Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristopher Davis
Hi Kristopher, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Yes, I can. So, my journey started around 2015 -2016 when I pursued social media and became an influencer and content creator. From there, I would be on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, and I would take a liking to the forefounders of health and wellness and fitness gurus. I wanted to get into visual storytelling via social media as the men and women who would tell their stories on YouTube. I connected with Mario Devon, who lives in Nashville, TN, and we exchanged info. He was doing photography, and I was starting my social media journey, and that’s where I created the vision and started my storytelling online. A couple of years went by, and I was working at Volvo in Vyhalial, MS, driving a forklift, and I asked myself, “How can I do this myself?” It planted a seed that I needed to go to the mecca of where everything is, and that was when I realized I needed to go to Los Angeles, CA. I wanted to learn how to pursue a creative career fully. At that time, I found out I had a relative in LA, and we crossed paths on FB. He told me that I needed to be in LA, where the talent is, and to showcase my creativity, and he offered me to come to stay so I could start my career as a full-time creative.
Leading up to 2018, my cousin reached out to me and told me to come to LA, and I could stay with him until I figured everything out, that’s when I resigned from my job and moved to LA in 2019. Placing myself in the center of content creating, modeling, etc., is when I started to gain experience from being around individuals at Golds Gym in Venice Beach, CA. I would travel and learn different cultures, and from that, I would combine what I learned, being in multicultural environments and creating my own creative space. Gathering the expertise of being an in-person personal trainer in TN and gathering clients located in LA as my career continues to grow, I then launched the platform to reach others around the world with online coaching, and I started to develop a fan base of individuals that was located globally for my online coaching platform. With my content creation experience, I worked with multiple large brands like Golds Gym, Culture Kings, Luggs, Stacey Adams, Fashion Nova, Vitamin Water, JBL audio, and other companies, along with one national commercial with Vodka.
Today, I am the owner/ CEO of Acktiv Lifestyle 1:1 Coaching, Acktiv Supp, and I’m a successful content creator and social media influencer. I still model for major brands, I create space for other individuals to showcase their creativity, and I bring people together. I am a father of two beautiful girls, and I take pride in creating a life I know they would be proud of.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. There have been many obstacles and challenges. It’s a competitive industry and you have to be in a constant state to learn, adapt, and grow to be successful in this industry.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a visual storyteller, coach, social media influencer, and content creator. I am known for my creativity, recognizing it within others, bringing people together, and creating meaningful content. I am most proud of my creative vision and how I can see it and make it come to life. What sets me apart from others is my unique combination of authenticity, innovation, and dedication to personal and client growth. It also combines my faith, action, and an unrelenting commitment to excellence, inspiring those around me to push beyond their limits and achieve lasting success.
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Without risk, there’s no reward. Taking risks is essential for growth. I believe that calculated risks are the foundation of achieving greatness. While many fear failure, I see risk as an opportunity to learn, evolve, and discover untapped potential. To me, playing it safe often means settling for less than you’re capable of, and I live by the mindset that progress only comes when you step outside of your comfort zone.
But the biggest risk wasn’t just financial or professional—it was personal. I risked being misunderstood or judged by embracing authenticity and sharing my vulnerabilities. I put myself out there, not just as a coach, but as someone willing to show the struggles and sacrifices that come with building a brand and living a purpose-driven life.
The real risk lies in standing still. I know that by avoiding risks, you risk stagnation and missing out on what could be life-changing opportunities. My life and career are proof that taking bold steps, fueled by faith and hard work, leads to extraordinary results.
