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.

P.S. Next week I'll be off celebrating my 40th birthday, so I'll instead be publishing an episode from my Super Awesome Mix podcast episode with Matt on my 12 songs that help me reflect on my 4 decades so far!
