On this episode of Best Seller TV, Mark Schulman co-author of The Attitude Equation: The Definitive Formula For Exceptional Life Outcomes sits down host Taryn Winter Brill to discuss the rockstar attitude and how shifting your attitude can lead to positive changes in your life. Schulman who is best known for his drumming talents and has toured for 32 years with acts such as PINK, Cher, Beyonce, and Billy Idol has now quit touring and turned his focus to speaking. He realized his stories were resonating with people more than his drum playing so he found his passion to share the philosophies he created and co-created to turn them into a speaking and writing career. The Attitude Equation is a compilation of stories from top performers in their industries and is based on the concept that Dr. Jim Samuels, co-author and mentor of Schulman's, created and that Mark has been the “conduit” to share it with others. The book focuses on the equation of A x B = C or “Attitude times Behavior equals Consequence”.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Keeping the Beat (ft. Mark Schulman)Legendary drummer and must-see speaker Mark Schulman on where music and leadership meetOPENING QUOTE:“I talk about how when I sit behind the drums, I don't just play the drums. I am the drums. And when I get up to give a speech, I don't just give a speech, I am the speech. I literally take on that persona and I allow myself to be selfless. And I'm always thinking, What can I do for you? What can I do for them? What can I do for the audience?”-Mark SchulmanGUEST BIO:Legendary drummer Mark Schulman has been the go-to drummer for Pink, Foreigner, Stevie Nicks, Beyonce, Cher, Sheryl Crow, and many more. He's been voted one of the top-three pop/rock drummers and been featured as a cover artist on Modern Drummer magazine. Now, he's also one of the most successful keynote speakers on the circuit, as well as a successful author. Links:WebsiteTwitterFacebookInstagramYouTubeLinkedInCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[8:00] - Discipline is DisciplineDrumming or speaking, the root is the sameSuccess in one discipline doesn't always translate to success in another. But for Mark, learning to be a great drummer and learning to be a great speaker depended on the same core principles— discipline, action, and refinement over time. Mark says he's always studying, always reading, and always looking for ways to improve his content and delivery. It's that same discipline that made him one of the world's great drummers. [13:12] - The Rock Star MindsetWhere confidence meets selflessnessBeing a rock star doesn't mean being a selfish diva. In fact, the great rock stars embody two great principles— utter confidence in who they are, and the recognition that what they provide is an act of service. When Mark's onstage, either behind a drum kit or a microphone, he's there to bring something magical to the audience. Anyone, from a fresh name in speaking to a longtime expert, can embody that rock star approach.[15:10] - Speaking to the OneMark's backstage moment of intentionWhile a speaker stands in front of a crowd of dozens, hundreds, or thousands, Mark says that you have to focus on each individual audience member. Before each event, he takes a moment backstage to remind himself that he's having a series of one-on-one conversations— not delivering a message to a monolithic crowd. This helps him connect on a personal level with each person that attends his events.[33:21] - Get On That StageMark's #1 piece of advice for budding speakersYou're early in your career. You've got some early momentum. Mark's advice? “It is really all about clocking the hours on stage. You need that experience. Any chance you get with a Rotary Club, with a Moose lodge, with a Masons or church group, temple, whatever— speak, speak, speak. Whether it's for free, whether it's for money…Nothing replaces that time on stage.”RESOURCES:[7:05] Conquering Life's Stage Fright, by Mark Schulman[9:24] Bruce Turkel[29:23] Pink's Record-Breaking TourFollow Mark Schulman:WebsiteTwitterFacebookInstagramYouTubeLinkedInFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Brought to you by eSpeakers, hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

His sensational drumming and brilliant communications skills have earned Dom Famularo a reputation of being the world's leading motivational drum set artist / educator. Through history-making tours of China and the Far East, and with standing ovations to capacity audiences at virtually every major drumming event in Europe and the Americas, this vibrant performer from Long Island, New York is renowned for delivering entertaining and awe-inspiring performances unlike any other.Tutored by legendary greats Joe Morello, Jim Chapin, Al Miller, Charlie Perry, Colin Bailey, Shelly Manne, Papa Jo Jones and Ronnie Benedict, Dom combines the masterful techniques of the past with the parameter-pushing concepts of today's music for a highly creative and uniquely personal style of drumming. With hands powered by the famous Moeller technique and feet dancing through high-speed double-pedal bass drumming patterns he delivers performances that dip and dive through dynamics and styles with energy and ease. The first Western drummer to perform clinics in China, Dom is accustomed to making headlines. He was a special guest performer at the first-ever Buddy Rich Tribute Concert, an event which he helped organize. He was a highlight as host and performer at the Pacific Rim Drum Invitational (the first drum event to be simulcast live on the Internet), and he's a primary attraction at star-studded drumming events such as the LaRioja Drumming Festival, Koblenz International Drummer Meeting in Germany, the Florida Drum Expo, the Paris Music Show, the massive Ultimate Drummers Day in Australia, the Heartbeat World Rhythm spectacle for Canadian TV, and the Montreal Drumfest.Dom doesn't rely on major band affiliations as a claim to fame, but performances with the Buddy Rich Big Band, B.B. King, Lionel Hampton, Chuck Leavell (Rolling Stones), T Lavitz (The Dixie Dregs), and the Louie Bellson Big Band reveal the pedigree of his playing. He has shared the stage with Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Simon Phillips, Billy Cobham, Bernard Purdie, Rod Morgenstein, Chester Thompon, Terry Bozzio, Will Calhoun, Deen Castronovo, Russ McKinnon, Chad Smith, Mark Schulman, Denny Carmassi, Liberty DeVitto and Jim Chapin in worldwide drumming events. In addition to large drumming expos and clinic tours, Dom is an active educator at colleges, drum schools and camps. He has performed at the Percussive Arts Society Convention (PASIC), Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) in Hollywood California, Drummers Collective in NY, KOSA Camp in Vermont USA, North Texas State University, the Graham Cole Percussion Camp in England, and Drummers Camp in the Black Forest of Germany and many others. In addition, he is an in-demand consultant to major music corporations, and serves as Education consultant for Sabian Cymbals, Vater Drum Sticks, Mapex Drums, Remo Drumheads, SE Microphones, and Wizdom Media for whom he oversees programs worldwide.Michael Leasure has held the drum chair in Walter Trout's band since 2008.Mike Leasure was born in Alhambra, California in 1968. He is the youngest of six children. He found his life's calling at the ripe old age of six while sitting in his mother's kitchen. His mother was doing the dishes while listening to the radio. At one point a Benny Goodman tune came on and the young boy, captivated by the drumming of Gene Krupa, picked up some pots and pans and began flailing away in accompaniment."Leasure made his debut as drummer for The Edgar Winter Band in March 2005. "I was nervous and the sound check didn't go all that well. But once we all walked out on stage, everything just kind of fell into place." Leasure played 50 shows with Winter in 2005 & 2006. Michael has worked with Guitar Phenom Philip Sayce for the past six years and is currently touring the world this summer with Blues/Rock legend, Walter Trout.

We talk shop with Litera's Vice-President of Sales for North America, Ashley Miller, including Litera's growth over the past few years, and how long it can stay in that Goldilocks' stage of being just the right size to be a big player, yet still nimble enough to pivot when needed. The recent Changing Lawyer Virtual Summit featured recognizable speakers like Richard Susskind and Seth Godin, but also had Litera's traditional outside the norm type speaker with Mark Schulman, rock drummer for the likes of P!nk and Cher. Miller zeroed in on something that Richard Susskind discussed at the conference about the changes in technology adoption in law firms during the pandemic. Are the advancements we've seen since March 2020 really innovation, or are they really just acceleration of automation designed to keep work afloat? Finally, we talk data and what is meant by the single source of truth when it comes to data. Are we all making informed decisions based on the same, accurate data? Ashley Miller then turns the tables on the hosts by asking where they see the single source of truth in data when it comes to how law firms are going to handle data in the future.

Have you ever caught yourself wondering if you’re the right person for the job? I’m talking about that feeling that eventually - everyone is going to figure out that you’re making it up as you go along. That questioning how you even found yourself in the position you are, doing the things that you’re doing? Wondering when (not if) anyones eventually going to ‘find you out’?And secondly - here’s the biggie - have these thoughts ever stopped you from shooting for something - or asking for something - that really mattered?Today’s topic is a deeply personal one for me...I know for me there has been countless times in my life, not just my career, where I’ve thought to myself “”? And now that you’re here, how on earth are you going to pull this off?” As a mum, a founder, a speaker, my inner voice can sometimes be deafening than the sound of the busy-ness, even louder than the sound of the triumph, can I probably don’t have enough fingers and toes to count how many times my inner voice has been loud enough to stop me at the last minute from taking a dive into something beautiful.That’s what makes today’s podcast guest and conversation, such a deeply personal one for me, because I know the grips that Imposter Syndrome has had on me in the past, and I’m sure for you as well, and So - as one of the first in the year - I went on a mission to find the No 1. Voice on the planet on imposter syndrome.Find we did - and her name is Valerie Young, Valerie has spoken at some of the world’s largest and most diverse organizations as Apple, Chrysler, Boeing, Microsoft, IBM, Facebook, BP, Google, TED - and the list just keeps going - as well as at over 85 colleges and universities including Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Oxford.I...:Just exactly how far-reaching the effects of imposter syndrome are - here’s a clue it doesn’t belong to an age group or a gender - in fact - the further up the tree you go - the more likely you are to deal with itWhat it can do, to even the most capable of people - and why it’s vital that we learn to deal with it or miss out on vast amounts of potentialThe tools to re-frame that voice in our heads when it appears - to literally take the ‘freeze effect’ and use it as fuelDeveloping new responses to failure and mistake making - this one has been huge for me this past year. Starting with my conversation with Mark Schulman - drummer for Pink and the phrase ‘Am I free to fail?’Why the belief that we are imposters relies on one fundamentally untrue assumptionAnd what to do when we feel that cycle of self-doubt kick inThis was one of those conversations, that started out for me - and hopefully will continue to gain traction as we start discussing - in more and more places - and certainly on this podcast - the stories that keep us small - in business, in society and in life - and ways to flip that narrative to make the largest contribution we’re capable of making.And that involves first believing that we deserve to be there.So grab your favorite biscuits, I’m all in on Tim Tams at the moment - make sure you’ve got your pen and paper handy - and let 2020 be the year you finally let that imposter go. Enjoy my conversation with - Valerie Young. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join me as we enter the autistic brain and we go in the deepness of the word "normal." What does normal mean exactly you might wonder? The answer is from the book Are You Normal by Mark Schulman and we will all find out what the word "normal" means together. 

