Since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by stories—not just the 'what,' but the 'how.' How lives change, how moments unfold. I realized the answers aren’t always in books—they’re with people. That’s why I started this show: to uncover the extraordinary in the everyday, one story at a time.

Welcome to the June 2025 episode of ACTV’s Storytellers, where we spotlight Anderson County residents making a difference in their communities. In this special sixth episode, we break new ground by welcoming our very first married couple to the Storytellers stage: Lisa Harrison Smith and David Smith.
Lisa, a vibrant creative spirit and former high school English teacher, now channels her passion into LHS Photography, where each photo tells a poetic story. David, her Maverick counterpart, helps lead the charge at Clinch Valley CrossFit, the fitness community they co-own. Together, they balance family life, entrepreneurship, and community service—proving that Dragons and Mavericks not only can coexist but can thrive side by side.
From capturing the fleeting beauty of life behind the lens to inspiring strength inside the gym, Lisa and David share their journey of purpose, grit, laughter, and connection.
Don’t miss this heartfelt conversation with two of Anderson County’s most inspiring storytellers.
