The experience
The path to meanderingSapien
Four turns, one thread: finding the problem underneath the problem.
-
01
Enterprise consulting
I started at Deloitte, then worked with companies like IBM and 3M, helping Fortune 500 companies price, package, and sell in fast-moving markets. Consulting taught me the skill of finding the problem underneath the problem.

2021, founding calmcorporate
In 2021, I left the corporate world and founded calmcorporate, bringing mindfulness into leadership teams under real pressure. It slowly evolved into executive coaching and, as AI reshaped work, AI executive coaching, leading me to a much bigger problem.

What changed
My clients were not just using AI; they were being judged by it. Their next client was not Googling anymore. They were asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI who to hire, and taking the first answer they got.

04
The gap worth fixing
Brilliant attorneys, advisors, and agents were invisible in those answers, not because they were not the best, but because nobody had ever told the machines who they are.
Experience and trust
What meanderingSapien does
Helping professional services become visible, trusted, and recommended in AI search
I built meanderingSapien, an AI Search Optimization practice, for attorneys, wealth advisors, CPAs & professional services: the people who win on trust and referrals
The work runs on a framework I call MAC: Machine Signal, Authority Signal, and Content Signal. Through this, you can:
01
Audit how AI sees your firm today
02
Fix the machine layer so it can read your site
03
Build the authority signals AI relies on
04
Create content that answers your buyers’ questions
The goal is simple. When your ideal client asks AI who to hire, you are the answer.
What clients say about working with me
Practical guidance for complex business problems
“
I highly recommend Raja for his knowledge on showing up in LLM searches! Here’s why: I attended a hands-on workshop with Raja during which he walked us through hands-on methods to get our business website showing up in LLMs. I knew my website had structural issues and wasn’t showing up. During the workshop, I was able to complete several of the steps he outlined. Then I implemented several additional within 2 or so days after. His guidance was SO CLEAR and easy to follow, especially since I popped it all into Claude and had it execute his steps. Then, about two weeks later I got my first lead from ChatGPT! Clearly, it worked.

Raja is always such a joy to speak with. He’s always present, listens well, and is able to deliver tough love as needed. I feel seen and heard, and I walked away with a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of self. I also appreciate that he can provide his perspective as a wiser man. Thank you for the help, Raja!