In this episode, we are once again fusing the world of influence and rock n’ roll... However today’s question isn’t about what it takes to show up like a rock star - when all eyes are on you – and the stakes feel sky scraper high - but instead what it takes to STILL show up like a Rockstar – when one seemingly ordinary morning you wake up – and your entire audience has disappeared.In order to do that I once again called upon the incredible Mark Schulman – author, speaker, insightful human being and well and truly at the top of the performance tree as the lead drummer for P!nk.Mark has performed for over 1 billion people - touring with world class performers such as Cher, Billy Idol, Simple Minds, Beyoncé and Tina Turner. He is also the author of the very fitting Conquering Life’s Stage Fright. In which he interviews global powerhouses like Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos), Jeremy Piven (Actor from the Entourage) and Alan Bean (Apollo 12 Astronaut) - in order to translate the magic of world-class performance. In other words what it takes to show up, reframe your fears and own what you’ve got with every cell in your body. Marks number one super power – other than drumming – is his ability to maintain what he describes as a Rockstar mindset. A belief that the attitude and energy levels we choose - are the PRIMARY fuel of any world class performance - and that everything - down to the phone call you just took - and the Tweet you’re about to send - is a form of performance.Today we pick right back up again where we left off – however this time in a whole new world. Diving straight into…Why ‘world class’ always begins where our comfort zones end”How your attitude is both your vantage (or disadvantage) pointMark’s favourite equation (and lets face it it’s not often you get to discuss mathematics with a Rockstar): A x B = C (Attitude x Behaviour = Consequence)How to embrace the fact that you always have the ability to respond – even (and especially) when situations feel out of your controlHow Mark had to take a huge dose of his own advice in 2020 – when all his events, concerts and sources of income were cancelled within 48 hoursWhy it’s not about WHAT (you say/play) but HOW (you say/play it) – in other words how you show up and embody the impact your trying to haveAnd why Clarity + Capability + Competence …. are three steps to top performanceWhat I want to you to reflect on while listening to our conversation is exactly that – if the lights came on, the music started - and tens of thousands of people were about to watch you perform. How would you show up? Now turn off the lights, take away the audience and remove any element of certainty you had about the future – could you show up just as hard?With that, I’ll leave you to soak up the most curious, unstoppable, infectious human being that I ever met.

Mark Schulman is the man big names call when they need someone to hold down the beat on tour, just ask Cher and P!nk. He joins the show today to talk about his career, the power of gratitude and attitude, how fear and excitement are linked and why a drummer high can get you thinking positively and more creatively. Join us for this gift of a conversation with the man P!nk nicknamed Disneyland.   Key Takeaways [1:30] Nick welcomes Mark to the show and asks him to talk a bit about what he's been doing this year despite the pandemic and 2020 being a year “off” from touring with P!nk for the last 13 years. He touches on what working with P!nk looks like. [5:50] Mark is one of the few artists born and raised in Los Angeles, he shares the story of when he saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan at two years old which led to playing the drums — his first professional gig at 12! — by way of a cello. [9:49] Meeting Ringo left Mark speechless, he also shares the very emotional story of when he met Sir Paul McCartney.   [12:53] A pivotal moment in Portland, Mark talks about a failed audition that led to him making two promises to himself: 1. No one would ever tell him to speed up or slow down except himself and 2. He would transform his fear into confidence. He spent the next two years working on his internal meter and taking charge of his journey. [18:57] So when do people just start coming to you, your name is made and there is no more auditioning? Never. He shares a series of stories where he still had to prove himself after having proven himself: be proactive! [25:20] Mark speaks about the Three C's: clarity, capability, and confidence that are highlighted in his first book and that led to him taking the lead and building real confidence. [27:10] Working with Cher comes with a few anecdotes. From D2K to Las Vegas Mark recounts his time working with Cher. [30:02] Mark figured out years ago how to create humility and keep himself in check. He speaks to the serious and undervalued job of the crew and shares something Billy Idol said to him that still resonates to this day. [34:06] How do you hone an intense 90-minute focus? When Mark drifts — we all do — he pulls himself back. He also meditates every morning. [36:17] From drum clinics to activating to writing books, Mark talks about the transition he made towards his different business ventures. He shares his formula for success — attitude changes behavior which in turn influences life outcomes — as well as a few quick tips to change your own attitude quickly. [47:25] Who is Mark listening to these days? [50:33] Nick thanks Mark for his energizing presence and for coming on the podcast to share so very much of himself and his story. Thanks for listening!

< 20:12 > Effective leaders empower the people they lead. Too much 'telling' is autocratic and dictatorial, and doesn't serve those they lead. Being a good listener is a trait of an effective leader. When people feel heard, they feel empowered. Great leaders empower the capability of everyone around them. When things go well, they let others take the credit, yet when things go wrong, are willing to take responsibility. TALKING POINTS: ·      ATTITUDE X BEHAVIOUR = CONSEQUENCES Attitude drives behavior; consciously shift your attitude and drive different behaviors to produce more desirable consequences ·      Why are some people self-motivated, (others not)? ·      Can you learn to be more self-motivated? ·      We can't always control what happens to us, but we can choose our attitude towards it. ·      A.B.C. – Attitude shifts Behavior which produces Consequences ·      You can drive motivation by shifting your attitude ·      Gratitude is an attitude shift ·      The value of recognizing opportunities. (Many people miss opportunities.) ·      Purpose generates passion, and passion is motivating. ·      Get deeply in touch with why we do something – that's where motivation comes from. ·      If passion starts to wane, the 'why' is the thread keeping it together. ·      Entrepreneurs frequently say they failed really big. The key is to use failure as an opportunity to learn and drive more growth and opportunity ·      See, taste and smell the end goal. ·      It comes down to how you spend your time and who you spend your time with. ·      You don't have to be the first, you just need to be the most tenacious!  ·      The power of motivation; hacking a rockstar attitude. People feel most fulfilled when they contribute to something. Great leaders are the ones that nurture others to bring out the best in them. To retain great people in the workplace, make them feel great, make them feel valuable, make them feel like they contribute to something bigger than themselves. === Mark Schulman, a rockstar legend in the music world, tours as drummer for P!NK.

Be sure to check out the video of this podcast at https://youtu.be/rBzCQHhn860 In Episode 17, K Bo, Amy, and Duke take advantage of a special opportunity to sit down with three of the hottest in-demand drummers in the business; Todd Sucherman (Styx), Van Romaine (Enrique Iglesias), and, Mark Schulman (Pink). Cumulatively, these three household names have performed in many of the world's largest arenas, recorded on hundreds of records, and, worked with many international acts. Additionally, the members of this special trio have been the recipients of many awards for achievement and recognition in their trade. Admittedly, getting three artists of this magnitude together in one session would ordinarily be very difficult, however, the unusual circumstances surrounding the music business (and society in general) made this sit down possible and, very unique. So join us as we explore a different (and more casual) side to these iconic timekeepers. We also delve into some other projects that Messrs. Sucherman, Romaine, Schulman are venturing into away from the drum kit. The trio gets to share some laughs and reflect on some of the things that have occurred throughout their time on the road as well as the highly unusual, extended time away from touring.

Greetings everyone, my name is Julie Masters and welcome to another episode of Inside Influence. In which I delve into the minds of some of the world’s most fascinating influencers – or experts in influence - to get to the bottom of what it really takes to own your voice - and then amplify it to drive an industry, a conversation, a movement or a nation.____________________________________________________________________________Have you ever caught yourself wondering if you’re the right person for the job? I’m talking about that feeling that eventually - everyone is going to figure out that you’re making it up as you go along. That questioning how you even found yourself in the position you are, doing the things that you’re doing? Wondering when (not if) anyones eventually going to ‘find you out’?And secondly - here’s the biggie - have these thoughts ever stopped you from shooting for something - or asking for something - that really mattered?Today’s topic is a deeply personal one for me...I know for me there has been countless times in my life, not just my career, where I’ve thought to myself “”? And now that you’re here, how on earth are you going to pull this off?” As a mum, a founder, a speaker, my inner voice can sometimes be deafening than the sound of the busy-ness, even louder than the sound of the triumph, can I probably don’t have enough fingers and toes to count how many times my inner voice has been loud enough to stop me at the last minute from taking a dive into something beautiful.That’s what makes today’s podcast guest and conversation, such a deeply personal one for me, because I know the grips that Imposter Syndrome has had on me in the past, and I’m sure for you as well, and So - as one of the first in the year - I went on a mission to find the No 1. Voice on the planet on imposter syndrome.Find we did - and her name is Valerie Young, Valerie has spoken at some of the world’s largest and most diverse organizations as Apple, Chrysler, Boeing, Microsoft, IBM, Facebook, BP, Google, TED - and the list just keeps going - as well as at over 85 colleges and universities including Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Oxford.I...:Just exactly how far-reaching the effects of imposter syndrome are - here’s a clue it doesn’t belong to an age group or a gender - in fact - the further up the tree you go - the more likely you are to deal with itWhat it can do, to even the most capable of people - and why it’s vital that we learn to deal with it or miss out on vast amounts of potentialThe tools to re-frame that voice in our heads when it appears - to literally take the ‘freeze effect’ and use it as fuelDeveloping new responses to failure and mistake making - this one has been huge for me this past year. Starting with my conversation with Mark Schulman - drummer for Pink and the phrase ‘Am I free to fail?’Why the belief that we are imposters relies on one fundamentally untrue assumptionAnd what to do when we feel that cycle of self-doubt kick inThis was one of those conversations, that started out for me - and hopefully will continue to gain traction as we start discussing - in more and more places - and certainly on this podcast - the stories that keep us small - in business, in society and in life - and ways to flip that narrative to make the largest contribution we’re capable of making.And that involves first believing that we deserve to be there.So grab your favorite biscuits, I’m all in on Tim Tams at the moment - make sure you’ve got your pen and paper handy - and let 2020 be the year you finally let that imposter go. Enjoy my conversation with - Valerie Young. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

