Can Music Make a Rainmaker?

David H. Freeman is a consultant and author drawing from his experience in the legal industry to help lawyers become “great rainmakers.”  A former attorney, Freeman created an accountability and development training program called Lawyer BookBuilder. One current tool used to aid learning and development is music, and Freeman details how this can help a lawyer in progress in their career. 

The Power of Music in Memory and Learning

Using music as a tool to aid in memory – Freeman points out that mot people can recite songs from childhood from memory since “beat, lyrics, hook, repetition—they all burn deeply into the mind.”

Music and Business Development

As Freeman created his development program, he enlisted the use of music to create an eleven-song musical that follows a protagonist on their path toward becoming a rainmaker. Freeman admits he isn’t a musician, but he used artificial intelligence and other music programs to help turn the idea into reality via prompts for lyrics. 

The Rainmaker’s Journey

Using catchy lyrics and melodies, the songs reveal advice and truths about becoming business developers. A sample song is called “Brand New Me,” and teaches about personal branding with lyrics such as “I am my brand, and my brand is me.” Another song, called “Habits of Success” relates to the importance of good systems in place for business development. All the songs are available on various music platforms.
