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.

Do You Ever Ask Yourself, ‘What Am I Doing?’
Have you ever paused in the middle of pursuing your dream and wondered, “What am I doing?” This week, I explore that all-too-familiar moment of self-doubt, why your brain tries so hard to keep you safe (and stuck), and how you can embrace uncertainty to push through anyway. Listen for encouragement, insight, and the gentle reminder that your dreams are always worth another try — even when it feels messy.
