On this episode of Making Elephants Fly, Terry sits down with Jason Kotecki for his second visit to the show. Jason is a professional reminder-er and permission granter who moonlights as an artist, author and speaker. Jason and his wife Kim founded the Cure Adultitis Institute and created Escape Adulthood, a company and lifestyle brand that helps people and organizations break free from the vile clutches of Adultitis in order to build better lives, businesses, and teams. Through their uplifting website, artwork, books, speaking programs, events and other tools, they empower their tribe of Adultitis Fighters to live fuller, richer lives with less stress and more fun. For over 15 years and with over 750 organizations, Jason has offered real-world strategies and practical ideas to help individuals realize Adultitis-free lives, helping them beat burnout and become more innovative by breaking rules that don’t exist. Jason’s artwork has been collected and licensed all over the world, and his insights have been featured in publications like Inc. and Woman’s Day. He is the author of seven books, including Penguins Can’t Fly + 39 Other Rules That Don’t Exist, which has been translated into languages he can’t even read. His newest book, A Chance of Awesome: How Changing the Way You See Changes Everything released earlier this year. Join Terry as he sits down with Jason to learn what happens when you change the way you see. Find out more at http://terryweaver.com and join Terry at the Thing at http://thething.live .

We have a fantastic conversation, diving into their journey to unschooling, how they got into the work of fighting adultitis, how encouraging people to see their days through a more child-like lens is remarkably similar […]

It is a little bit crazy when I think about the fact that I have been recording for the OJ podcast for nearly three years! Episode 156 will officially be the three-year mark, but I wanted to use this episode (150) to share a few of the life lessons that I have learned recently! I have been learning some amazing things about mindset, so I hope you will find these things as inspirational and life-changing as I have! Thanks for listening, you can expect more ear-guzzling awesomeness in the future! 64 Gifts Recently, my wife and I attended the Escape Adulthood Summit, hosted by Jason Kotecki from Escape Adulthood. Jason’s mission is to annihilate Adultitis and help people create better lives and businesses. During the summit, Jason brought up the idea of the Crayola box crayon box that had 64 different colors (yes, the one with the crayon sharpener!). If you had that box as a kid, you were considered super cool! Instead of crayons, Jason asked each person in attendance to write down 64 gifts or talents that we had. The skills could be simple, usually small talents we take for granted. After writing down a list of 64 of my talents or skills, I have to say I felt pretty good! This was a powerful reminder to me, and I think it could be for you as well! I wanna know, what 64 things are you good at? You can’t fill a moving cup! You have heard the phrase “I need to fill my cup.” Many of you realize that you are all poured out, and you need to recharge, but you don’t slow down long enough to let that happen. If you need to fill your cup, make sure you are finding the time to rest. After all, you can’t fill a moving cup! I’m telling for a friend I think people need to share more inspiring stories of kindness, but the problem is, it’s hard to do something kind for another person, then tell the story. It feels like bragging, right? Sure. That doesn’t change the fact that we need to spread more kindness. You know the phrase “I’m asking for a friend,” usually brought up when something is embarrassing? What if we started “telling for a friend” when someone does something kind? Make somebody’s day by being kind to them, or inspire new acts of kindness by “telling for a friend.” Your 99-year old self wrote you a letter Have you ever written yourself a letter? I recently participated in an exercise where I wrote to myself from the perspective of my 99-year old self! What would that guy say? What would he regret not doing? For me, the 99-year old talked about consistency with my current projects and encouraged me to stay the course. He’s a wise guy! I am learning to heed his advice! If you want the same experience, write me a letter (to yourself), and mail it to me, and after six months, I will print it out and send it to you! Fear is a liar Here is a simple truth: Fear is a liar. I used to struggle with anxiety and fear. It riddled my life to the point where I was taking medication to try and fix it, to no avail. I did not see a change in my anxiety until a friend taught me to take authority of that fear, and command it to leave! Fear comes from the enemy, but I have the authority, as do you, to rise above that fear and realize it is just a clever lie. What fears are riddling your life and stealing your joy? You don’t have to settle...I didn’t, and my life is absolutely better as a result! If you want to hear more of my story, I would love to share, and inspire you on towards a life without fear!

