Discipline: A Coaching Conversation with Kristen O’Shea

In this episode, Brandon chats with Kansas State Senator and founder of O’Shea Strengths Coaching, Kristen O’Shea, to unpack the surprising superpower of Discipline.

This isn’t just a conversation about getting things done. It’s about the beautiful art of balancing control and adaptability.
