048 – Mark Schulman (P!nk / Cher): Keys to making it in the music business

In this podcast I talked to drummer Mark Schulman, who is best known for his work with Foreigner, Cher, P!nk and many other A-list acts.  Mark’s message, one of positivity, hard work, dedication and effective networking, gives insight into what is required to make it in the extremely competitive music business.  “Your network is your net worth” as Mark says, and your success lies within your ability to foster mutually beneficial relationships and having the skill and confidence to deliver when needed.

“Your job is to hold the band together your job is to support everybody in that band, it’s your job to give that band what they want, when they need it, always that’s your role.”  – Bernard “Pretty” Purdie
