Coach Austin has a new toy.
He's quite excited.
So what is it? How does it work? Can it measure body fat? What benefit does it offer over tradition measuring? Can you have a little 3d figure made out of it for dungeons and dragons? (this last question may or may not be answered).
In looking for a way to save time for his team - traditional measurements with callipers and tape measures take up a lot of time as his client base grows - Coach Austin investigated and researched various methods including bio impedance and shapescale before settling on Fit 3D.
He talks about how having a shiny new piece of kit has brought new clients in and how the technology actually works and how it's different to bio impedance.
Listen in and get 3D up in all those crevices, and Tony Stark up your body assessment.

Rami The Gutsy Geek is not a fan of long distance relationships. His longest one lasted a month, and she only lived one city away. But many geeks meet their significant other online, at conventions or events, and date across cities, countries, and continents.
In this week's episode, Rami recruits his good friend Steve, who after several long distance relationships has become something of an expert.
He covers the three golden rules for dating long distance, the pros and cons, what to say to naysayers, and how to have sex when your partner can only be touched through a screen.
Coaching for Geeks is here to save relationships once again, can it do so long distance?

Whether you want to work in film, or any sector, and are looking for a way in, Colin has loads to share about networking, meeting the right people, helping out, gaining experience and making your own luck.

eSports! Coahcing for Geeks founder, Robin Bates, is a complete an utter eSports N00b. At least he was until he went to Insomnia62 and PAX East...
Eyes opened to the world of professional gaming he sought wisdom, and found it in Jeff Simpkins from Barrage eSports (or at least in his brother James wh pushed Jeff forewards for the podcast).
Barrage eSports has a great ethos of taking care of their players and being a team players want to play for, so Robin met with Jeff to find out more about the UK eSports scene, the Barrage story, and where to get started to start to get to grips with the world of professional competitive gaming.

Dating is rough for everyone. But it's especially rough if you've just gotten divorced and have been out of the game for a long time!
In this week's episode, Rami interviews Suzie, the Single Dating Diva, about how she helps clients who have been out of the dating game get back in shape and get in there.
We talk about how competitive the dating world is, how to sell yourself to get an edge over the competition, and how regardless of what you're into, you've got something that makes you unique and interesting.
