# PZTL 035 - A shoutout from Obsidian's CEO


So, we've had a busy week.

We grew around 15% in terms of new YouTube subscribers, and almost 20% in terms of Twitter followers, as we were mentioned by Steph, Obsidian's CEO, in a tweet repost, as well as having a few videos pick up some thousands of views each.

Right now we've not got an offer going at all. It's coming up to the busiest time of year as a business owner, though, and we'll have something for you to look forward to next week!

(I just don't have a history of thinking things completely through and it's come back to bite me again, and I don't want to put out something I don't feel satisfied with)

So here's the low down of what's been happening this week...

## I returned to YouTube

Two videos went up since I last reached out:

- [Obsidian's newest mobile release makes one of my most crucial workflows native (Obsidian 1.15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUUFMVOSAJg)
- [My Obsidian inbox triages itself (full plugin and Bases API demonstration and setup)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk1l8cZdlLk)

The one about the new mobile quick capture reached over 1000 views in the first 23 hours, and already sits at ~10k...

(I'm aware that YouTube counts views slightly differently these days, but it's still quite an uprecendented number!)

And you never know who's watching your videos, because a few hours after it went live, Steph Ango, Obsidian's CEO, left a comment, saying he appreciated the guide.

Later, when I shared the video on Twitter, he quoted it to his own audience, which was then picked up and shared by the official Obsidian account!...

## New places to keep up with me...

If you want to keep the most up-to-date on the new stuff, subscribe to the [Twitter](https://x.com/theostowell) and the [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@theostowell) if you're not already...

Especially the former, it's one of the places that I am the most unscripted and open when I'm talking about PKM, wider productivity and technology in general.
