Hey there, health warriors! Ever wondered why that burst of motivation to hit the gym or eat right always seems to fizzle out? In this crossover episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck shares her featured episode on the Wits and Weights podcast to spill the beans on making wellness stick without the hype.In this special episode, Jenn and Philip Pape get real about swapping motivation for discipline and commitment, showing how small, consistent steps—like turning daily tasks into exercise or using gamification for accountability—build unstoppable momentum. They dive into why consistency is more important than intensity, how to avoid the mental trap of food tracking, and the power of understanding science/biology to transform nutrition choices. It's a fun, no-nonsense guide to crafting sustainable habits that fit your life! The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight loss, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our understanding of nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Intro: A message from Jenn(04:14) Phillip introduces Jenn on his podcast called Wits and Weights, topic: motivation (06:42) Discussion of motivation, momentum, discipline and commitment (11:20) Discussion about accountability and consistency in wellness routines.(13:54) Reframing daily activities as exercise, suggesting consistency in small movements (23:11) The inverse relationship between consistency, intensity, and low-intensity(30:12) Jenn shares a personal example involving ketchup and food swaps(36:13) Accountability, gamification or a personal trainer to support habit formation(41:07) Jenn discusses obsession over nutritional thoughts and tracking tools(46:50) Jenn shares how understanding the "why" behind nutrition transforms emotional decisions into intellectual ones(51:58) Listener blip: Phillips' client shares weight loss story(54:53) Emotional eating(1:00:32) Jenn's advice: How daily movement is critical and the 30-30-30 planKEY TAKEAWAYS:Motivation is unreliable; discipline and commitment drive sustainable habit formation by prioritizing action over waiting for inspiration.Consistency trumps intensity in achieving long-term wellness and weight loss, as small, manageable steps build momentum effectively.Accountability, whether through a personal trainer or gamification, supports behavior change by aligning actions with individual goals and capacity.QUOTES: (07:05) “I often hear ‘I know what to do, I'm just waiting to want to do it. I'm supposed to want to do this.' and it's such BS. We've been taught that motivation comes first, so we're all sitting around waiting for lightning to strike.” Jenn Trepeck (08:14) “We think we're broken. Fundamentally, you are not broken. There is nothing wrong with you. We've been fed a line that motivation is what we need, and it's not. I call it a different M word: Momentum, because in the beginning, motivation actually looks like discipline.” Jenn Trepeck(10:08) “You've gotta have a catalyst and we wanna distinguish that catalyst from motivation. I think people get overwhelmed with thinking like, ‘oh my God, I have to go to the gym three days a week, how am I gonna keep getting motivated to do that?' and it's just this thought that festers.” Phillip Pape(24:11) “So consistency and intensity are inversely correlated. The more intense something is, the harder it is to be consistent with it.” Jenn Trepeck(30:04) “You're not just...

Malcolm D. Purkey Born to Cockney Jewish immigrant parents who were entertainers, Malcolm Purkey  is an actor, director, playwright, influential drama lecturer, and theatre administrator.  He holds a BA and Honours from University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, an MA in Theatre Studies from the State University New York,  is a Fulbright Scholar and  he is a Graduate of the British Film School. His career and contribution to theatre is monumental. It started in the mad bohemian world of Adam Leslie. While still a student he designed and developed The Box and The Nunnery Theatres for Wits and then managed the influential Workshop 71. He surrounded himself with a group of artistic academic friends who met in a house in Junction Avenue, Parktown.  They formed the Junction Avenue Theatre Company that created politically conscious plays that had an influence on theatre in South Africa.Malcolm took a post lecturing drama at Wits (University of Witwatersrand) becoming Head of Department and an associate Professor. He was asked to assist the Market Theatre through a diffiult period and  turned it around. Malcolm has been a force in the theatre community and has had an enormous impact on hundreds of students. Elizabeth Howard, Producer and Host of the Short Fuse Podcast Elizabeth Howard is the producer and host of the Short Fuse Podcast, conversations with artists, writers, musicians, and others whose art reveals our communities through their lens and stirs us to seek change. Her articles related to communication and marketing have appeared in European Communications, Investor Relations, Law Firm Marketing & Profit Report, Communication World, The Strategist, and the New York Law Journal, among others.  Her books include Queen Anne's Lace and Wild Blackberry Pie, (Thornwillow Press, 2011), A Day with Bonefish Joe (David Godine, 2015) and Ned O'Gorman:  A Glance Back (Easton Studio Press, 2016).

