We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Tanisha Smith a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Tanisha , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
To enhance our communication, my husband and I utilized a couples app. This application operated in a manner where both individuals would answer questions, and the responses would only be revealed once both parties had provided their answers.
Using this app proved to be a valuable revelation for us. It reminded us that as we grow, our preferences and interests may evolve, and we need to revisit those discussions from time to time.
In addition, I observed a scarcity of activities tailored specifically for couples, causing difficulty in finding enjoyable experiences with my husband. This motivated me to conceive an exclusive venture in Atlanta, catering to couples and daters. My vision was to create a stimulating atmosphere that would foster meaningful conversations and offer educational experiences through a range of activities. The initial event I organized for a close friend turned out to be a resounding success, affirming the potential benefit for other couples as well. Subsequent events have continued to grow in size and quality, exceeding expectations each time.
Tanisha , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Hello, my name is Tanisha, but I am commonly known as “Teach”. I am a sociable and friendly individual who thrives on networking and meeting new people.
My brand, ATL Trivia Night, embodies this very essence. It serves as an environment for networking, allowing couples to connect with others in the local community and cultivate deep personal relationships.
What sets our events apart is their inclusivity. We strive to create an atmosphere where even the most reserved individuals feel welcome. This is accomplished through icebreakers and interactive stations, facilitating effortless conversations with strangers.
We cater to a diverse audience, including those new to dating, couples in long-term relationships, and married couples. Additionally, we organize occasional singles mixers throughout the year. However, our primary focus remains on couples, curating intimate events with activities designed to reignite the spark in their relationships. We promote discussions and healthy debates to navigate through typical couples’ scenarios. Our events provide a comfortable space to openly discuss relationship topics with like-minded individuals.
Through our events, we have witnessed firsthand the positive impact on communication and bonding within relationships. We provide fresh ideas and perspectives, enhance social skills, and challenge the status quo, reinforcing the vitality of our attendees’ relationships.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
I have built my reputation in the market by remaining true to myself and my brand. I am not merely a person hiding behind a screen; I actively participate, engage, network, and, most importantly, show support.
Upon meeting me, people quickly realize that there is no pretense or exaggerated lifestyle being projected. I genuinely embody the same persona both online and offline.
By actively supporting other events, businesses, and organizations, I have noticed a reciprocal relationship where they, in turn, support me.
