I recently sat down again with fellow YouTube buddy, Josh Medeski, who is in the process of adopting Obsidian. We cover what I've learned over the last 2 years of using Obsidian and some tips I've found for finishing the creative process to actually deliver more content. We also cover a bunch of tips and best practices for getting the most out of Obsidian.
