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.

The Forward Theory
Will you be the one that keeps going, even as everyone else quits?
You and 10 others start a 30-day content challenge, but only one of you makes it past day 30. Why do so many give up, and what separates those who succeed? Sam shares his personal stories of starting projects, facing doubts, and the raw truth about manifestation—it’s not enough to just visualize your dreams. The key is showing up every day, doing the work, and building confidence through movement. This episode breaks down the real grind behind creating a full-time passion and how you can develop the momentum to stick with it.