You know, I'm having a lot of fun with bringing so many different guests on here. So this would be a little bit of a twist. Today I'm bringing on you know, a musician from the Nashville scene and, you know, so I'm sure I'm gonna bust his chops about being a drummer. So that'll be fun. I'm sure he's caught his entire career but you know, so I'm bringing on Rich Redmond. I'm Donnie Boivin. This is Donnie success champions Rich buddy Welcome to the show, my friend. I've played drums for 42 years. I'm originally from Milford, Connecticut. So I'm a little New England boys and the first 10 years of my life there fell in love with the drums my dad ended up moving to El Paso Texas when I was 11. He did that for 20 years and he ran the factories that made Victoria's Secrets underwear. Ladies just sewing underwear all day across the border. And then and so that was a great thing for me because Texas has a strong culture of music education, the great state of music, education, very healthy scenes. So I kind of, you know, nurtured My, chops, and my musicianship there ended up going and getting a master's degree from the University of North Texas, the Eagles you know, those are actually the Eagles were formed. Then in 1997 I moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and so I'm celebrating I don't know 23 years so of navigating the Music City, USA and so yeah, and so, since day one, I've been playing drums for a country rocker Jason Aldean. Just, I just celebrated playing drums on 25 number one songs which are really fun. We're working on our 19th record, I should know. Finishing that up, and then we'll have enabled and had a nice tour this year. Then we'll probably get into some other things. But I just have embraced the entertainment and education fields and I do some speaking. I author I, I do a little voiceover and little acting out here in Hollywood. I like to mentor and educated from camps, produce records, write songs, I'm in the game of entertainment and just have just love and light and that is awesome. That's awesome. I mean, Louis last night, I went to my niece, she plays saxophone or high school. And they this whole for a program that started off I did the drum corps. Yeah, that's what I was going through high school. You know, you know, a couple of guys banging on drums. Nowadays. It's like an entire flipping show. It's insane what they're doing with you and these kids into it, it was that you know how you could jump to this whole thing with your high school into the game? Yeah, it was a fifth grade I was actually in 1976 or 77. I was you know, six, seven years old and I was listening to kiss records and may I was restless my parents got me drum lessons I was studying with a guy in Connecticut and so I got some skills together and so then when I was enough hasn't tenses and they join the fifth grade band was already headed the other kids, but I knew that while I have this cool skill, it was an icebreaker people were interested in he was a way to be socially acceptable, you know, and that awkward period of your life especially when going into high school and stuff. And so it was great. It was you know, it was my calling, I recognize that and 93 police came out with a record called synchronicity and then the very next year, Van Halen came out with a smoking Angel on the cover of a record called nice name for and I just resonated with me and I said, this is what I'm going to do with my life and then I didn't know About Malcolm Gladwell and the 10,000. Our theory of mastering a craft Matter of fact is so funny. I was in my favorite West Hollywood eatery the other night, and I don't get starstruck, but Malcolm Gladwell was ordering a drink next. He's a very unique looking individual. But, you know, five best sellers. I mean, his books they just full meaning, you before you know, you've learned so much the book is over. What what I'm a big fan out over that I wanted to be like Malcolm high five. You're not supposed to do when you read but I didn't. I just walked away. I left them. But I didn't know about the 10,000-hour theory at that time, but was, you know, I was passionate about it. So when you know you're passionate about something, it's so easy to work hard, and the harder you work the more successful in attracting yourself. So I have already had those wheels in motion roses, living and breathing drums and I continued that all the way you know, never missed a meal man. You know, I mean, there were some hard times and you know, I had some rough day jobs. I was a courier. I did construction. I was a waiter. I was a kindergarten teacher, substitute teacher and schlepped drums around all around the planet and lugging suitcases. I figured recently that I haven't unpacked my suitcase and 22 years I've been living out of a suitcase The only time I truly unpack is when is when at the end of the year or currencies and as usual over in October and I'll and I'll literally I will just take everything out of the suitcase and put everything away even though I know I'm going to be putting things back in there to go do freelance things are speeches, but I touring cycle now has become like the beach or April through October, which is wonderful. We do about 60 shows a year. But we used to do 225 shows early days about being like in 2004 2005 2006 we lived on the road was just it was incredible. And then that's a wild lifestyle to I mean, so how did you go into the national scene and how did you hook up with Jason Aldean? I mean, was it a tryout, was it a call? Or would you guys just have me drinking the same bar? And so let's put this together. Yeah, it's funny to hear people's stories and see how they're 16. Another success comes together, but it's the perception of the music business, is that it's an audition based industry. And I think that, you know, 99% of your guests are going there that are all speaking on success, are going to say it's about human relationships and interacting with the owner, championing each other and lifting each other up and having birds of a feather come together and I was playing in a band with a guy named Kurt Allison, who was our guitar player to this day. And so I've been playing with him for 23 years. I had a gig with him and his dad in a band called The Blues, other brothers and we had like a review. We did like Motown, Stax Records, kind of things. I'm working, you know, Dennis, Dennis, that, all that stuff and then he introduced me to this guy named Kelly Kennedy to who's our bandleader and our bass player to this day, totally Kennedy's Uncle was was writing songs at Warner Chappell Music. Michael Knox was the VP at Warner Chappell music and who is Jason's producer to this day? Michael said we need a band totally said Kurt you know a drummer champion me we brought the three of us together and it's like you know can invert you put your peanut butter and chocolate just worked in like to this day you know i don't know we had I guess when I too many Irish Coffee is what we call ourselves to three kings and him kind of branded ourselves that way about those three knuckleheads that went every were together for a decade and we ended up just playing with Jason Aldean become great friends which are not being so it was. Yeah, I think I had to have it was there was a loose audition which means learning material going in knowing the material it was given. I was going to do a good job for them. I did a good job for them but they wanted to see if I can, if we can all you know it was going to link me because when you're living this lifestyle, your arms Stage, maybe two hours a day and there's another 22 hours a day that you're writing a 45 foot two. And you're sleeping on airport floors and, and I'm about to put out a book next month called Crash Course for success and literally one of the photos is all of us crashed out on the airport floor. And the and the caption is, you know, touring is hell sleep cycle. That's kind of how that all came together man and a very organic human relationship based way. And the music industry is not for the faint of heart. It's you know, it's tough on relationships. It's been tough on health. So it's nice to be able to go through such an industry with like-minded people that you finish each other's sentences and you're part of each other's you know, wedding parties and look for sharing it almost like five presidencies later and met a few gray more gray hairs later too. And yeah, this is my choice and I was I had Lot of wives and girlfriends that were a hairstylist and so it was pretty easy to get my hair pink and black. Right? On vacation recently I just said I'm gonna let this go. And when they fill my wife, man, I'm not getting gray hair thing. This is Chrome is. But you know and a lot of people look at like the music industry or the acting industry of all that and they always around this whole thought process of this overnight success type thing. And, you know, doesn't matter how many times you tell them an overnight success is a myth. Right? There's a lot of damn hard work is a lot of friggin late nights at airport floors and everything else. I mean, how long were you in the game before you felt like okay, I'm finally you know, in my rhythm and things are working. Yeah. Well, my story was I moved to Nashville on a Tuesday with a box of 400 cassette demos Rich Redmond percussion. And I was passing these things out everywhere and I had little before then you would have like a folder and it would have all your press clippings in it and it was so archaic and you know, I always had a, you know, a VISTA print business card that was a pretty savvy self-promoters still to the day, you know, no one is going to champion you like yourself and I want you as much as yourself. So you have to be polite, be persistent, and maybe have some luck along the way, but luck is just being prepared for those opportunities, and also giving yourself a shot to be successful in the music business people like can I do this from Des Moines, Iowa Can I do this from Tallahassee Florida know you can really only be in three places you know, and New York City really has kind of become you know, you do Broadway and then you can play weddings, environments were you know, make pretty good money. live out in Long Island come into the City, Los Angeles, you know, I'm here a lot. I have a love affair with Los Angeles like your business out here. But if you're not doing music for TV and film, and you don't have a big touring gig, the actual music scene Los Angeles really isn't the healthiest. And then you have a place like Music City, where people are like, Well, what about Austin, Texas? Austin's great. It's great there's a lot of great live music going on, but it doesn't have the big machine, the infrastructure of, okay, song was written at 10am on a Monday, that song has to be demoed up. And so there's a group of musicians that play on the demo, and it's a play on the record in a live band has to be put together and then around that you have tour managers, graphic designers, web designers, truck drivers, caterers that whole industry, there are so many jobs and handle feet and you need all those things to make that Taylor Swift show work and as she called her label big machine, because we have the big machinery that infrastructure that doesn't exist. But you know, and I'm glad you brought that up because a lot of people are looking at it as you know, I sing I played drums I play guitar, I'm just going to show up and it's going to happen. Yeah, you know, it's, it's a production. I like the term big machine. You know, it's really an amazing name, you know for, for the label but know your skill set is having an extremely an incredibly well put together cultivated skill set is an expectation. The other thing is giving yourself that chance to be successful, which is going to a place like Nashville, Tennessee, and then getting out and shaking hands and crashing parties and letting the world know you exist because there are some amazing drummers Are you better than me? They're playing their mind space. But you have to take your music to the people you have to connect with other people. Those gatekeepers, especially someone like a drummer is only as good as, as the people that are surrounded by a really strong and important and powerful position in a band. But usually, unless you're like a deep Grove was writing all the material, you know, we're only as good as the person that you're surrounding yourself with. So my story was I moved to Nashville on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday, I was I had a gig on Saturday night I was playing with like a corporate band and you know That you're playing, you know, jazz and the salads coming out. And then you're eating the main course and you're playing Motown by the end of the night everyone's been interrupted lip clapping on one and three and dancing to discuss something for the 70s. You know, and but that was great because that's what opened my door to my Nashville. You know, the family tree of shaking this person's hand, they champion me, they recommended me to someone else. And it's still happening to this day, and you're never done paying your dues, because I never want to be that guy that says, I've made it. I know everyone in the industry. There are new people coming to Nashville all the time. And what I do is I need that new talent. And now I'm on the other side of the business where you know, if you're a national long enough, eventually started writing software, producing records. I opened up my own record label, I have a record label 1225 label group. And so so now I can nurture you. Right and i and i, and through my eyes and my experiences, I can give them positive streets and be an artist, producer and Label Label. That's awesome. Well, keep your eyes and Fort Worth Texas because there's a lot of awesome local musicians coming out of here right now. Yeah. So, so, you know, what was it like, you know, up there performing with a guy like Jason Aldean and depending on some circles you love me or hate them you know you know what was it like being up there playing for massive crowds know live in that that rock star life with the spotlight the the craziness that happens on the road because I have some buddies in the game. I know some of the fun stories, but you know, what is that what it was? Was that like that experience like for you? And it's my happy place. I think that you know, I was, you know, had these calling these columns in life and you know, I think, my God my house, my higher power gave me this talent and I was respected enough to nurture it molded and then Be able to have that connective tissue, the connective tissue are all the guys in my band or allow us to express ourselves and I think music is one of our highest forms of communication to get you to know, it transcends all cultural barriers language barriers, and but know when I'm up there and Pyros going off and see I mean that is just like my goddess energy and receiving energy and I'm putting out energy and I always tell my students I say look if you want to send your energy not to the person per person there in the in the expensive see if they're already the true believers you have to go to the cheap seats in the guy that was dragged there by his girlfriend you make that guy who believes that my goal is to have that guy go home that was on the fence and no man has ever seen in my life. Have you got to say it that voice mail it was my attempt at a southern accent but no, it's it's I don't want to say that the drums to find me but it's such a it's such a calling when I'm when I see a set of drums even like I'm going to look up a nightclub or I'm at a wedding or something, there's a set of drums in the corner to focus on that man, I want to go play those drums. You know, it's just a, it's just calling so when I'm on stage, it's like Dude, I meant to do this and then it's like a drug and you're always looking for that next opportunity to do that. See? You same thing when you're speaking but that's how I feel when I'm on stage speaking is you know, you know it said that I want to hit the people that are in the back the one that was guys know that you know that the skeptics? Yeah, those are the ones that I love that it's a thing for you when you're here. Yeah, and for me, it's it for me when it comes to speaking. It's not so much the power of the words in the concepts I'm saying because my when I speak on my craft concept, commitment, relationships, attitude, skill, and hunger. It's basically a way of reminding people, yeah, you can have your corporate philosophies, you can have your, your PowerPoint, and you can get lost in all of this corporate stuff. But lets I just I'm there to remind them everything I need to know in life I learned in kindergarten. I know basically keep it simple and work on added do everything. You know, like, maybe a relationship or power or you know, I wrote an E-book called five keys, the drumming success, you know, so people can remember it. But for me, it's really like how I am articulating the message. It's almost people like what is your event of about? I said, Well, just picture like an animal from the Muppets. And Robin's means Jerry Lewis, right. So it's like, it's almost like I want to present this in like a very energetic fashion. I'm sweating. I'm pacing. I'm cracking jokes and playing the drums. And then I'm speaking to the drums and I'm speaking and so it's really it's like how I'm getting people that information because I don't know. We went Get people too much credit like I tell people all the time you know people hear music with their eyes most people don't know they're not really educated musically so so we have to give them a show give them or they can just listen to their mp3 right device and these little things right here it's like if you're going to spend all that money get a babysitter paying for parking grave the crowds by a $15 beer Dude, I'm going to make this a memorable experience. Well, and I hope everybody heard that because you have to, I mean, especially if you're going to make it in this day and age and whatever you're in, is I still remember there was an acapella show on TV. I one of the boys the men guys was one of the judges and it was a really really cool shit on there's a country music group that that one one of the episodes that's a completely acapella Country Music Group, Humphrey endings name the group but and, you know, I think was a second or third season. They had this colleague group on all acapella and they were The final episode and whoever won this episode one, the whole show. And the song was taking me to church, and it was done acapella. And, man, they had the littlest dude in their college. I mean, this guy if he was five-foot tall idea maze, and they said, No, we picked him to sing the solo in this because he's got that voice. Do this kid. I get goosebumps thinking about the kids singing. I mean, he's saying it and he, he left it all on the stage. And when he was done performing, then he dropped to his knees and pure exhaustion. That's how much you put into the song. I love it. And then that's stuck with me. Absolutely. I mean, even the voice and the game I wish I remember his name, but he was a judge looked at him because you know, that's why you just want because you put everything you had just in that song. But you know, I think it was Bon Jovi that said, you know, when you go on stage, you've got to perform like this is your last performance. So I always say that, yeah, go on stage. So this may be the very last time What do That's how I'm going out man. Right. But yeah, and just think about that amazing singer in a talent that he had and that commitment to his craft who knows he may be killing it in the industry right now from that initial push of success that he had with that show, or he could be back in the day job became still be moving back in and was parents I don't know. It's like, just having the talent is not enough. You have to mold it and then you have to get to a place and get this and gatekeepers that can actually allow allowing you to give you permission to do what you do. Because I've had some very successful people that I've known that have been raised every hair on my bottle of one girlfriend of mine that comes to mind that was just such an amazing singer and still is an amazing singer. But to create that emotional reaction from when I would play with her i would shed a tear every hair on my arm and stand up. So powerful and things really didn't work out to the extent that they should have and if there are so many