About Larry Klosowski

Larry Klosowski is the founder and architect of Citrate Inc., which builds the Citrate network and Citrate Core. His conversation with MikeyG traces his path through a group home, cannabis businesses, partnerships and Web3 to work on distributed compute.

Larry Klosowski learned to read the rules while trying to leave a group home. The conversation follows his childhood, juvenile hall, hip-hop and cannabis work, then the partnerships and candor that shaped how he builds. Larry explains why people come before product and money, where he thinks Web3 lost its focus, and why compliance can create the authority to change the rules. He also discusses Citrate's distributed-compute ambitions for schools and communities as proposals, not completed outcomes. This episode was published September 19, 2026.