The publication's over 70 freelance critics (many of them with decades of experience) cover dance, film, food, literature, music, television, theater, video games, and visual arts. There is a robust readership for arts coverage that believes that culture matters.The goal of The Arts Fuse is to treat the arts seriously, to write about them in the same way that other publications cover politics, sports, and business — with professionalism, thoughtfulness, and considerable attitude. The magazine's motto, from Jonathan Swift, sums up our editorial stance: “Use the point of your pen … not the feather.” The Arts Fuse has published over 7,000 articles and receives 60,000+ visits a month. This year they are celebrating their 5th birthday, a milestone for a small, independent magazine dedicated to covering the arts.Why The Arts Fuse? Its birth was a reaction to the declining arts coverage in newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. When the number of news pages shrink in the mainstream media, attention is paid. But the continual whittling down of arts coverage has been passed over in silence. Editor-in-Chief Bill Marx started the magazine to preserve the craft of professional arts criticism online, while also looking at new and innovative ways to evolve the cultural conversation and bring together critics, readers, and artists.Serious criticism, by talking about the strengths, weaknesses, and contributions of the arts, plays an indispensable role in the cultural ecology. Smaller, newer organizations need a response. When they are ignored as they are by the mainstream media, they fail to gain an audience. And without an audience, they fold, further weakening the entire ecosystem.Assist The Arts Fuse in their  mission: to keep arts and culture hale and hearty through dialogue rather than marketing.SUBSCRIBE to the weekly e-newsletterLIKE The Arts Fuse on Facebook, FOLLOW  on TwitterHELP  The Arts Fuse thrive by providing underwriting for the magazine.

Interview with Michael Quinert, Executive Chairman of West Wits MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/west-wits-mining-wwi-tolling-agreement-brings-production-date-closer-2663Recording date: 23rd July 2025West Wits Mining Limited (ASX:WWI) has released an updated Definitive Feasibility Study for its Qala Shallows gold project in South Africa, revealing dramatically improved economics that position the company as an attractive near-term gold producer. The study shows post-tax Net Present Value increasing from $246 million to $500 million USD, while the internal rate of return reaches 81%.Executive Chairman Michael Quinert attributes these improvements to higher gold price assumptions, rising from $1,850 per ounce to $2,850 per ounce based on Bloomberg consensus, alongside operational optimizations including lowering the cutoff grade from 2 grams per tonne to 1.31 grams per tonne. These changes extend the mine life from 9 to 12 years at steady-state production of 70,000 ounces annually.The company has secured $50 million USD in binding bank funding from ABSA Bank and the Industrial Development Corporation, with definitive legal documents signed. This funding structure significantly reduces dilution risk for shareholders while validating the project through comprehensive third-party due diligence. The debt facility includes standard commercial terms and hedging requirements structured through put options rather than full hedging arrangements.Production timeline has accelerated substantially, with ore extraction possible within eight weeks of recommencing operations. The project benefits from previous development work establishing infrastructure to the second level on ore, while Modi Mining has been engaged for contract mining services based on their extensive platinum field experience.West Wits Mining has secured a four-year evergreen toll treatment agreement with Sibanye-Stillwater, providing processing certainty while maintaining flexibility through multiple alternative options in the region. The company holds over 5 million ounces of resources within a compact footprint, with expansion potential to 200,000 ounces annually through "Project 200."Trading at approximately $75 million market capitalization, West Wits Mining presents compelling re-rating potential as it transitions from developer to producer, supported by improving South African infrastructure and the favorable gold price environment.View West Wits Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/west-wits-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

But does your body respond to this the way you might expect?Learn how muscle building actually works and how to optimize your approach to building muscle with minimal fat gain.And if you want YOUR question answered with this level of detail, join our free Wits and Weights Facebook group and use the #AskPhilip monthly thread.Support the show