other factors involved in cultivating success, long term in your life, Yeah, you know, I'm going through David Goggins book right now called you can't hurt me and do that guys bs but in his book, he laid out something but that once he said it, I'm sure I've heard it other times. It was the first time I heard it put this way when he says is the most time when people look at accomplishing that goal. They're sitting in their soft, comfortable house. They're sitting on their soft, comfortable couch, they're probably drinking in a very comfortable drink watching a TV show, dreaming about that life that could be, right. So it's very, very capable of doing. They're not thinking about and he's talking about running 100-mile marathons and stuff, right? And he's like, you know, people, like, I want to run a marathon. Well, you're sitting on your soft couch, drinking your soft drink, drinking, you know, that simple lifestyle, you're thinking about the end, you're not thinking about all the things that you got to do to go through it, to be able to get there. And it was it was it's the same thing with what you're talking about, is you've got to literally be thinking about where am I going through and then realize that you're going to have to go through a lot of crap, you know, into a lot of things to actually be able to get there and get lucky breaks and what I mean by lucky breaks and you said earlier is by putting yourself in the position to find and they look happy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Look favorite. Then they're prepared, you know what I mean? Right? And I use over preparation. I use over preparation and hustle as a business model like some, some people have found success at a younger age, some people have found success easier. Some people found success and it has gone away. Like my trajectory has been I've always had the raw talent. I hope that raw talent, I had a vision there were roadblocks there was a door slammed in my face. No, no, no. And I would get success and that will lead to more successes. And it was just the slowest of all climbs. And I'm still working on achieving all of my dreams. And and it's just been very difficult for me. It was not easy. There was a lot of no's and a lot of setbacks. But if you use those setbacks to fuel your victories will be rocking. So like for me, I wrote down my goals in 1997. When I moved to Nashville it was I will be a top call touring and recording drummer based in Nashville. It was a one simple sentence creates a sort of very succinct one or two sentences, that could be your mantra and put it in places where you can, where you can reiterate, reiterated every day saved yourself special before you go to bed at night when you get up in the morning, and I would do that and take all the necessary steps to make that happen. And so I started making a living, playing with various artists, hundreds of others, and maybe out of those hundreds of artists, maybe 10 are still in the industry in some way. And of course, I had to find my Jason Aldean and when I say my Jason Aldean, I mean, he's my he was my standings, my john Mellencamp He's my bar know, he's me, he's me, he's my Billy Joel. He's the front man that I could that I can hitch my wagon to and cultivate a long term career. I had to find that guy. I found, you know, but I mean was country music the direction you are always headed. You know, did you sound like you grew up more on the More the rock side of thing. I just tell everybody I'm an overeducated rock drummer Actually, I have experienced playing so many different kinds of music obviously I fell in love with the police's music, which is, you know, reggae and world-inspired pop rock and then I love you know just knuckle-dragging rock and roll like healing you know, and but I played like so I did the merchant Landry years and when I was in college I did steel drum ensemble world music ensemble, it was in the pep band that was in the jazz combo. I was in the new music ensemble, I was in the Symphonic Band, I was in this, the orchestra, anything I can do to play music is and I can read music and so I played every style of music under the sun. And when you mix all those things together, you can kind of create your own kind of style. And then the other way I was able to cultivate a style was having an outlet, like playing music on the world stage where were you know, God with Jason's music we mixed up the tune guitars and You know drop drop two guitars and drums and storytelling and kind of like restructured the fabric of some of the music making the game permission to like prefer like we're trying to do his thing and for Georgia line to do their thing and and then there are the rap elements and so just all my influences came together in this style and then and then having an encouraging boss like someone like Kaldi and his entire team Secrets You be the drummer you want to be you know their courage our creativity so um and it's been incredible but no but I did play a lot of country music like in Dallas Fort Worth It was like country bands all of the Dallas Fort Worth area but it was also a big band, getting my masters and university like Frank Zappa music and down a deep element. I was playing like alternative musical condos and bands and stuff. So I love music. Um, but yeah, we just have an encouraging team that allows us to, that's awesome. That's important. That has Your part of a team that allowed that creative freedom, the flow. So you can just be yourself, you know, how did this all, you know, transfer into now speaking on stages and writing books and all of that. I mean, you see some people make a template that world not well, you see some people actually make it what what made you want to go that direction. So I have a teacher's heart, you know, I have always been a teacher and I feel like as soon as you, you're good at something and you can stay one step ahead of the students, if you if you have that own, that mentoring that educational bone, it's a really powerful thing to do. So I love that. And so I've always taught and then when, as we were cultivating Dean's career, during the day, every day I would go and teach at high school or a music store or college and I was developing a reputation as an educator and then during that event, I started incorporating some motivational elements from you know, my love of, you know, the law of attraction and Ziegler and Napoleon Hill and Tony Robbins and studying all these great thought leaders over the years so before you know it my teaching my drum event started to take on a more like motivational so I say mix music and motivation. And it's educational and entertaining. So I I'd say p people in it defines edutainment. And then that grew into someone from corporate America. Good friend of mine, Anthony Grady, worked at a company called Cisco and he saw one of my speeches, one time performances and a small little drum shop in Raleigh, North Carolina. And he said to five people here you can be should be speaking in front of 50,000 people, this is really strong messaging. It'll work for anybody in any field that's like you're right, let's do this. He goes, you're going to get you booked at Cisco. And so he got me booked in and went over smashing link. And then I've done 10 events for Cisco. And then I grew that into like a pattern and Presidio at Microsoft. And you just grow that same way you develop anything's one handshake at a time and it's all the sweat of your brow and cultivating a good reputation that precedes you and Then I wrote a book for kids called fundamentals of drumming for kids. And that's cool if you have like a five-year-old and wants to learn how to play the drums or a 50-year-old cousin that, that acts like a five-year-old, the book will work for them, you know? And then so I said, Okay, I'm speaking on this crash concept for like, 13 years, I need to put up a book, and I'm about to do it. And it's just, I think that once I get that, that in drumming book out, first motivational book, hopefully, it'll be popularly received in that and that'll just inspire me. I think it's just follow through and just having a vision and just not stopping until you say, you're like, Okay, I want to be an internationally recognized speaker. I want to do no less than two speaking events a month. That's my new goals. Without fail, I want to be speaking twice a month, 24 times a year, which is daunting around where do you know because I'm playing Thursday, Friday, Saturday in Middle America without Dean and then that means I've got somehow look Sundays and Wednesdays to do my speeches, you know, so just having that vision and then having that follow through and not stopping now, that's, that's awesome. And, you know, it's, it shows a lot of your grit and it shows a lot of your tenacity to not reinvent yourself. But you almost create a whole nother business model view. So that is out of the norm. I mean, you're in a sense, creating your own side hustle, and I hate the word hustle. But yeah, you're inside business, as you're going through this still successful career and everything else you're doing. So when you're speaking, you know, I've seen people incorporate guitar and motivational speaking, I haven't seen the drum that's going to be a pretty powerful, you know, message when you're able because, with the drums man, you can really hit somebody in the heart with it and get them to move. Yes. Is that why you're you're really incorporating the both Well, I think it's you know, people love the drums is man's first instrument, we're just like biologically through our DNA drawn to the drums and, you know, the guitar is way more portable. And you know, people love the lead singer and with the guitar and all that. But if you can just get past the old parameters features like going, but you're going to like it better because it's a week for people to see the physical manifestation of my passion. It's the passion personified when they see how I can connect with that instrumental music as a form of communication in the form of expression. They go, Oh, this is what this guy does. He travels the world so he can get on those set of drums and create that energy to lift up his band and bring these songs to life and be an entertainer and I say, if you take this level of passion that I have the sweat on my brow, and I'm French, so you can accomplish anything you want to accomplish in your life. You know, and so they go Oh, okay. And so yeah, like my friend Mike Rayburn. It's like a comedian and a guitar player and he does motivational speeches and then my friend, Freddie Ravel, he's like Earth Wind and Fire keyboard player. He plays piano and does motivational speeches. And then really the only drummers are me and my buddy, Mark Schulman piece, Pink's drummer and so if I can't make a speech, I said mark and Mark can't make speech he sends me and so we look, Africa, there's really only like two of us really kind of that are like motivational speakers to play drums on a high level. And it's so it's a small group of us kind of looking out for each other that use the music. No, I love it. You know, I mean, I can like bang and top of my desk, you know, so if you needed a motivational speaker for the drums, how about I just come speak and you drop all right. Devil events together, right, right, right. Very fun. You know. A lot of people get hung up in this whole phrase and motivational speaker you when I say, you know, I'm a motivational speaker. People get hung up on him because they're like, you know, motivation doesn't last. You know you go get fired up at an event go get charged up and then Monday happens. Right, you know, what are you teaching in these things that are the tangible take homes that that people are, like, completely applying to their life? And our action items off of your speeches? Yeah, great, great point. Um, you know, I threw my teaching and and like all my little drum camps that I've done over the years, you know, I've had success stories of students that are have all met at my camps, and then they get accepted to Musicians Institute Hollywood, or they're going to Berkeley, or they're getting gigs in their city, or they decided to make the big move to Nashville, Tennessee. And they're like, you know what? Your crash concept really stuck with me. I just always remember the crash. And I can actually live my life like that. And it's so easy to remember, I just can use these five things and I can apply it to anything. So I'm like, Great, yeah, committed. And if you're committed to yourself, to your goals, to your family, for your community, your company to your product, you're going to be able to break your ticket to success. relationships, remember that people are the keys. That's the end. Answer light finding those birds of a feather funny people that are going to champion you. So go out and make friends, you can't have enough friends and I constantly mix business and pleasure. People say don't do that. And it's the secret to my success because I always mix business and pleasure. And then remembering about your attitude is really is 99% of life. It takes twice as much as energy to cultivate and nurture negative thoughts. I just tell people to try to stay in a positive space because people are attracted to use it as a positivity. Those people are usually happier, happier, people are healthier and there are more successful so try to stay in that zone, and techniques you can use to stay in that zone, our synergy sofa birds of a feather, I use colorful food. I like film, I like friends, I exercise I use these as tools to like stay in that in that positivity zone. And then skill identifies those skills you need to be successful in your chosen field and master those skills but Don't get cocky. You have to make sure you keeping up with the Joneses and developing new skills like I'm doing in my mid-life isn't just an automatic successful drummer, I was on the cover of the magazine, I'm always going to be working, I never get cocky like that I'm developing these other skills in case my entire industry goes away. I other things that are happening, and who knows the music industry is kind of on its knees, who knows what's going to happen. So I'm preparing for that. And then staying hungry for success having that fire that burns in your belly to be successful. And I'd say that this passion is your engine and hard work is your fuel. So fuel that engine with hard work, and you will allow which will allow you to work harder, and the harder you work the luckier you get. So just oh my god, I just got to commit to my craft. I gotta find the people, the relationships, I've got to stay positive so people will be attracted to me. I have to identify those skills to be successful, Master those skills and then stay hungry for success. It's like oh my God if I can live my life like this, I will be successful. I love it. Dude, that is so awesome. And I love it when somebody comes up with a very, very, very simple analogy, you know that or simple acronyms or word I'm looking for. That is so easy to remember. And the principles are so easy to apply, you know, to the life, you know, so Well done, well done. What do you think this is all going to take you, man? I mean, are you going to be the next Tony Robbins with drums in your hand? Or, or-or, you know, are you going to stay in the corporate private gigs? You know how big sis and going? I kind of like the corporate private. I don't see. It could happen because I had drum camps where people sign up and there's a hotel package and there's catered meals and the kids show up in a limo and we do the event and it's this huge exponential thing. I was Tony Robbins is my guru his documentary. And I sent myself to I want to do that on that level. I like this private gigs, saying, you know, I like that. I like the balance of my life where, oh, yes, I'm an international speaker. A company from Mexico City can hire me. I'm going to go The lights smoke like a little mini rock concert disguised as a keynote. I'm doing that whole thing. I think for me the variety is very sexy. We're playing live touring with somebody and recording drums for other people. I'm doing my corporate keynotes on the the highest level for Fortune 100 companies. I'm cranking out my books, I'm running my record label, and then I have a foothold in, in Hollywood where I'm where I ultimately want to be doing more hosting, and some maybe some appearances on episodic television and films. So my latest thing is, is I played a cop on a show on the sci-fi channel called happily and it's with Christopher Maloney. And he was like the Bologna cop on Law and Order SBU. And he was on HBO is oz healer actor. And I was like, thrown into the deep end of the pool as a new actor been acting for four years. And I'm going to see what this guy is a 12 hour day and it'll probably All boiled down to about, I don't know 15 seconds, right? But epic I mean to get flown to New York City to shoot in Queens in a real prison with a real prison guard suit with a real network and this thing is going to be seen and it's like I'm in the game their man. So I think creatively playing drums producing records, speaking at the highest level and cranking out my books and then I'm going to my acting jobs with the possibility like never know maybe I could maybe I'll be the next Mario Lopez or secrets where I'm doing a lot of hosting it at feels very second nature to me, I love reading teleprompter. I love interacting with a guest and, and just being that kind of like masters of ceremony. I'm doing a lot of professional emceeing now where I'm finally getting paid MC corporate events and charity events and doing panel moderation. Just love it all. And so people are like, how do you do it? How do you keep your schedule straight as an add on? Oh man. It's temporary. I just created the scheduling gods and all these cool things come in and they're all different they're covered in different ways. And it just allows me to interact with people stay creative Hyslop that's so awesome man it's it's fun watching somebody step into their own fire Am I mean if you know actually go for it and chase it find some success and do it you know I have an only thing I ever want to do in a movie is I want to be the guy in the background so I can say I was in that movie Yeah, I was actor 12 you know I have friends that you know live in Burbank and they just they have these they make a great living just doing background acting as I can show up as always snacks craft service, right? You know, they have their, their their their benefits and their insurance to sag AFTRA and they go in there in the Big Bang Theory and all they have to do is look within the top of the hour. Long day, I don't think I can do it. I'm not focusing on doing any background because I'm too on the move. I'd rather be like playing drums. Some of them he needs to know that you know I want to be the guy on stage I want to be the guy in front of the rooms and all that but you know I someday I want to be in just one big movie I don't want to actually put it in the I just wanted to get in the background that they like just walks through, you know, or you know, gets knocked out by a guy in the seat. Yeah, you'll do it by not going not getting an agent and having Yep, you're going to get it because a buddy of yours is it? Yes, he's run a new film. Yeah. Show up on this day. When this guy walks, you're just gonna walk right across right? Right. Right, right. Just be my one cameo. That's it. And I'm going to sign autographs right buddy and tell them a famous actor. So I mean, this is awesome man. What a killer story what a great journey. It's just going to feel cool that you accomplished a lot of the things that you set out to accomplish and now you know you're adding so many more things to your life and funnels and said success in those you know, that's just getting a feel good. Really cool on your journey it does it is it is very very nice to be like oh my god you know a lot of drummers will spend their entire life trying to plan a number one song to hear themselves on the radio and you know just to be part of this Creative Collective of like-minded people and and and to have a body of work like that could be like oh my god I can hear myself on the radio two-three times in our I can hear myself in elevators in supermarkets and you know at the gas station and pumping gas it's that's me playing the drums. I like my childhood dream DD did it. It is pretty cool. That's, that's awesome. That's awesome. Well, rich, I gotta it's been a lot of fun having you on here.

