The next best thing to experiencing something yourself is to hear people talk about their interests, sharing their experiences and stories. And the best stories are those that come from passion - striving to overcome obstacles on your way to succeeding in your chosen field, funny anecdotes, hardships endured. "Release The Geek" is our weekly forum to chat to people who are geeky about something - they could be successful, semi-so, or on their way to achieving a level of it but they've all got one thing in common - passion. Can't replicate it. And we want to share their experiences, their hurdles, their stories with the greater geek populace (or anyone who would care to).

Episode 1 - Accounting Geekery with Steven Cohen
First cab off the rank - it was a pleasure to have Steven Cohen as our first guest! MD of Sage Pastel, Steve identifies strongly with the geek tag and we really appreciate him sharing his experiences.
A clarification: during the intro, we said that Softline became Sage Pastel not long after its founding ... which is 'kinda' correct. Softline became Softline Pastel, the name the company was known by for many years. Softline Pastel was eventually purchased by Sage in 2004, which led to the current name for the company.
