Hardly Initiated Hosts Tysean Jackson and Ryan Catchings Dish on Dating And Kingdom-Minded Leadership And More

In their debut in-person live experience podcast, Tysean Jackson and Ryan Catchings, hosts of the #1 Men’s Growth Podcast Hardly Initiated, brought their transformative platform to Dr. Cindy Trimm’s End Your Year Strong event. The duo had free rein to interview notable attendees, including Chanel E. Martin of KBN Magazine, in a series of on-site conversations about faith, leadership, and personal growth. Known for their profound discussions on wellness, wealth, and women, Tysean and Ryan used this opportunity to highlight their Kingdom-minded journeys.

During their conversation with Chanel, Tysean discussed his ongoing transition into a Kingdom-focused lifestyle, particularly in the context of relationships. He emphasized the importance of spiritual alignment, noting how shared routines like reading scripture and intentional conversations ensure that both partners grow together in faith. “As I’m making adjustments in my life, I’m ensuring my partner is evolving with me,” he shared.

Ryan reflected on his personal transformation, detailing how abstaining from casual sex and substance use helped him gain clarity and align his life with purpose. “Once you become sober for God, you start thinking clearly,” Ryan explained. “When you’re clear, you can take action on your vision, prioritize relationships, and truly lead.” His candid remarks underscored the importance of self-discipline and how it sets the foundation for meaningful leadership.

The hosts also shared how their Kingdom-minded approach has shaped the success of Hardly Initiated. Tysean described their podcast as deeply mission-oriented, rooted in meeting people where they are. “We’re not presenting perfection but inviting others to grow with us,” he said. This transparency has become a hallmark of their brand, resonating with audiences who value their openness about struggles and triumphs.

Ryan expanded on this idea, encouraging aspiring podcasters and creators to embrace vulnerability and reject the need for perfection. “Remove the requirement that you have to be an expert to start,” he advised. “Our curiosity has been our superpower, enabling us to have authentic and impactful conversations that stand out in the space.”

One of the key themes from their debut live experience was the importance of overcoming fear. Ryan described fear as a “call to action” and urged others to move toward the things that make them uncomfortable. “When you look at fear as an invitation to grow, you realize it’s exactly where you need to go,” he shared. Tysean echoed this sentiment, explaining that stepping outside their comfort zones—like hosting this live event—has fueled both their personal and professional growth.

As Hardly Initiated continues to expand, Tysean and Ryan remain steadfast in their mission of guiding others through faith, discipline, and authenticity. Their advice for success in 2025? Prioritize purpose, embrace transparency, and don’t let fear dictate your decisions. “Transparency is what connects us to our audience,” Tysean noted. “It’s about showing people that we’re all climbing out of struggles together.”Their first-ever in person  live podcast experience at End Your Year Strong stands as a testament to the power of faith, leadership, and genuine connection. With their Kingdom-focused vision and dedication to hosting impactful conversations on wellness, wealth, and women, Tysean and Ryan are inspiring others to rise to their highest potential and step into 2025 with clarity, purpose, and confidence.
