    TRP 300: The Power of Consistency with Mo Bunnell

    Episode 300 marks the 300th installment of The Rainmaking Podcast, and Scott Love celebrates the milestone by bringing back Mo Bunnell, a leading business development coach and author of Give to Grow, for a practical conversation on the power of consistency in business development. Mo explains that the biggest challenge for busy partners isn’t knowing what to do—it’s staying consistent when client work spikes and results from outreach feel unpredictable. Because BD rewards are “intermittent,” many professionals quit too soon; the winners are the ones who keep making small, repeatable investments over time, letting the law of large numbers work in their favor. Mo shares a simple operating system: plan quarterly, act weekly, execute daily—so you’re never trying to “decide and do” in the same moment. Quarterly planning focuses on brand visibility (beating obscurity), targeted relationship investment, measurable actions you control, and treating BD like a project rather than “random acts of lunch.” Weekly execution means choosing three BD actions that are BIG: Big impact, In your control (e.g., “invite Jane,” not “have lunch”), and Growth-oriented (proactive, not just “do great work”). Finally, he recommends a weekly accountability question—Did I do everything I could to grow this week?—plus a mindset shift from BD as an on/off switch to a dimmer, where even 15 minutes keeps momentum alive. Scott mentioned the planner link during this episode, but it’s not available just yet.

    TRP 299: [Legal] Avoiding Pitfalls Related to Personal Finances for Lawyers with Darren Wurz

    Episode 299 of The Rainmaking Podcast features Scott Love in conversation with Darren Wurz (author of The Lawyer Millionaire) on the most common personal-finance pitfalls attorneys face—and how to avoid them. Darren’s #1 warning is lifestyle creep: as income rises, spending rises with it (bigger house, cars, memberships, kids’ expenses), leaving high earners with surprisingly thin savings and heavy monthly burn. The fix starts with a mindset shift: define what truly drives happiness, think in concrete terms about “future you” (age + timeline), and recognize that money is a finite resource—especially when credit cards make overspending frictionless. From there, Darren shares a simple, tactical system for busy lawyers who hate budgeting: bank-account-based cash flow management (a “Profit First”-style approach). Income flows into an “income” account, then automatically gets allocated into separate accounts for bills (recurring expenses), spending (guilt-free discretionary), savings/investing, and taxes—so you always know what’s available and you’re prepared for quarterly tax hits. He recommends reviewing finances weekly (or at least twice monthly) to keep the data familiar and actionable.

You have so much potential and so many ideas. But instead of feeling like you’ve arrived, do you feel stuck or behind in getting to your goals? Do you feel stressed, super busy, and worried about the future? You’re not alone. Many law firm owners I’ve worked with started out feeling the same way. They didn’t have a clear plan for their money and so they were spending too much, keeping too little, and feeling a bit lost and disorganized. I specialize in helping successful, entrepreneurial law firm owners master their money so they can maximize their true financial potential. You make a lot of money—there’s no reason why we can’t make your dreams a reality. I’ll help you get crystal clear about the future you want for you and your family, create some big, long-term strategic goals, and formulate and implement a detailed plan to achieve those goals. It’s about so much more than retirement. It’s about creating the life you want. And for law firm owners that also means creating a strategy for your law firm’s operation and future that supports your personal goals. This includes law firm profitability, business strategy, succession planning, selling your practice, and more. Let’s make your dreams a reality.

    TRP 298: How to Fit BD Into your Already Hectic Schedule with Eva Wisnik

    Episode 298 of The Rainmaking Podcast features Scott Love in conversation with Eva Wisnik on how to fit business development into an already hectic schedule—especially for busy law firm partners and associates. Eva explains that many lawyers are trained to “issue spot” (anticipate what can go wrong), which is great for client service but can sabotage rainmaking unless it’s replaced with an opportunity-focused mindset. She reframes BD as “selling through substance”: asking better questions, showing genuine curiosity, and positioning outreach as problem-solving rather than “sales.” Her core message is that most BD resistance is fear (rejection, failure, imposing), and the antidote is shifting from self-focused thinking to client-centered value. Eva then gets tactical: build a pipeline by staying in touch with intent and consistency, because meaningful business relationships often take 2–5 years to convert. She recommends simple, repeatable habits—“one action a day” (send a thoughtful note, share a relevant article, set a meeting, register for a conference), plus tracking micro-actions to build momentum. Practical examples include handwritten notes, small meaningful gifts, and “thinking of you” outreach tied to something useful. Her three action steps: look backward to identify the clients/relationships you most enjoy and then find more like them, take one BD action daily, and track those actions as wins so the process stays sustainable and you maintain control of your career.

    TRP 297: [Legal] Unique Challenges in Lateral Moves for Partners with Chuck Curtis

    In Legal Episode 297 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes Chuck Curtis to discuss the unique challenges law firm partners face when considering a lateral move. Drawing on decades of experience in attorney recruiting and integration, Chuck explains that the decision to move should be driven primarily by platform fit—whether a firm truly supports and promotes a partner’s practice area. He emphasizes that partners must thoughtfully evaluate whether their current firm provides the marketing support, strategic alignment, and internal collaboration necessary to grow their book of business. Before going to market, partners should have candid conversations with leadership and, if moving as a group, align internally to ensure consensus and minimize risk. The episode also explores best practices for navigating the transition process, including handling compensation discussions, preparing for potential counteroffers, and managing group dynamics. Chuck highlights the importance of transparency, strategic planning, and cohesion—particularly when moving as a team. Successful lateral integrations, he notes, occur when partners understand their value proposition, collaborate early with their new colleagues, and treat the move as a long-term business decision rather than a short-term financial negotiation. For partners contemplating a move, this episode delivers practical guidance on reducing disruption and maximizing success in a competitive legal marketplace.

    TRP 296: Repurposing Content with Joshua Altman

    In Episode 296 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love interviews Joshua Altman, founder of Beltway Media, on how professional services firms can repurpose content to drive business development and brand visibility. Instead of treating webinars, interviews, white papers, or conference panels as “one-and-done” events, Joshua explains how a single piece of thought leadership can be transformed into blog posts, LinkedIn articles, short-form video clips, podcasts, email newsletters, and even white papers. By using a structured content calendar strategy, professionals can multiply their marketing output without constantly creating from scratch. Joshua outlines a practical framework for modern content marketing built around four engagement pillars: what clients read, see, hear, and experience. He emphasizes planning ahead, avoiding platform dependency, and leveraging existing material to build consistent visibility across channels like LinkedIn, YouTube, email marketing, and professional blogs. For lawyers, consultants, and financial advisors looking to grow their brand and generate inbound business, this episode delivers tactical guidance on scalable content marketing, personal branding, and strategic media repurposing.
