David Sparks is the co-host of Mac Power Users, Focused, and the Automators Podcast. He was on episodes 99 and 126 of this podcast. David is back on to discuss his latest Field Guide for Obsidian. Obsidian can be a scary app for some and in this episode I hope we can make it a bit more approachable.
