REAL talk with Gary

Self care is critical so you can take care of others and do your job to the best of your ability. Put the oxygen mask on before placing it on someone else.

Roger Webb, Tass Souza and Kenny Wahlberg talk about what they are doing for self care these days. Roger talks about physical fitness, Tass talks about nutrition and Kenny talks about finances. Listen and share your thoughts with me at GaryWinchester.com.

In this episode I am interviewing three incredible men that I know through essential oils and I thought it would be exciting for you to get a chance to get to know them. Enjoy hanging out with me, Gary Winchester, my three friends Roger Webb, Tass Souza and Kenny Wahlberg in the Dudes Series.

In this episode I talk with Erika Potts from Oils4TheMind.com about dōTERRA Essential Oils. She tells us how she got started, how long she's been doing and more. Hope you enjoy this quick episode.

In this episode Erika Potts from Oils4TheMend.com and I talk about Working Out and Supplements. We share our thoughts on the current mindset in the fitness industry when it comes to working out and supplements. It was a lot of fun recording this with an awesome friend and brilliant fitness pro. 

There's products that you can take to maximize your workout, but you and I both know that a lot of those products are filled with chemicals and junk with massive side effects like killing your kidneys. I mean, if a product has to have a better product within it to make sure it doesn't kill your kidneys that should give you a warning.  What's your thoughts?

My thoughts on that would be no I was also in the past took a bunch of stuff I never did like steroids or anything but you know, whatever was in the cabinet at the gym that's supposed to amp up your workout...

It's so much fun to talk with my good friend Erika Potts from Oils4TheMend.com, but it was special to be able to reflect on our past experience in the fitness industry and how our mindset was to how it is now. Our goal is to help you improve your fitness mindset so you don't struggle like we did. Hope this helps you!

So I've noticed the mindset with fitness, this is probably going to be higher but I'm gonna say 98% of the people believe this, is that it's all about weight loss and muscle gain and that's it. I mean, that's, that's what it is for them.

Yeah, you do the internal first and all these other things fall into place. It's beautiful the way it works, and they catch on to that and then there's days where they come in and they're frustrated. Like, you know, we've been doing this for three months and I haven't reached my goal. Like, well, we need a little bit more time. But then the battle they have is I haven't reached my goal but yet all these other things are happening.

Thank you for listening!

I had a great time recording with Erika Potts, it just worked out that through our conversation we created 4 different episodes. This episode was just us talking and I thought it would be great to share with you. I hope you truly enjoy this first episode as we talk about life, depression, God and Holy Spirit. In the next episode we talk about a fitness mindset, in the third episode we talk about working out and supplements. In the fourth episode we talk about Erika's oil journey where she talks about the meaning behind the name of her website. In future episodes I hope to interview her husband Dan Potts. 

You can find Erika and Dan Potts online at Oils4TheMend.com or on Instagram and Facebook.

What's up podcast listeners? Thank you so much for joining me on this episode hashtag one take wonder. Yeah. Um, so I did a video on Instagram TV. I don't remember how far back that was it depends on when you're listening to this could be a while back but I did a video called hashtag one take wonder the whole reason why I did that was the whole idea behind one take wonder. So I have let me just backtrack a little bit. Hi I'm Gary Winchester, I'm your podcast hose. I'm an essential oil guy stay at home dad and entrepreneur. So the whole reason behind doing hashtag one take wonder was it allows me to create content that is on my heart to create

I have a desire to create content I love producing content. But I've always struggled with producing perfecting content, I've always struggled with producing content that is an extremely high quality. And honestly, really good content like that from coming from one person takes a long time. And with how my life is right now, as a stay at home dad and entrepreneur, I am constantly on the go. So I need to be able to create content that's quick and on the dough. That also gives me freedom. So I create content on my phone and edit on my phone and post it from my phone. So I have to use these tools that are at arm's reach, really, to be able to share what is on my heart, what's on my mind and If you listen to my relaunch episode new name, I talk about why rename, rename the podcast...