Today I'm bringing on you know, a musician from the Nashville scene and, you know, so I'm sure I'm gonna bust his chops about being a drummer. So that'll be fun. I'm sure he's caught his entire career but you know, so I'm bringing on Rich Redmond. I'm Donnie Boivin. This is Donnie success champions Rich buddy Welcome to the show, my friend. I've played drums for 42 years. I'm originally from Milford, Connecticut. So I'm a little New England boys and the first 10 years of my life there fell in love with the drums my dad ended up moving to El Paso Texas when I was 11. He did that for 20 years and he ran the factories that made Victoria's Secrets underwear. Ladies just sewing underwear all day across the border. And then and so that was a great thing for me because Texas has a strong culture of music education, the great state of music, education, very healthy scenes. So I kind of, you know, nurtured My, chops, and my musicianship there ended up going and getting a master's degree from the University of North Texas, the Eagles you know, those are actually the Eagles were formed. Then in 1997 I moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and so I'm celebrating I don't know 23 years so of navigating the Music City, USA and so yeah, and so, since day one, I've been playing drums for a country rocker Jason Aldean. Just, I just celebrated playing drums on 25 number one songs which are really fun. We're working on our 19th record, I should know. Finishing that up, and then we'll have enabled and had a nice tour this year. Then we'll probably get into some other things. But I just have embraced the entertainment and education fields and I do some speaking. I author I, I do a little voiceover and little acting out here in Hollywood. I like to mentor and educated from camps, produce records, write songs, I'm in the game of entertainment and just have just love and light and that is awesome. That's awesome. I mean, Louis last night, I went to my niece, she plays saxophone or high school. And they this whole for a program that started off I did the drum corps. Yeah, that's what I was going through high school. You know, you know, a couple of guys banging on drums. Nowadays. It's like an entire flipping show. It's insane what they're doing with you and these kids into it, it was that you know how you could jump to this whole thing with your high school into the game? Yeah, it was a fifth grade I was actually in 1976 or 77. I was you know, six, seven years old and I was listening to kiss records and may I was restless my parents got me drum lessons I was studying with a guy in Connecticut and so I got some skills together and so then when I was enough hasn't tenses and they join the fifth grade band was already headed the other kids, but I knew that while I have this cool skill, it was an icebreaker people were interested in he was a way to be socially acceptable, you know, and that awkward period of your life especially when going into high school and stuff. And so it was great. It was you know, it was my calling, I recognize that and 93 police came out with a record called synchronicity and then the very next year, Van Halen came out with a smoking Angel on the cover of a record called nice name for and I just resonated with me and I said, this is what I'm going to do with my life and then I didn't know About Malcolm Gladwell and the 10,000. Our theory of mastering a craft Matter of fact is so funny. I was in my favorite West Hollywood eatery the other night, and I don't get starstruck, but Malcolm Gladwell was ordering a drink next. He's a very unique looking individual. But, you know, five best sellers. I mean, his books they just full meaning, you before you know, you've learned so much the book is over. What what I'm a big fan out over that I wanted to be like Malcolm high five. You're not supposed to do when you read but I didn't. I just walked away. I left them. But I didn't know about the 10,000-hour theory at that time, but was, you know, I was passionate about it. So when you know you're passionate about something, it's so easy to work hard, and the harder you work the more successful in attracting yourself. So I have already had those wheels in motion roses, living and breathing drums and I continued that all the way you know, never missed a meal man. You know, I mean, there were some hard times and you know, I had some rough day jobs. I was a courier. I did construction. I was a waiter. I was a kindergarten teacher, substitute teacher and schlepped drums around all around the planet and lugging suitcases. I figured recently that I haven't unpacked my suitcase and 22 years I've been living out of a suitcase The only time I truly unpack is when is when at the end of the year or currencies and as usual over in October and I'll and I'll literally I will just take everything out of the suitcase and put everything away even though I know I'm going to be putting things back in there to go do freelance things are speeches, but I touring cycle now has become like the beach or April through October, which is wonderful. We do about 60 shows a year. But we used to do 225 shows early days about being like in 2004 2005 2006 we lived on the road was just it was incredible. And then that's a wild lifestyle to I mean, so how did you go into the national scene and how did you hook up with Jason Aldean? I mean, was it a tryout, was it a call? Or would you guys just have me drinking the same bar? And so let's put this together. Yeah, it's funny to hear people's stories and see how they're 16. Another success comes together, but it's the perception of the music business, is that it's an audition based industry. And I think that, you know, 99% of your guests are going there that are all speaking on success, are going to say it's about human relationships and interacting with the owner, championing each other and lifting each other up and having birds of a feather come together and I was playing in a band with a guy named Kurt Allison, who was our guitar player to this day. And so I've been playing with him for 23 years. I had a gig with him and his dad in a band called The Blues, other brothers and we had like a review. We did like Motown, Stax Records, kind of things. I'm working, you know, Dennis, Dennis, that, all that stuff and then he introduced me to this guy named Kelly Kennedy to who's our bandleader and our bass player to this day, totally Kennedy's Uncle was was writing songs at Warner Chappell Music. Michael Knox was the VP at Warner Chappell music and who is Jason's producer to this day? Michael said we need a band totally said Kurt you know a drummer champion me we brought the three of us together and it's like you know can invert you put your peanut butter and chocolate just worked in like to this day you know i don't know we had I guess when I too many Irish Coffee is what we call ourselves to three kings and him kind of branded ourselves that way about those three knuckleheads that went every were together for a decade and we ended up just playing with Jason Aldean become great friends which are not being so it was. Yeah, I think I had to have it was there was a loose audition which means learning material going in knowing the material it was given. I was going to do a good job for them. I did a good job for them but they wanted to see if I can, if we can all you know it was going to link me because when you're living this lifestyle, your arms Stage, maybe two hours a day and there's another 22 hours a day that you're writing a 45 foot two. And you're sleeping on airport floors and, and I'm about to put out a book next month called Crash Course for success and literally one of the photos is all of us crashed out on the airport floor. And the and the caption is, you know, touring is hell sleep cycle. That's kind of how that all came together man and a very organic human relationship based way. And the music industry is not for the faint of heart. It's you know, it's tough on relationships. It's been tough on health. So it's nice to be able to go through such an industry with like-minded people that you finish each other's sentences and you're part of each other's you know, wedding parties and look for sharing it almost like five presidencies later and met a few gray more gray hairs later too. And yeah, this is my choice and I was I had Lot of wives and girlfriends that were a hairstylist and so it was pretty easy to get my hair pink and black. Right? On vacation recently I just said I'm gonna let this go. And when they fill my wife, man, I'm not getting gray hair thing. This is Chrome is. But you know and a lot of people look at like the music industry or the acting industry of all that and they always around this whole thought process of this overnight success type thing. And, you know, doesn't matter how many times you tell them an overnight success is a myth. Right? There's a lot of damn hard work is a lot of friggin late nights at airport floors and everything else. I mean, how long were you in the game before you felt like okay, I'm finally you know, in my rhythm and things are working. Yeah. Well, my story was I moved to Nashville on a Tuesday with a box of 400 cassette demos Rich Redmond percussion. And I was passing these things out everywhere and I had little before then you would have like a folder and it would have all your press clippings in it and it was so archaic and you know, I always had a, you know, a VISTA print business card that was a pretty savvy self-promoters still to the day, you know, no one is going to champion you like yourself and I want you as much as yourself. So you have to be polite, be persistent, and maybe have some luck along the way, but luck is just being prepared for those opportunities, and also giving yourself a shot to be successful in the music business people like can I do this from Des Moines, Iowa Can I do this from Tallahassee Florida know you can really only be in three places you know, and New York City really has kind of become you know, you do Broadway and then you can play weddings, environments were you know, make pretty good money. live out in Long Island come into the City, Los Angeles, you know, I'm here a lot. I have a love affair with Los Angeles like your business out here. But if you're not doing music for TV and film, and you don't have a big touring gig, the actual music scene Los Angeles really isn't the healthiest. And then you have a place like Music City, where people are like, Well, what about Austin, Texas? Austin's great. It's great there's a lot of great live music going on, but it doesn't have the big machine, the infrastructure of, okay, song was written at 10am on a Monday, that song has to be demoed up. And so there's a group of musicians that play on the demo, and it's a play on the record in a live band has to be put together and then around that you have tour managers, graphic designers, web designers, truck drivers, caterers that whole industry, there are so many jobs and handle feet and you need all those things to make that Taylor Swift show work and as she called her label big machine, because we have the big machinery that infrastructure that doesn't exist. But you know, and I'm glad you brought that up because a lot of people are looking at it as you know, I sing I played drums I play guitar, I'm just going to show up and it's going to happen. Yeah, you know, it's, it's a production. I like the term big machine. You know, it's really an amazing name, you know for, for the label but know your skill set is having an extremely an incredibly well put together cultivated skill set is an expectation. The other thing is giving yourself that chance to be successful, which is going to a place like Nashville, Tennessee, and then getting out and shaking hands and crashing parties and letting the world know you exist because there are some amazing drummers Are you better than me? They're playing their mind space. But you have to take your music to the people you have to connect with other people. Those gatekeepers, especially someone like a drummer is only as good as, as the people that are surrounded by a really strong and important and powerful position in a band. But usually, unless you're like a deep Grove was writing all the material, you know, we're only as good as the person that you're surrounding yourself with. So my story was I moved to Nashville on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday, I was I had a gig on Saturday night I was playing with like a corporate band and you know That you're playing, you know, jazz and the salads coming out. And then you're eating the main course and you're playing Motown by the end of the night everyone's been interrupted lip clapping on one and three and dancing to discuss something for the 70s. You know, and but that was great because that's what opened my door to my Nashville. You know, the family tree of shaking this person's hand, they champion me, they recommended me to someone else. And it's still happening to this day, and you're never done paying your dues, because I never want to be that guy that says, I've made it. I know everyone in the industry. There are new people coming to Nashville all the time. And what I do is I need that new talent. And now I'm on the other side of the business where you know, if you're a national long enough, eventually started writing software, producing records. I opened up my own record label, I have a record label 1225 label group. And so so now I can nurture you. Right and i and i, and through my eyes and my experiences, I can give them positive streets and be an artist, producer and Label Label. That's awesome. Well, keep your eyes and Fort Worth Texas because there's a lot of awesome local musicians coming out of here right now. Yeah. So, so, you know, what was it like, you know, up there performing with a guy like Jason Aldean and depending on some circles you love me or hate them you know you know what was it like being up there playing for massive crowds know live in that that rock star life with the spotlight the the craziness that happens on the road because I have some buddies in the game. I know some of the fun stories, but you know, what is that what it was? Was that like that experience like for you? And it's my happy place. I think that you know, I was, you know, had these calling these columns in life and you know, I think, my God my house, my higher power gave me this talent and I was respected enough to nurture it molded and then Be able to have that connective tissue, the connective tissue are all the guys in my band or allow us to express ourselves and I think music is one of our highest forms of communication to get you to know, it transcends all cultural barriers language barriers, and but know when I'm up there and Pyros going off and see I mean that is just like my goddess energy and receiving energy and I'm putting out energy and I always tell my students I say look if you want to send your energy not to the person per person there in the in the expensive see if they're already the true believers you have to go to the cheap seats in the guy that was dragged there by his girlfriend you make that guy who believes that my goal is to have that guy go home that was on the fence and no man has ever seen in my life. Have you got to say it that voice mail it was my attempt at a southern accent but no, it's it's I don't want to say that the drums to find me but it's such a it's such a calling when I'm when I see a set of drums even like I'm going to look up a nightclub or I'm at a wedding or something, there's a set of drums in the corner to focus on that man, I want to go play those drums. You know, it's just a, it's just calling so when I'm on stage, it's like Dude, I meant to do this and then it's like a drug and you're always looking for that next opportunity to do that. See? You same thing when you're speaking but that's how I feel when I'm on stage speaking is you know, you know it said that I want to hit the people that are in the back the one that was guys know that you know that the skeptics? Yeah, those are the ones that I love that it's a thing for you when you're here. Yeah, and for me, it's it for me when it comes to speaking. It's not so much the power of the words in the concepts I'm saying because my when I speak on my craft concept, commitment, relationships, attitude, skill, and hunger. It's basically a way of reminding people, yeah, you can have your corporate philosophies, you can have your, your PowerPoint, and you can get lost in all of this corporate stuff. But lets I just I'm there to remind them everything I need to know in life I learned in kindergarten. I know basically keep it simple and work on added do everything. You know, like, maybe a relationship or power or you know, I wrote an E-book called five keys, the drumming success, you know, so people can remember it. But for me, it's really like how I am articulating the message. It's almost people like what is your event of about? I said, Well, just picture like an animal from the Muppets. And Robin's means Jerry Lewis, right. So it's like, it's almost like I want to present this in like a very energetic fashion. I'm sweating. I'm pacing. I'm cracking jokes and playing the drums. And then I'm speaking to the drums and I'm speaking and so it's really it's like how I'm getting people that information because I don't know. We went Get people too much credit like I tell people all the time you know people hear music with their eyes most people don't know they're not really educated musically so so we have to give them a show give them or they can just listen to their mp3 right device and these little things right here it's like if you're going to spend all that money get a babysitter paying for parking grave the crowds by a $15 beer Dude, I'm going to make this a memorable experience. Well, and I hope everybody heard that because you have to, I mean, especially if you're going to make it in this day and age and whatever you're in, is I still remember there was an acapella show on TV. I one of the boys the men guys was one of the judges and it was a really really cool shit on there's a country music group that that one one of the episodes that's a completely acapella Country Music Group, Humphrey endings name the group but and, you know, I think was a second or third season. They had this colleague group on all acapella and they were The final episode and whoever won this episode one, the whole show. And the song was taking me to church, and it was done acapella. And, man, they had the littlest dude in their college. I mean, this guy if he was five-foot tall idea maze, and they said, No, we picked him to sing the solo in this because he's got that voice. Do this kid. I get goosebumps thinking about the kids singing. I mean, he's saying it and he, he left it all on the stage. And when he was done performing, then he dropped to his knees and pure exhaustion. That's how much you put into the song. I love it. And then that's stuck with me. Absolutely. I mean, even the voice and the game I wish I remember his name, but he was a judge looked at him because you know, that's why you just want because you put everything you had just in that song. But you know, I think it was Bon Jovi that said, you know, when you go on stage, you've got to perform like this is your last performance. So I always say that, yeah, go on stage. So this may be the very last time What do That's how I'm going out man. Right. But yeah, and just think about that amazing singer in a talent that he had and that commitment to his craft who knows he may be killing it in the industry right now from that initial push of success that he had with that show, or he could be back in the day job became still be moving back in and was parents I don't know. It's like, just having the talent is not enough. You have to mold it and then you have to get to a place and get this and gatekeepers that can actually allow allowing you to give you permission to do what you do. Because I've had some very successful people that I've known that have been raised every hair on my bottle of one girlfriend of mine that comes to mind that was just such an amazing singer and still is an amazing singer. But to create that emotional reaction from when I would play with her i would shed a tear every hair on my arm and stand up. So powerful and things really didn't work out to the extent that they should have and if there are so many other factors involved in cultivating success, long term in your life, Yeah, you know, I'm going through David Goggins book right now called you can't hurt me and do that guys bs but in his book, he laid out something but that once he said it, I'm sure I've heard it other times. It was the first time I heard it put this way when he says is the most time when people look at accomplishing that goal. They're sitting in their soft, comfortable house. They're sitting on their soft, comfortable couch, they're probably drinking in a very comfortable drink watching a TV show, dreaming about that life that could be, right. So it's very, very capable of doing. They're not thinking about and he's talking about running 100-mile marathons and stuff, right? And he's like, you know, people, like, I want to run a marathon. Well, you're sitting on your soft couch, drinking your soft drink, drinking, you know, that simple lifestyle, you're thinking about the end, you're not thinking about all the things that you got to do to go through it, to be able to get there. And it was it was it's the same thing with what you're talking about, is you've got to literally be thinking about where am I going through and then realize that you're going to have to go through a lot of crap, you know, into a lot of things to actually be able to get there and get lucky breaks and what I mean by lucky breaks and you said earlier is by putting yourself in the position to find and they look happy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Look favorite. Then they're prepared, you know what I mean? Right? And I use over preparation. I use over preparation and hustle as a business model like some, some people have found success at a younger age, some people have found success easier. Some people found success and it has gone away. Like my trajectory has been I've always had the raw talent. I hope that raw talent, I had a vision there were roadblocks there was a door slammed in my face. No, no, no. And I would get success and that will lead to more successes. And it was just the slowest of all climbs. And I'm still working on achieving all of my dreams. And and it's just been very difficult for me. It was not easy. There was a lot of no's and a lot of setbacks. But if you use those setbacks to fuel your victories will be rocking. So like for me, I wrote down my goals in 1997. When I moved to Nashville it was I will be a top call touring and recording drummer based in Nashville. It was a one simple sentence creates a sort of very succinct one or two sentences, that could be your mantra and put it in places where you can, where you can reiterate, reiterated every day saved yourself special before you go to bed at night when you get up in the morning, and I would do that and take all the necessary steps to make that happen. And so I started making a living, playing with various artists, hundreds of others, and maybe out of those hundreds of artists, maybe 10 are still in the industry in some way. And of course, I had to find my Jason Aldean and when I say my Jason Aldean, I mean, he's my he was my standings, my john Mellencamp He's my bar know, he's me, he's me, he's my Billy Joel. He's the front man that I could that I can hitch my wagon to and cultivate a long term career. I had to find that guy. I found, you know, but I mean was country music the direction you are always headed. You know, did you sound like you grew up more on the More the rock side of thing. I just tell everybody I'm an overeducated rock drummer Actually, I have experienced playing so many different kinds of music obviously I fell in love with the police's music, which is, you know, reggae and world-inspired pop rock and then I love you know just knuckle-dragging rock and roll like healing you know, and but I played like so I did the merchant Landry years and when I was in college I did steel drum ensemble world music ensemble, it was in the pep band that was in the jazz combo. I was in the new music ensemble, I was in the Symphonic Band, I was in this, the orchestra, anything I can do to play music is and I can read music and so I played every style of music under the sun. And when you mix all those things together, you can kind of create your own kind of style. And then the other way I was able to cultivate a style was having an outlet, like playing music on the world stage where were you know, God with Jason's music we mixed up the tune guitars and You know drop drop two guitars and drums and storytelling and kind of like restructured the fabric of some of the music making the game permission to like prefer like we're trying to do his thing and for Georgia line to do their thing and and then there are the rap elements and so just all my influences came together in this style and then and then having an encouraging boss like someone like Kaldi and his entire team Secrets You be the drummer you want to be you know their courage our creativity so um and it's been incredible but no but I did play a lot of country music like in Dallas Fort Worth It was like country bands all of the Dallas Fort Worth area but it was also a big band, getting my masters and university like Frank Zappa music and down a deep element. I was playing like alternative musical condos and bands and stuff. So I love music. Um, but yeah, we just have an encouraging team that allows us to, that's awesome. That's important. That has Your part of a team that allowed that creative freedom, the flow. So you can just be yourself, you know, how did this all, you know, transfer into now speaking on stages and writing books and all of that. I mean, you see some people make a template that world not well, you see some people actually make it what what made you want to go that direction. So I have a teacher's heart, you know, I have always been a teacher and I feel like as soon as you, you're good at something and you can stay one step ahead of the students, if you if you have that own, that mentoring that educational bone, it's a really powerful thing to do. So I love that. And so I've always taught and then when, as we were cultivating Dean's career, during the day, every day I would go and teach at high school or a music store or college and I was developing a reputation as an educator and then during that event, I started incorporating some motivational elements from you know, my love of, you know, the law of attraction and Ziegler and Napoleon Hill and Tony Robbins and studying all these great thought leaders over the years so before you know it my teaching my drum event started to take on a more like motivational so I say mix music and motivation. And it's educational and entertaining. So I I'd say p people in it defines edutainment. And then that grew into someone from corporate America. Good friend of mine, Anthony Grady, worked at a company called Cisco and he saw one of my speeches, one time performances and a small little drum shop in Raleigh, North Carolina. And he said to five people here you can be should be speaking in front of 50,000 people, this is really strong messaging. It'll work for anybody in any field that's like you're right, let's do this. He goes, you're going to get you booked at Cisco. And so he got me booked in and went over smashing link. And then I've done 10 events for Cisco. And then I grew that into like a pattern and Presidio at Microsoft. And you just grow that same way you develop anything's one handshake at a time and it's all the sweat of your brow and cultivating a good reputation that precedes you and Then I wrote a book for kids called fundamentals of drumming for kids. And that's cool if you have like a five-year-old and wants to learn how to play the drums or a 50-year-old cousin that, that acts like a five-year-old, the book will work for them, you know? And then so I said, Okay, I'm speaking on this crash concept for like, 13 years, I need to put up a book, and I'm about to do it. And it's just, I think that once I get that, that in drumming book out, first motivational book, hopefully, it'll be popularly received in that and that'll just inspire me. I think it's just follow through and just having a vision and just not stopping until you say, you're like, Okay, I want to be an internationally recognized speaker. I want to do no less than two speaking events a month. That's my new goals. Without fail, I want to be speaking twice a month, 24 times a year, which is daunting around where do you know because I'm playing Thursday, Friday, Saturday in Middle America without Dean and then that means I've got somehow look Sundays and Wednesdays to do my speeches, you know, so just having that vision and then having that follow through and not stopping now, that's, that's awesome. And, you know, it's, it shows a lot of your grit and it shows a lot of your tenacity to not reinvent yourself. But you almost create a whole nother business model view. So that is out of the norm. I mean, you're in a sense, creating your own side hustle, and I hate the word hustle. But yeah, you're inside business, as you're going through this still successful career and everything else you're doing. So when you're speaking, you know, I've seen people incorporate guitar and motivational speaking, I haven't seen the drum that's going to be a pretty powerful, you know, message when you're able because, with the drums man, you can really hit somebody in the heart with it and get them to move. Yes. Is that why you're you're really incorporating the both Well, I think it's you know, people love the drums is man's first instrument, we're just like biologically through our DNA drawn to the drums and, you know, the guitar is way more portable. And you know, people love the lead singer and with the guitar and all that. But if you can just get past the old parameters features like going, but you're going to like it better because it's a week for people to see the physical manifestation of my passion. It's the passion personified when they see how I can connect with that instrumental music as a form of communication in the form of expression. They go, Oh, this is what this guy does. He travels the world so he can get on those set of drums and create that energy to lift up his band and bring these songs to life and be an entertainer and I say, if you take this level of passion that I have the sweat on my brow, and I'm French, so you can accomplish anything you want to accomplish in your life. You know, and so they go Oh, okay. And so yeah, like my friend Mike Rayburn. It's like a comedian and a guitar player and he does motivational speeches and then my friend, Freddie Ravel, he's like Earth Wind and Fire keyboard player. He plays piano and does motivational speeches. And then really the only drummers are me and my buddy, Mark Schulman piece, Pink's drummer and so if I can't make a speech, I said mark and Mark can't make speech he sends me and so we look, Africa, there's really only like two of us really kind of that are like motivational speakers to play drums on a high level. And it's so it's a small group of us kind of looking out for each other that use the music. No, I love it. You know, I mean, I can like bang and top of my desk, you know, so if you needed a motivational speaker for the drums, how about I just come speak and you drop all right. Devil events together, right, right, right. Very fun. You know. A lot of people get hung up in this whole phrase and motivational speaker you when I say, you know, I'm a motivational speaker. People get hung up on him because they're like, you know, motivation doesn't last. You know you go get fired up at an event go get charged up and then Monday happens. Right, you know, what are you teaching in these things that are the tangible take homes that that people are, like, completely applying to their life? And our action items off of your speeches? Yeah, great, great point. Um, you know, I threw my teaching and and like all my little drum camps that I've done over the years, you know, I've had success stories of students that are have all met at my camps, and then they get accepted to Musicians Institute Hollywood, or they're going to Berkeley, or they're getting gigs in their city, or they decided to make the big move to Nashville, Tennessee. And they're like, you know what? Your crash concept really stuck with me. I just always remember the crash. And I can actually live my life like that. And it's so easy to remember, I just can use these five things and I can apply it to anything. So I'm like, Great, yeah, committed. And if you're committed to yourself, to your goals, to your family, for your community, your company to your product, you're going to be able to break your ticket to success. relationships, remember that people are the keys. That's the end. Answer light finding those birds of a feather funny people that are going to champion you. So go out and make friends, you can't have enough friends and I constantly mix business and pleasure. People say don't do that. And it's the secret to my success because I always mix business and pleasure. And then remembering about your attitude is really is 99% of life. It takes twice as much as energy to cultivate and nurture negative thoughts. I just tell people to try to stay in a positive space because people are attracted to use it as a positivity. Those people are usually happier, happier, people are healthier and there are more successful so try to stay in that zone, and techniques you can use to stay in that zone, our synergy sofa birds of a feather, I use colorful food. I like film, I like friends, I exercise I use these as tools to like stay in that in that positivity zone. And then skill identifies those skills you need to be successful in your chosen field and master those skills but Don't get cocky. You have to make sure you keeping up with the Joneses and developing new skills like I'm doing in my mid-life isn't just an automatic successful drummer, I was on the cover of the magazine, I'm always going to be working, I never get cocky like that I'm developing these other skills in case my entire industry goes away. I other things that are happening, and who knows the music industry is kind of on its knees, who knows what's going to happen. So I'm preparing for that. And then staying hungry for success having that fire that burns in your belly to be successful. And I'd say that this passion is your engine and hard work is your fuel. So fuel that engine with hard work, and you will allow which will allow you to work harder, and the harder you work the luckier you get. So just oh my god, I just got to commit to my craft. I gotta find the people, the relationships, I've got to stay positive so people will be attracted to me. I have to identify those skills to be successful, Master those skills and then stay hungry for success. It's like oh my God if I can live my life like this, I will be successful. I love it. Dude, that is so awesome. And I love it when somebody comes up with a very, very, very simple analogy, you know that or simple acronyms or word I'm looking for. That is so easy to remember. And the principles are so easy to apply, you know, to the life, you know, so Well done, well done. What do you think this is all going to take you, man? I mean, are you going to be the next Tony Robbins with drums in your hand? Or, or-or, you know, are you going to stay in the corporate private gigs? You know how big sis and going? I kind of like the corporate private. I don't see. It could happen because I had drum camps where people sign up and there's a hotel package and there's catered meals and the kids show up in a limo and we do the event and it's this huge exponential thing. I was Tony Robbins is my guru his documentary. And I sent myself to I want to do that on that level. I like this private gigs, saying, you know, I like that. I like the balance of my life where, oh, yes, I'm an international speaker. A company from Mexico City can hire me. I'm going to go The lights smoke like a little mini rock concert disguised as a keynote. I'm doing that whole thing. I think for me the variety is very sexy. We're playing live touring with somebody and recording drums for other people. I'm doing my corporate keynotes on the the highest level for Fortune 100 companies. I'm cranking out my books, I'm running my record label, and then I have a foothold in, in Hollywood where I'm where I ultimately want to be doing more hosting, and some maybe some appearances on episodic television and films. So my latest thing is, is I played a cop on a show on the sci-fi channel called happily and it's with Christopher Maloney. And he was like the Bologna cop on Law and Order SBU. And he was on HBO is oz healer actor. And I was like, thrown into the deep end of the pool as a new actor been acting for four years. And I'm going to see what this guy is a 12 hour day and it'll probably All boiled down to about, I don't know 15 seconds, right? But epic I mean to get flown to New York City to shoot in Queens in a real prison with a real prison guard suit with a real network and this thing is going to be seen and it's like I'm in the game their man. So I think creatively playing drums producing records, speaking at the highest level and cranking out my books and then I'm going to my acting jobs with the possibility like never know maybe I could maybe I'll be the next Mario Lopez or secrets where I'm doing a lot of hosting it at feels very second nature to me, I love reading teleprompter. I love interacting with a guest and, and just being that kind of like masters of ceremony. I'm doing a lot of professional emceeing now where I'm finally getting paid MC corporate events and charity events and doing panel moderation. Just love it all. And so people are like, how do you do it? How do you keep your schedule straight as an add on? Oh man. It's temporary. I just created the scheduling gods and all these cool things come in and they're all different they're covered in different ways. And it just allows me to interact with people stay creative Hyslop that's so awesome man it's it's fun watching somebody step into their own fire Am I mean if you know actually go for it and chase it find some success and do it you know I have an only thing I ever want to do in a movie is I want to be the guy in the background so I can say I was in that movie Yeah, I was actor 12 you know I have friends that you know live in Burbank and they just they have these they make a great living just doing background acting as I can show up as always snacks craft service, right? You know, they have their, their their their benefits and their insurance to sag AFTRA and they go in there in the Big Bang Theory and all they have to do is look within the top of the hour. Long day, I don't think I can do it. I'm not focusing on doing any background because I'm too on the move. I'd rather be like playing drums. Some of them he needs to know that you know I want to be the guy on stage I want to be the guy in front of the rooms and all that but you know I someday I want to be in just one big movie I don't want to actually put it in the I just wanted to get in the background that they like just walks through, you know, or you know, gets knocked out by a guy in the seat. Yeah, you'll do it by not going not getting an agent and having Yep, you're going to get it because a buddy of yours is it? Yes, he's run a new film. Yeah. Show up on this day.

