We had the good fortune of connecting with Kyle Langdon-Weyrich and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kyle, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I embarked on the journey of founding Picture Esque with a clear purpose in mind. My primary goal was to establish a platform that would facilitate connections within the entertainment industry. In this fiercely competitive field, I firmly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to meet and collaborate, and I aimed to simplify this process for individuals.

Furthermore, my vision for Picture Esque extended beyond mere connectivity. I was driven by a commitment to build a business that was both sustainable and ethically responsible. I firmly hold the belief that businesses bear a responsibility to give back to the communities they serve, and I was determined to ensure that Picture Esque would be a positive force in the world.

As I laid the foundation for Picture Esque, several specific thoughts guided my efforts:

Uniqueness: I aspired to create a platform distinct from the myriad of entertainment websites available. Picture Esque was envisioned as a space where people could not only network but also find inspiration and gain valuable insights into the entertainment industry.

Inclusivity: Accessibility was paramount in my vision. I was resolute in my desire for Picture Esque to be a resource for everyone, regardless of their financial means or background. In essence, I aimed to support and empower individuals, including those who were newcomers to the industry.

While the journey to fully realize my vision for Picture Esque continues, I take pride in the progress we’ve achieved thus far. I hold a steadfast belief that Picture Esque possesses the potential to effect real and positive change in the world. I eagerly anticipate the unfolding chapters of our journey and the meaningful impact we can make in the future.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were visiting the vibrant LA and Orange County area for a week, I would curate an unforgettable itinerary that captures the essence of Southern California’s diverse culture and natural beauty. We’d start with a day at the iconic Venice Beach, exploring the boardwalk’s quirky shops and street performers. For lunch, we’d savor seafood tacos at “The Albright” on the Santa Monica Pier, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The following day, we’d venture to the heart of Los Angeles, visiting the Griffith Observatory to take in breathtaking city views. Afterward, a trip to the Getty Center’s world-class art collection would be in order. Dining at “Bottega Louie” in downtown LA, known for its delectable pastries and Italian cuisine, would round out the day.

Midweek, we’d escape to the serene beauty of Joshua Tree National Park for a day of hiking and stargazing. Returning to Orange County, we’d explore the vibrant art scene at the Laguna Beach Art Walk and indulge in fresh seafood at “The Deck on Laguna Beach.”

As the weekend approaches, a visit to Disneyland in Anaheim would be a must for an immersive dose of magic and nostalgia. The evening would be reserved for a sunset dinner at “The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel,” offering breathtaking oceanfront views.

To cap off the week, we’d explore the historic streets of Old Towne Orange, known for its antique shops and charming ambiance. A farewell brunch at “Bruxie” for gourmet waffle sandwiches would be the perfect send-off, leaving my best friend with cherished memories of our unforgettable week in LA and Orange County.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to my family, friends, and mentors, all of whom have played pivotal roles in my journey to success. Their unwavering love, support, and encouragement have been invaluable.

My family has been a constant source of strength, imparting essential values like hard work, resilience, and kindness. They’ve nurtured in me a love for continuous learning and a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact on the world.

My friends, my chosen family, have stood by my side through all of life’s ups and downs. They’ve been my confidants, sharing in my joys and providing a comforting presence during challenging times. I cherish their unwavering support and camaraderie.

My mentors have been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. Their generosity in sharing their knowledge and experiences has been transformative, continually pushing me to strive for the best version of myself. I’m profoundly grateful for their guidance and mentorship.

I also want to express my gratitude to my clients, who’ve entrusted me with the opportunity to apply my skills and knowledge to help them achieve their goals. Working with them has not only enriched my professional life but has also provided valuable insights into the world and self-discovery. Their trust and confidence mean the world to me.

I am acutely aware of how fortunate I am to be surrounded by such extraordinary individuals in my life.
