I have a confession that won't be much of a confession once you start listening to this episode. I'm a big fan of David Sparks. I think he does great work in several different areas an I'm excited to talk to him about how he does it. We also both happen to be big fans of Disney and Star Wars. When we spoke, he was just coming off his first ever Sabbatical - so we'll get into that and how he manages to put out what must be dozens of hours of field guides while also running a law practice. Show NotesDavid SparksMacsparky Field GuidesMac Power UsersFocused | #104: Sleep and Sabbaticals AutomatorsMyke Hurley and Relay FMFind the Right Podcast Membership Benefits with Stephen HackettTeachableAirtableDEVONthinkBetter Touch ToolSetappMindNodeSponsored by: Yes Plz | iThemes | TextExpander ★ Support this podcast ★

Stephen Hackett is one of my favorite podcasters, and cofounded my favorite podcast network, Relay.fm. Back in 2018, I spoke to his co-founder Myke Hurley about starting podcasts. Since then, Relay has really ramped up their membership program and I though Stephen would be the perfect guy to talk to about putting out tons of content and deciding what to make free, and what to make paid. I think they're doing a fantastic job over there, and Stephen's inspired me to reconsider my own membership program for this show. Have a listen - I know you'll get some great ideas too! Show NotesStephen HackettRelay.fm512 PixelsMyke Hurley and Relay FMThat time Phil Schiller tweeted a link to my blogMacStories5by5FlashbackWill it Fly?MPU #537: The Photos Field Guide and Apple PhotosCGP Grey: Exploring TEKIOWant to start your own podcast?