Mike and Mike crack open the May 2019 issue and talk about cover artist Mark Schulman, who has been the drummer for the pop star P!nk for over twelve years. The post MD Podcast Episode 186: Pink's Mark Schulman, Funkifying Your Swing Feel, Pfeifer Snares, and More appeared first on Modern Drummer Magazine.

In all the episodes I've had, I've yet to hear a guest talk about how easy it was to make their way to the top. In fact, many of them had their greatest epiphanies when staring down a bowl of Ramen noodles. So I faced Kevin Neff's new show, "Speaking of Success," with some trepidation. Is it going to be a sound bite of how Entrepreneur X took their company to $6B in 6 months? His answer is refreshing. Some of his guests aren't even "famous" at all. Or some tell stories of how they've fallen from grace to build success from the ashes. The best revelations are toward the end when Kevin offers some self-reflection on how he defines success for himself. On Branding: You'll find many pearls in this episode in Kevin's notorious in-your-face rapid-fire delivery. How do you not only GRAB their attention but KEEP their attention? "Your brand should punch people in the face. You're not a grain of sand on the beach, you're a grain of sand on all the beaches of the world." And thus begins our entry into the world of Kevin Makes Sense.com How he met Mark Shulman Kevin's no stranger to punching people in the face with his branding. An 8' tall banner attracted Mark Schulman - drummer for Pink, Beyonce, Cher, Billy Idol (among others,) to Kevin's booth at the National Speakers Association convention. The banner pictured an electric chair with "Don't Be a Dead Brand Walking - Give Your Marketing a Jolt" emblazoned on the front. He got the gig. Kevin continues,"Your brand should speak for you even if you're not in the room." His take on C-Suite Network CEO Jeffrey Hayzlett: We talked about our mutual experience interviewing Jeffrey Hayzlett; yes, you sit up straighter in your seat and you'd better be quick on your feet; Jeffrey doesn't suffer fools. Only Kevin Neff would be able to boldly ask about the gift Jeffrey Hayzlett received from KISS Gene Simmons. Take a listen to learn what it is (and yes, I laughed...) When did Kevin know when he was successful? It's easy to assume you gain success by garnering the spotlight, and grabbing it by results. For Kevin, there was a time where success was making it month-to-month. He talks about going from hero to zero overnight and went from 6 figures to nothing. This experience helped him re-define success, "Success is doing biz w/ people you wanna work with, do work you enjoy doing and getting results for clients and knowing they would refer and use us again." He still faults himself on caring TOO much about what others think. "People wear failure like a lapel pin, but failure can sometimes be part of the process. It's what comes out of the failure - Did you pick yourself up by the bootstraps?" One and Done - do it right the first time. We talked about setting plans in motion and dealing with doubt. "If this doesn't work, what's Plan B? There is no Plan B... Plan B means there's an iota of failure." For Kevin, he can't have a seed of doubt. He would be so distracted by that grain of sand of doubt, that it would take his time and focus away from Plan A. What you focus on grows - focus on doing it right the first time.

