About Jessi Duley<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\nShe’s been one of the PDX areas top entrepreneurs for years and has had the privilege of earning other notable rankings including being named to the 40 under 40 lists but what really makes her tick?<\/span><\/p>\nBurnCycle<\/a><\/u><\/em> founder Jessi Duley blazes through the health and fitness space like a meteor of unstoppable vitality. \u201cI have an abundance of energy, and 99 percent of it is positive,\u201d she says. \u201cMy gift to this world is my energy.\u201d She\u2019s just revving up to become one of <\/em>Lululemon Athletica<\/a><\/u><\/em>\u2019s community ambassadors in NW Portland.
