Who Am I?
Hello, I’m Ian King. My life in Los Angeles is a tapestry woven from diverse threads of passion, professional endeavors, and personal interests. As a non-practicing attorney, real estate investor, and community enthusiast, I have dedicated myself to enhancing the quality of life in this vibrant city. I’d love to share with you the journey that has shaped my various ventures and interests, from art and spirituality to real estate and human connection. I share a beautiful home in Studio City with my fiancee.
My Artistic Passion: The Los Angeles Art Collective
Art has always been a cornerstone of my life. I believe that art has the power to inspire, heal, and connect people. That’s why I co-founded the Ian King Los Angeles Art Collective with some close friends and fellow art enthusiasts. This public collective was born out of a desire to make art accessible to everyone, free of charge. We organize regular events like art walks in the Arts District, where we explore hidden gems and marvel at street art and galleries. We’ve showcased stunning murals by Shepard Fairey and immersive installations by Yayoi Kusama. Our workshops often feature local artists who share their creative processes and stories, fostering a deeper appreciation for the arts within our community.
Real Estate: Los Angeles Homes
My journey in real estate began with a fascination for architecture and urban development. Through Los Angeles Homes by Ian King, my real estate business, I’ve had the pleasure of helping clients find their dream homes and making wise investment choices. I currently own six properties, spread across diverse neighborhoods like Studio City, Beverly Hills, Silver Lake, and Santa Monica. My portfolio also extends to Orange County and Las Vegas, showcasing a range of properties from luxury estates to charming bungalows. Real estate is more than a business to me; it’s a way to connect people with spaces where they can create lasting memories.
Promoting Joy and Laughter: Laughing 4 Love
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt a profound need to address the isolation and disconnection that many were experiencing. This led to the creation of Laughing 4 Love, an organization dedicated to resolving conflicts through laughter and love. We host events like laughter yoga sessions in Griffith Park and comedy nights at local clubs, bringing people together to share joy and build positive connections. The group’s mission is simple: to use humor and affection to heal rifts and foster a supportive community. Visit the website here: https://www.iankinglosangeles.lol/
Reconnecting LA: Los Angeles Life Connection
The pandemic also highlighted the importance of human connection, prompting me to establish Ian King Los Angeles Life Connection. This social organization aims to reconnect Angelenos who have grown accustomed to isolation. Our membership is wonderfully diverse, including high-powered executives, creative professionals, and everyday citizens. We host monthly mixers at iconic spots like The Grove, cultural outings to the Getty Villa, outdoor adventures in Runyon Canyon, and wellness workshops in Silver Lake. Through these events, we encourage people to engage with one another and rebuild the social fabric of our city.
Embracing Spirituality
Spirituality is a vital part of my life. I integrate mindfulness practices into my daily routine and encourage others to do the same through workshops and retreats. Our wellness sessions often include meditation, holistic well-being practices, and discussions on mental health. These events, held in serene locations like the gardens of the Getty Villa or the beaches of Malibu, provide a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. My goal is to help others achieve a balanced and fulfilling life through spiritual growth and personal development.
Non-Practicing Attorney and Dispute Resolution
My legal background as a non-practicing attorney specializing in mediation and conflict resolution has equipped me with invaluable skills. Known as Los Angeles' Guru for dispute resolution, I help individuals and businesses resolve conflicts amicably, saving them time and money. Whether it’s a business dispute in Century City, a landlord-tenant issue in Westwood, or a neighborly spat in Hollywood Hills, I strive to find fair and satisfactory outcomes for all parties involved.
Socializing and Community Building
One of my greatest joys is bringing people together. I thrive on socializing and building community through my various ventures. From community picnics at Echo Park Lake to wellness workshops in Silver Lake, every event I organize is designed to foster connections and enhance the communal spirit of Los Angeles. These gatherings offer a platform for people to share experiences, build relationships, and create lasting memories. Check out Ian Mitchell King Los Angeles Live
LA's Future
Los Angeles is a city of endless possibilities, and I am deeply committed to making it a better place for everyone. Through my initiatives like the Los Angeles Art Collective, Los Angeles Homes, Laughing 4 Love, and Los Angeles Life Connection, I aim to enrich the lives of Angelenos and build a more connected, vibrant community. My journey is a testament to the power of passion, creativity, and human connection in transforming lives and fostering a sense of belonging.
In essence, my life’s work is about creating spaces—both physical and emotional—where people can connect, grow, and thrive. Whether through art, real estate, spirituality, or social engagement, I am dedicated to making Los Angeles not just a city, but a home for all its residents.
