutorials. I intend to learn hard surface modeling and the basics of lighting/rendering with these tutorials, but I want to go more in depth after that, and I can't find anything else.

Am I being weird about this? I'm assuming that pros have important insights and perspective that can only be gained working in the industry for a while. An example of what I might want: Learn Arnold: Fundamentals of Shading and Lighting... or Houdini Procedural Foundations.

I'm looking for a solid foundation in 3D, as well as art in general. Would it be possible for me to take the core lessons from say, a quality Maya course, and then just try to apply what I see to Blender?

Do I just have to suck it up and pay $300/yr (Houdini Indie) or $1500 (Maya) for a large experienced community? Or does this type of stuff really not matter and I should just learn from where ever I can? Are there Blender lessons out there that I haven't found that pros recommend?

I'm sorry for this rant. I'm just finding this a little frustrating.
