In the middle of Minneapolis, William Lively has become a real trailblazer. He mixes finance know-how with a big heart for helping people. As the guy who started and still runs EXtrance, a fresh fintech company, he has changed how folks invest in commercial real estate. He uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain in smart ways. But money is not the only thing that drives him. Through the William M. Lively Foundation, he works hard to lift up regular Minnesotans. He pushes for better schools, more jobs, and stronger neighborhoods.