Greetings everyone, my name is Julie Masters and welcome to another episode of Inside Influence. In which I delve into the minds of some of the world’s most fascinating influencers – or experts in influence - to get to the bottom of what it really takes to own your voice - and then amplify it to drive an industry, a conversation, a movement or a nation.In this episode, we are going to be fusing the world of influence and rock n roll...A few months ago - I had the huge privilege of being introduced - and being able to spend some time with the incredible Mark Schulman - who at the time of this interview was in the middle of touring as the lead drummer for multi platinum - global phenomenon - Pink. In addition to having performed for over 1 BILLION PEOPLE during his career - alongside world class performers such as Cher, Billy Idol, Simple Minds, Beyoncé and Tina Turner. Mark is also the author of the very fitting Conquering Life’s Stage Fright. In which he interviews global powerhouses like Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos), Jeremy Piven (well known Actor from the Entourage) and Alan Bean (Apollo 12 Astronaut) - out of sheer determination - and a personal commitment - to decode the magic of world-class performance.In other words what it takes to show up, reframe your fears and own what you’ve got with every cell in your body.What I loved about listening to Mark talk about the learnings from - and the process of writing - that particular book. Is that it’s a philosophy that sums him up entirely. While others are partying hard on the tour bus - Mark is sat with his headphones on - trying to unpack what makes masterful performers great - so he can show up even harder at the next location.I first met him on a cold winter’s morning in Sydney - I’m not sure what I was expecting - maybe someone vaguely (and understandably) tired after performing in front of an insane 21,000 people the night before. But the man that burst through the door - and quickly shot out again determined to make me a coffee - literally lit-up-the-room. As I would soon find out - this is one of the most engaged, curious and energised human beings that you could ever spend time with.Which speaks to the heart of this concept of the rockstar mindset - that attitude and energy are the PRIMARY fuel of any kind of world class performance - and everything, down to the phone call you just took - and the Tweet you’re about to send - is a form of performance.Like any field, mastering performance at a world-class level - isn’t about faking it. Or just putting a show. It’s about choosing your state, harnessing your energy, commiting to a lifetime of consistency, showing up and leaving everything you’ve got in the arena.So what did we talk about. During our conversation, we went rockstar hard into so many questions I had since first starting to learn about Mark’s career - including:Why what we perceive as fear - can be reframed as something manageable with some simple mental tools - One of those that I really want you to listen out for is the question ‘Am I free to fail…?’ - which I have literally used a hundred time since this interviewThe habits and rituals that literally transform paralysing fear into excitementWhat it means to ‘pick the stick back up’ and carry on - after any major set backHow to embody 'real' confidence - and the difference between that and rockstar certaintyHow to get out of your own way - and be of service - choosing the words ‘I get to do this’ rather than ‘I have to’ do this before any performanceWhat he took from interviewing some of the most incredible performers of our time - and the moment that motivated him to seek them outAnd why to him having a rockstar mindset is less about fame - and more about understanding that there are no small moments - every moment is criticalSo… get ready to flex your rock star muscles and soak up the insights of the insanely intelligent and insightful human being. Whether you’re a musician, a parent, a CEO, a doctor, a carpenter - or someone contemplating the next great leap. This episode is for the that moment - that moment when you have to choose between showing up with every shred of what you’ve got - or letting an opportunity to make real (and memorable) impact pass you by.So please - sit back - and enjoy my once in a lifetime conversation with Mark Schulman.

