August 30th marks the anniversary of The 2pt5 innovator podcast. One interesting conversation per month. Work on the concept started much earlier. My first note in Evernote about the podcast is from August 2016. So a project long time in the making. But it is a side project to my job as innovation coach, so that’s okay. The podcast is a chance to grow, an adventure, a labor of love.

By just "tinkering in the garage" (his own words), Eric Tischer built a road legal electric vehicle more than ten years ago in 2008. In a time when EVs weren’t a thing and people weren’t familiar with the technology. With knowledge from his previous jobs, AutoCAD and an enthusiasm for car conversions, he converted a Volkswagen Passat into an electric car in his California garage.

After about a year and many experiments later, his commuter car was ready for the road. Since then, he has driven the Passat daily more than 90.000 miles, always improving and perfecting things step by step. The car he built in his garage landed him a job at Tesla, when it wasn’t the car company it is today. In the episode, Eric is talking about his insights into innovating, not just in the mobility sector. Listen to the episode and meet a person, that is very driven, confident and yet very humble.
