The Escape Plan: A 40-Day Plan to Annihilate the Adultitis in Your Life
Jason Kotecki first drew his lovable cartoon characters for his girlfriend Kim sometime before the turn of the century. The couple shared a kindred childlike spirit, and Jason used the drawings, which represented the couple as children, on many homemade (aka cheap) gifts designed to win her heart. Luckily for him, this downright sappy ploy helped him to not only win her heart, but also her hand in marriage. The characters took on lives of their own and in 2000, the real Kim and Jason decided to build a company to share the comic strip and its inspiring message. Now Kim (a former kindergarten teacher) and Jason (a professional cartoonist) team up to write books and speak to audiences all over the world, delivering a message (described as a cross between Dr. Phil and Mr. Rogers) that empowers busy people to use strategies from childhood to create lives with less stress and more fun.
