Episode 8: From Flat Rate to Founder with Jim Eisenberger

Summary: In this inspiring episode of In the Ellipsis, host Jeremiah Isley sits down with first-time podcast guest Jim Eisenberger, a former automotive technician turned tech founder. Jim shares his bold leap from an 18-year career as a flat rate technician to full-time entrepreneurship, building a software solution designed to transform how technicians diagnose and repair vehicles using augmented reality.

Jim opens up about the pivotal moment that triggered his transition, the early roadblocks with a co-founder, and the long nights spent developing his vision. He details how he's bootstrapped development, secured pilot dealerships, and is actively pursuing investors—while balancing life as a father of three. Plus, Jim gives us a glimpse into Pinpoint XR, the startup he hopes will equip every technician—from day one—to do the job of a seasoned pro.

Listeners will walk away with insight into the mental, emotional, and financial challenges of starting a tech company from scratch, the power of validation in a startup journey, and what it means to be truly "in the ellipsis."