Caoimhe, Antistrophe, Brontë arrived to Burzin with a clear goal: Find out whether the catastrophe in Burzin is tied to the mysterious malediction known only as Sourcerot. But seeing the town in ashes makes another objective clear: Stopping the fires from continuing, no matter what is causing them. Now, they seek answers that will lead them to investigate not only into the town's history, but into the lives of some of its oldest residents… This week on Perpetua: The Flames of Burzin Pt. 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.02] Town Maps [TNMP] Burzin Main Scenario Teribald's House of Chance This is where the main story route I took kicked off, but it's also where I lost a TON of asta. Wurdzin doesn't make any sense to me, but if you can get a lucky streak with your guesses, I guess you could really break the game economy here! House M'Shalia LOTS of lore here. There are way more things in the upstairs rooms and attics that you interact with than you might think. Make sure to turn on the option that makes interactables shiny! House of Benediction Obviously this is where the big showdown is, but did you know that if you go here during the day time you can get healed, get your debuffs cleansed, and get a buff!  Town Hall & Jail & House Burzin I think you can advance through the main plot here instead of through the House of Chance/M'Shalia route, but I haven't had a chance to load my old save and try it yet. Let me know on the forum and I'l update this! Burned Down Buildings You can check for clues at each of these locations, but the most important one is in the southwest. That's where the Saloon burned down. Shops Mining Supplies This is basically a “tool store” from other towns, so if you need any consumables from those, you can get them here. Clean Water Lodge & Crebbs Potions & Poultices I listed these together because they share the same interior on screen, just with a door between the two front desks. You get to stay here for free as long as the main story is ongoing (assuming you rescued Frenk), so make sure to use it before you leave town. The next time you come back, he'll charge you!.  Wilfer's Wits and Weaponry If you happen to have the asta, there are some pretty great weapons here! The Solium Bow (Dex+Dex, HR+8 Fire Damage, gives you Resistance to Fire) is especially great! Also, if you interact with the third bookcase three times, you can find “An Accounting of Spiritual Matters,” which gives you a huge bonus when fighting the boss here, plus can be used afterwards as a mage weapon. Serah's Surcoats I think the flame resistant armor is overpriced, but the Sungleam Shield is GREAT for Antistrophe. It's a big upgrade for both of his defenses, plus you can basically give people a solar flare from DBZ XD Side Quests / Other Residential District Mostly just NPCs to talk to about things here. I love the two brothers who hate each other. First Bank of Burzin Always remember to deposit any extra asta you have into the bank. Not only will it prevent you from losing some if you die in combat, it also actually slowly gains in value! I guess they have interest in Perpetua! Post Office This probably deserves its whole own entry, but did you know that if you have both East and West saves, you can actually transfer items between them? You just choose the “Send a Gift to a Random Person” option and pay the fee. The “random person” is actually a character in your other save game! It does take a little while to get there though. Abandoned Buildings Just a good place to grind against lanterns!   Hosted by Austin Walker (austinwalker.bsky.social) Featuring Janine Hawkins (@bleatingheart), Sylvi Bullet (@sylvibullet), and Keith J Carberry (@keithjcarberry) Produced by Ali Acampora Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Cover Art by Ben McEntee (https://linktr.ee/benmce.art) With thanks to Amelia Renee, Arthur B., Aster Maragos, Bill Kaszubski, Cassie Jones, Clark, DB, Daniel Laloggia, Diana Crowley, Edwin Adelsberger, Emrys, Greg Cobb, Ian O'Dea, Ian Urbina, Irina A., Jack Shirai, Jake Strang, Katie Diekhaus, Ken George, Konisforce, Kristina Harris Esq, L Tantivy, Lawson Coleman, Mark Conner, Mike & Ruby, Muna A, Nat Knight, Olive Perry, Quinn Pollock, Robert Lasica, Shawn Drape, Shawn Hall, Summer Rose, TeganEden, Thomas Whitney, Voi, chocoube, deepFlaw, fen, & weakmint This episode was made with support from listeners like you!

