In this episode of The Beast of Burden Podcast, Paul Bassett answers a listener question: how can you be a positive influence on someone else’s health — a partner, friend, or family member — without nagging or losing your own focus?

Drawing from real coaching experiences at Hounds of Health in Wandsworth, Paul explores what it really means to lead by example, hold your boundaries, and create change through your actions rather than your words.

He talks about:

Why you must “put your own oxygen mask on first” before helping others

How your habits and consistency shape your kids, partner, and friends

Why shame never works, but quiet leadership does

How to set healthy boundaries that inspire, not alienate

What to do when the people around you resist your progress

A thoughtful episode for anyone trying to live better and bring others along for the ride.
