Pretty much what the title says. I just got a reply from a rainmaker (heads an entire regional office) at a BB who's an alumni of my school (non-target) and set up a call for 2 weeks from now. What do I ask him/talk about with him?

A rainmaker is a guy bringing in deals, not a guy who's rich. Wealth is just incidental
I know, I just don't want to give away too much information
I'm sure you can figure this one out on your own, chief.
There are plenty of resources on WSO that can help you polish yourself for networking. For sure check those out since they'll give you more structure and direction. That being said - start with small talk about yourself and your school. Ask him about his time there, if he keeps in contact with any classmates etc. In general, people love talking about themselves. Ask about how he broke into the industry from your school and any advice he would give to you. End of the conversation ask if there's anyone he recommends that you reach out to and go from there. Best of luck