Welcome to Episode 97 of 2414! In this 10th installment of the Vibrant Conversations Deck series, Pastor Dan and Shane are back—just the two of them—for a hilarious, heartfelt, and hunger-inducing episode.They dive into everything from home buying stress to the theology of knocking on wood, from Outburst games on human sacrifice (yes, really) to Wits & Wagers trivia on Oprah and cable channels. But the highlight? A single card from the deck:"What's one adventurous thing you've eaten? Share about the meal."What follows is a food storytelling marathon that ranges from fermented shark in Iceland to cat food in college, with pit stops for burrito burgers, Wagyu, wasabi edamame, and even hot chocolate floats. Through humor and humility, the conversation reveals how even meals can carry meaning—and how the weirdest foods can lead to the richest stories.If you're looking to enhance your own conversations or simply want to explore these engaging topics further, you can grab your own Vibrant Conversations Deck here:

In this episode, Pastor Dan and Shane sit down for a meaningful conversation about the faithfulness of God—how it shows up in everyday life, how we can trust His promises even when things don't go according to plan, and how Scripture shapes that trust. It's a reflection rooted in grace, centered on Christ, and honest about the ups and downs we all face.This week's discussion is sparked by The Vibrant Conversations Deck, which invites us to share how we've experienced God keeping His word—even when walking through the valley of the shadow of death, knowing Jesus is right there with us (Psalm 23).We also start the episode with a lighthearted round of Wits and Wagers, just to get the wheels turning and the laughs rolling.Whether you're riding high or walking through something tough, this conversation is a reminder that God doesn't change—and He keeps His Word.If you're looking to enhance your own conversations or simply want to explore these engaging topics further, you can grab your own Vibrant Conversations Deck here: https://shoplhm.org/vibrant-conversation-deck/Don't forget to continue the conversation at home, in the car, at work, or anywhere you can find someone to talk to!

Learn more:https://witsandweights.com/physique--"You can't build muscle during perimenopause." How many women have heard this discouraging statement from doctors, trainers, or social media? Today's episode shatters this harmful myth through the journey of my client Cynthia, who not only lost over 100 pounds but is now successfully building quality muscle during perimenopause.If you've been told that hormonal changes during perimenopause mean you can't build muscle anymore or that muscle gain automatically means gaining excess body fat, this episode will change your perspective.Cynthia reveals exactly how she's avoiding excessive fat gain while increasing muscle mass, and why the common advice about hormones and muscle building after 40 is entirely wrong.Main Takeaways:Why building muscle is possible (and essential) during perimenopauseHow to distinguish between muscle gain and water weight fluctuationsThe mindset shift needed when transitioning from fat loss to muscle buildingWhy tracking measurements matters more than the number on the scaleHow strength training becomes your most powerful tool against hormonal changesTimestamps: 0:01 - Why muscle building during perimenopause matters2:50 - The multiple benefits of building muscle after weight loss8:49 - What finally worked for Cynthia's 100+ pound transformation12:17 - Key mindset shifts she learned in Physique University16:35 - Overcoming the fear of gaining weight during a bulk21:41 - The importance of strength training during hormonal changes28:53 - Optimal training frequency and exercise selection33:33 - Targeting specific muscle groups effectively45:04 - Pre-workout nutrition strategies that work49:33 - Tracking progress beyond the scale53:36 - The encouraging truth of muscle building at any ageJoin WWPU (Wits & Weights Physique University) free for 2 weeks!Support the show

Sign up for the Fat Loss Blitz challenge to lose 3-7 pounds of fat in 2 weeks for the summer: http://witsandweights.com/physique--Is there a FASTER way to lose fat without sacrificing your hard-earned muscle? Yes! It's called the "micro-cut" and the goal is to lose between 3 and 7 lbs of fat in just 2 weeks.But there's a catch...Rapid fat loss is a more aggressive alternative for those who've already mastered the basics (training, tracking, protein, walking, and NOT dieting recently). It's a calculated approach that works remarkably well under the right conditions.When I personally tested this method, I dropped 5 pounds almost entirely from fat while preserving muscle mass. Others who've followed the protocol have lost between 3-7 pounds in 2 weeks with minimal impact on strength. The approach is especially useful for breaking through plateaus or addressing hormonal challenges like those faced during perimenopause.Ready to try it yourself? We're kicking off our Fat Loss Blitz challenge tomorrow.Join us with a free two-week trial in Physique University to get the complete protocol, expert guidance, community support, and a chance to win a free coaching session.
