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.

Life happens! Due to a jury duty summons, and some friends in town, I was unable to record a new episode this week -- so I'm choosing an audience favorite on downtime, since that felt most appropriate. See you next week!
This week we discuss the importance of down time, and not scheduling every minute of your day with activity.
