Jodi Plecity
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
ATHLETE AT LIFE
Entrepreneur and businesswoman Jodi Plecity built 4 successful businesses: Intense LLC, Intense Trucking LLC, Intense Collision Center Inc, and Lakemode Liquors through mental fortitude, keen business strategy, and never-back-down work ethic. In the process, Jodi went through a complete life change – losing over 150lbs through diet and exercise, “finally understanding what it was like to be healthier and pain-free”, there she found the desire and motivation in helping others achieve the same success that she did.
Jodi’s education experience includes graduating from Valley City High School in Valley City, ND while continuing her education in Oak Harbor, WA where she received her Associates Degree. She was also employed in many different types of working environments, to include the SBA processing small business loans, PepsiAmercas in Human Resource Management and Integreon as a Project Lead, a leading global provider of legal outsourcing services.
Jodi also enjoys spending time with her nephew, volunteering helping those in need, attending inspirational learning events and connecting with the positive change-makers. Her personal activities include, cooking healthy for friends and family, power-lifting, reading, music, travel, learning martial arts and just relaxing on a beach somewhere soaking up the sun or anything that makes her a healthier person.
In the Spring of 2019, Jodi sold Lakemode Liquors, Headquarters in Osgood to Coburns while still maintaining ownership of her West Fargo location. With this sale, she reallocated her resources towards research into starting a non-profit foundation.
Currently, Jodi is working on developing Peoples Rising Academy to bring health and happiness to those who have suffered through physical medicine, nutrition, and rehabilitation.
