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.

Can Small Commitments Really Change Everything?
Your brain doesn’t care if a habit helps you or harms you—it just loves the loop. In this episode, Sam dives into why we stay stuck in patterns that don’t serve us, and how to begin rewiring your brain to create better ones. From taking out the trash to building new neural pathways, discover how small commitments build confidence, momentum, and self-respect. If you’ve ever struggled to keep promises to yourself, this episode will show you how to start changing that today.
