In this week’s episode of the podcast, I sat down with someone you’ve already met before (in fact, he was one of the first people I interviewed on my podcast, specifically in episode 51), the amazing Mark Schulman.

Mark is a world-class drummer and motivational speaker. He has played with rock n’ roll royalty, manning the drum chair for everyone from Billy Idol, to Foreigner, Sheryl Crow, Cher, Stevie Nicks, Beyonce, and many other familiar names. He’s also done four world tours with P!nk over the course of fifteen years.

Suffice to say, this is a man with a lot of experience in the music industry. 

Mark has also been presenting keynote addresses to corporate clients over the years, and his current presentation, “Hacking the Rockstar Attitude,” is a huge hit with companies like Dell, Genentech, IBM, Citi, Cisco, Walmart, and many others.

In this episode, Mark and I discussed his lifelong battle with tinnitus and hearing loss, his shift from being a touring drummer to a keynote speaker, why attitude is the foundation of success, the importance of embracing change, and more.

Mark also shares a sensational story about auditioning for Cher which I’m sure you’ll love.
