Episode Summary:

What does it really take to reinvent your life, career, and mindset...across continents?

In this episode of Fraud to Fearless, Hayden sits down with Jake Taiariol, a global management consultant whose journey has taken him from Michigan to Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and now Copenhagen, Denmark. Together, they unpack how intentional career moves, adaptability, and a consistent meditation practice helped Jake navigate high-pressure consulting roles, major life transitions, and the loneliness that can come with starting over in new cities.

Jake shares how studying organizational psychology shaped his consulting career, what it’s like to solve complex problems as an external consultant, and how meditation became a critical tool for mental resilience, focus, and self-leadership, especially during COVID, career promotions, and international relocation.

From building trust with clients to designing a life aligned with personal values, this conversation explores how growth happens when you stop waiting to be “ready” and start taking ownership of your path.

If you’re navigating career change, considering a big move, working in corporate America or consulting, or curious about how meditation supports performance and well-being, this episode offers practical insight, honest reflection, and inspiration to take the next step, one day at a time.
