Everyday Rockstar® Keynote (Mark Schulman & Heather J. Crider)
A rock show disguised as a keynote. There are musician speakers. There are neuroscience speakers. There is no one else anywhere doing what Mark and Heather do together, on the same stage, as one experience. 60–90 minutes · live drums · concert energy · full audience participation.
Mark has performed for more than a billion people on the world's biggest stages: drummer for P!NK, Cher, Billy Idol, Stevie Nicks, and Foreigner. Heather is the NeuroPerformance Architect behind CRED, built on 3,500+ independent studies. Together they don't talk about performing under pressure. They put the whole room inside it.
This isn't a keynote your audience watches. It's one they're inside of. Live drumming that makes the audience feel the difference between survival mode and real impact, in their own bodies. Partner exercises. Neuroscience moments they can feel, not just understand. They don't discover CRED from a slide deck. They discover it from inside their own experience — and they leave the room having already become what they came to hear about: Everyday Rockstars.
- The only keynote anywhere that fuses stadium-level live performance with a validated neuroscience framework
- Fully interactive: live drumming, partner exercises, and real-time neuroscience moments the audience experiences firsthand
- Delivers CRED — Clarity, Resilience, Empathy, Delivery — the same four dimensions measured by the Impact Index
- Every story is a live demonstration under real pressure: Cher's harness failure 25 feet above the stage, a name forgotten in front of 50,000 people
- We don't just inspire people. We change how they perform. Measurably. Every time.

“The Attitude Equation: Rockstars in All Fields Share Their Secret Attitudes” (2024)
Attitude is at the heart of all human behavior and interaction, which has a significant bearing on positive outcomes. Attitude is fundamental to perception and one’s responses to the world. Attitudinal improvement is the single best investment you can make in life because of its direct impact on future outcomes. In The Attitude Equation, you’ll hear from some of the most successful people today, outlining the roadmap others can take toward personal and professional success. “Attitude is one of the most powerful forces affecting human behavior and outcomes. By defining such a simple formula—Attitude x Behavior = Consequence—Dr. Jim Samuels and Mark Schulman have created a simple blueprint to allow you to drive desirable outcomes in your life. And if you reverse engineer the formula by deciding on the consequences you want to achieve, then you can more clearly see the behavior that would create those consequences and the attitude(s) you would need to generate the appropriate behavior. You get thirty-nine interviews with some of the great thinkers on the planet, giving examples of their experiences supporting this formula. This book is a declaration of the absolute power of attitude!” —Josh Linkner, 5x tech entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, venture capital investor, jazz musician The Attitude Equation is an indispensable collection of conversations with leaders in a variety of fields, from bestselling authors to musicians, to actors and directors, that are as entertaining as they are enlightening, shedding light on the key adjustments to attitude that led them to be successful. Featuring Judd Apatow, Grant Cardone, Martina Navratilova, Matt Sorum, Bonnie St. John, Howie Mandel, and many more.
