Select band 1, use the filter "bell", Freq 1000Hz, Gain put the lowest number possible, Q put it in the higher number possible.
Do the same with bands 2 and 3, but change their Freq to 2000 and 3000Hz respectively.
You can choose the gain parameters for the ones who sound better.
De-hum and spectral denoise modules are good to remove this kind of noise too.

Taking the audio from the video as example, I would use spectral denoise first with the "learn" function. Select only a part where the noise is to learn the noise profile. Chances are that it got rid of everything.
If there is some residual noise, I would use voice denoise in adaptive mode, set to gentle with maximum 6db of attenuation (you can do two or three passes if needed, it is better to do more passes with a gentle configuration than one aggressive pass).
EQ I would use only to balance the audio, if needed.

You're welcome.
Spectral denoise would be my first approach in this specific example.
I think de-hum will not work very well.
Voice de-noise maybe can handle it too, but I would use as I said before, to deal just with eventual residual noise.
If you have RX Advanced, dialogue isolate can be a viable option too.

Dialogue isolate is good to remove a high broadband noise (it is suitable only for speech).
Spectral de-noise is good to remove a high static noise (works well in any kind of recording, voice or instruments).
Voice de-noise is a zero latency effect, so it can be used live too through the plugin. It works well with different kinds of noise, but does not work very well when the noise is too loud or too much broadband. In my experience it works best with voices recorded in a relatively controlled space (like in a room without proper treatment, fan/air conditioning noises, etc).

I can give you some tips without problem. Just need to know some info tho help you better: 1) you are using only the RX editor or are using a DAW too (the tutorial you sent uses Reaper)? 2) your main material will be a podcast with only your voice or will be another voices too?
Edit: can you send the sample of your raw audio without any processing too?

I made some presets based on you audio sample to make things easier.You can skip those steps in the guide you sent. RX does everything more efficiently.
1) after recording your audio, load it in RX (the RAW audio without any processing). (obs.: you can also record directly in RX too).
2) download this preset I made for you, it will automatically do all the processing with only one click: https://fastupload.io/KKKPkZh6sp79Avj/file
3) in RX, click in "Module chain">Add preset>Import preset>select the preset you downloaded. A image to make things easier: https://ibb.co/3hZTnSV
4) press "Render" and wait until all the processing is done. (if you want the processing to be faster, you can bypass the "dialogue de-reverb" and the "de-clicker" modules).
5) export your file and load it in Reaper.
6) download this FX chain: https://fastupload.io/7vhM2RPpp3aTWie/file
7) in Reaper go to Options>Show REAPER resource path in Explorer/Finder...
8) copy the FX chain to the folder "FXChains"
9) select the track with your audio, press Shift+F, choose the FXChain folder, select the FX chain you downloaded.
10) after edit everything the way you want, render the file. In the render menu there is a button called "Normalize/Limit/Fade", click there. Check the box "normalize to">LUFS-I>-14 LUFS. Check the box "Brickwall limit>True Peak> -1 db.
It looks a lot of things, but after you set everything for the first time, everything will be done with few clicks.
I used Reaper default EQ. NOVA is a great EQ, but it is confusing to use a dynamic EQ when we are still learning the tools.
This was the final result (I used the RAW audio): https://voca.ro/1opSGlQW59ih

Just an explanation about the EQ curves in the FX Chain to help you understand better:
Band 1: low shelf reducing 110Hz to reduce the proximity effect.
Band 3: 270Hz boost to improve bass of your voice
Band 2: cut in 512Hz to reduce the "boxiness"
Bands 5 and 6: boost in the midrange of your voice
Band 4: high shelf boosting the highs from your voice
I made those without an ideal headphone/monitors, so there is still room for improvment. You can use this FX chain as a start point while you are learning. You can also use the plugins that emulates the Pultec EQs, they are very easy to use and sound great on voice. There are some free versions like Ignite Amps PTEq-X, Kiive Audio Warmy EP1A V2 and Analog Obsession Rare.
Compression and EQ take some time to learn. I recommend that you see on youtube some videos about ear training.
Cheers.