We salute the young surfers who invented the Seabin, a revolutionary ocean cleaning technology that sucks up plastic bags, paper, oil, fuel and detergent 24/7/365. Special 250th show interview with the legendary Mark Schulman, drummer for Pink, Cher, Beyonce and Billy Idol.

Creating a career drumming isn't easy. Creating a versatile drumming career is wiser, yet harder still. Creating a life that is driving with clarity, using your highest level of capability, and is executed with confidence is astronomically harder to achieve... Unless you put in the work, then something strange happens. Things begin to fall into place. Decades of experience as a drummer, author, speaker, coffee consumer, and full time human being First experience behind a drumset at 5 years old Experience starting with cello and moving to drums at 9 years old Moment watching The Beatles and Ringo Starr on Ed Sullivan Battle against Cancer Favorite books Moment of realization having played drums in front of over a billion people (1,000,000,000 - incase you don't realize how big that number is) Experience writing his book "3 Steps to Top Performance - Conquering Life's Stage Freight" Experience doing clinics since 1991 Failed audition for Bad English taught him more in a moment than many successes in his career. "It was the best worst day of my life."

How do we guide ourselves and our companies through the plethora of new technologies bombarding us every day? Awesome customer service is a sure fire way; How can you become one of the 9% of American adults who are millionaires. Here are three ways to start; Starbucks are holding over $1,25 billion on their loyalty cards…that would make them a medium sized bank. Great business (and profits ) in loyalty;$ unbelievable kid entrepreneurs demonstrate that age and environment are absolutely no barrier; My guest is Mark Schulman, drummer for Cher and Pink…and a whole lot more.

Rockstar drummer, author and speaker Mark Schulman has played in front of a billion people collectively (that?s billion?.with a B)!He?s played with Pink, Cher, Foreigner and Billy Idol to name a few.

Mark Schulman is here to teach us that we can all overcome stage fright if we follow what he calls the Three C’s. He has played drums with some of the most famed musicians of our time. From Tina Turner to Cher, to Stevie Nicks, Billy Idol to Beyonce, and three world tours with Pink you might get the sense that he’s just warming up.  Before he was voted one of the “Top 3 Pop-Rock Drummers” in the 2014 Modern Drummer Reader’s Poll, he learned what it would take to get there...putting in the long hours practicing his craft so he would be ready for opportunity when it came knocking; and, knocking it did. Mark has performed for an estimated one billion people over the course of his 27 year long career, so it might surprise you that he’s had his share of stage fright to overcome and understand from the inside-out. He has learned to harness his fear to be helpful rather than debilitating, and has written about his experience in his new book, Conquering Life’s Stage Fright. Mark’s story shows us how failure can be disguised as a pivotal moment for growth, if we’re willing to be open to the lesson.
