Building through every transition.
I'm Mike Locatis. At 68, I traded accumulation for intention — and I'm building more than ever. This is the nexus of everything I'm working on.
At the nexus of experience and reinvention.

Why now
At 25, losing a job is a detour. At 55, fewer than six in ten displaced workers are back at work — and most who land, land for less. It’s not elimination. It’s reshaping — and reshaping rewards the liquid, the networked, and the still-learning.
Layer 1 Agriculture
I'm co-founder of L1A — the farm-level risk-data layer that agentic finance is waiting for. An API and Chainlink oracle that lets lending protocols, insurers, and tokenization platforms price agricultural risk on-chain.
