The Forward Theory
Confidence doesn’t come first—movement does.
The Forward Theory is a podcast about building self-belief through action.
Hosted by writer, runner, and mindset geek Sam Abousalbi, each episode explores the feedback loop that changed everything:
Movement → Confidence → Momentum → More Confidence → Movement.
If you’re feeling stuck, stalled, or like you’re always starting over, this show will help you shift your mindset, rebuild trust in yourself, and start creating real momentum one step at a time.
You don’t need to be ready. You just need to move.