A local’s perspective on Madison This week, Chris Reese talks with David, a local resident who recently moved from Augusta Georgia to Madison. David had previously visited Madison a few years ago in the middle of winter. At that time, he had no interest in moving to here. Three years and one glorious August day later, David found himself loving everything Madison has to offer. He said he loves how electric the place feels, the fact that people are always out and about doing things around the city. From participating in local sports leagues to trying new restaurants with friends, there is always a sense of energy and endless things to do. David initially connected in Madison through a local church connection and now says he would love to see the rest of his family move to Madison. When Chris asked what his favorite thing in Madison is, David said: “Just being here.” Cure adultitis with Neil Mathweg and Jason Kotecki Neil’s featured guest this week is Jason Kotecki, an artist, author, and speaker who started a company called Escape Adulthood. Their mission is to annihilate Adultitis and help people create better lives and businesses. Jason says he loves to give people permission to have fun and remember what it’s like to be a kid. Neil and Jason talk about why finding “your tribe” is so important and how establishing these fun connections can improve the quality of your life. Jason also talks about a concept he calls a tinker project. The idea started after Jason realized he had not created any artwork for more than a year, so he set out to create 100 pieces of art. He didn’t focus on monetizing the project, he just created because he loves art. Jason said, “Oftentimes, our heart has reasons that our head takes a while to understand.” Neil shared that the I Love Madison show originally started out as a tinker project, inspired by Jason Kotecki.

This is the last episode in the Happiness Series. We have been taught to believe that we can not choose to be happy because happiness is something that can only be earned – that's not true. We can take hold of happiness any time we choose. Happiness is an attitude, and attitude is a choice. “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” –Viktor Frankl Over the past several weeks, we had leading experts from a wide array of industries share, confirm, and reiterate simple truths about happiness, fulfillment, and impact. Sheryl O'Loughlin had a phenomenal job, great career, and great potential – all of the success we might imagine for ourselves. However, it came at a great cost… one that nearly took her life. Sheryl taught us how truly powerful our choice to be happy can be. Ep. 53 – How Happiness & Love Help Entrepreneurs & Businesses Succeed – with Sheryl O'Loughlin. JP Sears joined us for two hilarious and ultra spiritual episodes. He helped us laugh, but he also offered insight about cultivating our greatness, belief, and rejoicing in small victories. Ep. 54 – Allow Yourself to Choose a Happier Mindset – with JP Sears Ep. 55 – How to Cultivate Your Greatness & Happiness – with JP Sears Doug Kisgen challenged us to rethink happiness, and in doing so accomplish great things by living a life of virtue (which means to do the common uncommonly well). He wasn't talking about scaling, hustling, or grinding – he was talking about love, patience, prudence, and justice. Ep. 56 – Rethink Happiness & Live a Life of Authentic Joy – with Doug Kisgen Jason Kotecki revealed the epidemic of adultitis, and encouraged us to engage in our childlike nature from time to time. Children are creative, insightful, speak their minds, and love unconditionally… can we do that?

This episode is part of the Happiness Series. We have been taught to believe that we can not choose to be happy because happiness is something that can only be earned – that's not true, and I hope these amazing entrepreneurs will help you choose to find happiness. Doing so will give you an advantage in business, relationships, and life in general. Jason Kotecki is an artist, author, professional speaker, and entrepreneur. He and his wife founded Escape Adulthood in 2000 (and later The Cure Adultitis Institute) with one goal: annihilate Adultitis. Jason and his wife envisioned an ideal version of adulthood, but the “real world” didn't live up to it. Bitterness and cynicism are rampant – excitement and enthusiasm are elusive. Why? They realized that most of us lose something in the transition from childhood to adulthood: curiosity, delight, and the ability to dream big. However, the most successful entrepreneurs – the Musks and Jobs of the world – never lose these super powers. Escaping Adulthood isn't about ditching responsibilities to rediscover fun. It's about remembering what we once knew as kids so that we can improve our lives, our relationships, and our businesses. How do you bring more fun into the workplace in a productive way, without being branded the crazy misfit? How do you become a more fun parent and raise your children with discipline? How do you find time for yourself when you're a caregiver? Don't get caught living a paint-by-numbers life – we are made for more. The beauty of adulthood is freedom and choice, so live freely and make your own choices! If you want a crash course in productive fun, you can attend the 2017 Escape Adulthood Summit. You can also join their http://escapeadulthood.com/blog/community (free community of insiders) and find a ton of awesome escape tools, and so much more, over on EscapeAdulthood.com. --   Don't be a podcast junkie… Resources: Connect with Jason: Facebook Instagram Pinterest Twitter YouTube Escape Adulthood: EscapeAdulthood.com FREE Insider Community Escape Tools 2017 Escape Adulthood Summit -- We are also brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.
