A different kind of active retiree.

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.

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.

Two careers. One philosophy.
