Not on the Mic Episode 1 - Elisabeth Riisnæs - fellow Homeslice Employee who isn't on the mic but amazingly talented

HOMESLICE MEDIA DESIGNER SHARES NORWEGIAN ROOTS, CREATIVE JOURNEY IN RAPID CITY By Brandon Jones RAPID CITY, S.D. — A casual conversation in the break room at Homeslice Media Group turned into a deeper look at culture, creativity and life between two worlds for graphic designer Elisabeth Riisnæs. Riisnæs, who joined the Rapid City-based media company about six months ago, works behind the scenes designing logos, advertisements, websites and promotional graphics seen across the company’s brands and client campaigns. Originally born in the United States, Riisnæs holds dual citizenship through her father, who was born and raised in Bergen, Norway. Her father first came to America as a foreign exchange student before eventually attending the South Dakota School of Mines, where he studied electrical engineering and met her mother. “He thought it was cool being in America,” Riisnæs said during an episode of “The BrandoM Podcast.” Her mother later became a teacher, while her father remained in Rapid City after college, helping establish roots in western South Dakota. Although born in the United States, Riisnæs spent much of her childhood connected to Norway. She lived there for several months as a child while attending kindergarten and has continued traveling back to visit family over the years. She said maintaining dual citizenship required spending time in Norway and remaining connected to the country. Riisnæs also grew up speaking Norwegian and English, though she admitted she has become “a little rusty” while living primarily in the United States. The conversation highlighted differences between American and Norwegian culture, especially food and entertainment. Riisnæs said Norwegian versions of American products like soda and fast food taste noticeably different because of European food regulations and ingredients. She also shared memories of traditional Norwegian comfort foods, One called Risengrøt including rice, boiled milk topped with cinnamon, sugar and raisins — a childhood favorite she once introduced to college friends in the United States who thought it was bland. Beyond her international background, Riisnæs represents a younger generation of creatives building careers in Rapid City. A 2024 graduate, she previously worked for local apparel company Park Bench Apparel before joining Homeslice Media Group. “I just wanted to try something different,” she said of making the move into media design work. The podcast episode offered listeners a more personal introduction to one of the many employees working behind the scenes in local media while also showcasing the diverse backgrounds that continue shaping the Rapid City community.

Weight Loss and pain, Goals, Effort and we be lazy

Gym life?  Not you?  Me neither but I was wrong Brandon Jones says he spent years ignoring the warning signs — sore knees, back pain, exhaustion after simple activities and eventually severe foot pain that made even walking through a grocery store difficult. Now, after losing more than 40 pounds and adopting a consistent fitness routine, the host of The BrandoM Podcast is using his platform to encourage others to take control of their health before it’s too late. Speaking candidly during a recent episode of his podcast, Jones detailed his personal weight-loss journey, his struggles with pain and inactivity, and the lessons he’s learned while trying to improve his physical and mental well-being. “I’m not a professional,” Jones said. “I’m just a normal dude trying to be a better version of myself.” Jones said he once weighed more than 325 pounds and often found himself exhausted and sore from everyday activities, including bowling, hiking and coaching youth baseball. He described how plantar fasciitis in his foot became so severe that walking into stores became physically taxing. After medical visits, X-rays and physical therapy, Jones said he realized the root of many of his problems came down to inactivity and excess weight. “My body was basically telling me, ‘You’re too heavy,’” he said. Jones credited regular exercise at Monument Health Sports and Fitness Institute Powered by EXOS with helping reduce his pain and improve his quality of life. He said one of the biggest surprises was discovering that movement and exercise actually relieved many of the aches he once believed required rest. “My back hurt because I wasn’t moving,” Jones said. “Working out is what finally made it feel better.” Throughout the podcast, Jones reflected on how modern conveniences and sedentary lifestyles have changed the way people live. He argued that many people no longer perform the kind of physical labor previous generations experienced daily, leading to declining overall health. “We’ve gotten too comfortable as a society,” he said. “You can go through an entire week and never really break a sweat.” Jones also discussed nutrition, hydration and energy drink consumption, admitting he still struggles with cravings and maintaining consistent eating habits. He described battling cycles of dieting, emotional eating and relying on caffeine for energy. Despite those setbacks, Jones said he remains committed to reaching his next goal of dropping below 280 pounds and eventually reaching 250. “I’m going to break into the 270s,” he said. “I’m going to try.” Jones also encouraged listeners to consult medical professionals, monitor their health and consider resources such as fitness centers, physical therapy and hormone testing if needed. He stressed that while gyms and wellness clinics can help, the most important step is simply becoming more active. “Go for a walk. Stretch. Move,” Jones said. “Do something.” More than anything, Jones said his motivation comes from wanting to keep up with his children, spend time outdoors with his wife and continue enjoying life without constant pain. “I want to be able to go hiking with my family and not feel like it’s the death of me,” he said. “I finally feel better, and I want other people to feel that too.” Listen to this podcast anywhere podcasts are available.
