Greg the Hydrogen Man | Is Hydrogen the Missing Link Between Life & Consciousness?27 Sep 202601:45:29

Ep 259 One World in a New World with Greg the Hydrogen ManWhat if the simplest and most abundant element in the universe has something to teach us not only about biology—but about consciousness itself?In this extraordinary episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with molecular hydrogen researcher and educator Greg the Hydrogen Man for a conversation that travels far beyond conventional discussions of hydrogen and water.Greg’s journey began surprisingly early. As a child, he experienced an intense sense of spiritual disconnection accompanied by visions, inner experiences, and questions about human suffering that he struggled to understand. Those experiences eventually became part of a much larger search—one that carried him through personal crisis, a near-death experience, more than two decades working around the medical field, and eventually into an intensive exploration of molecular hydrogen.What begins as a conversation about hydrogen quickly becomes something much bigger.Zen and Greg explore the relationship between hydrogen, water, cellular health, consciousness, gratitude, intention, purity, skepticism and our connection with the larger universe. Greg shares the experiences and observations that led him to view hydrogen not merely as an element, but as what he calls the “life molecule”—while Zen connects the conversation with themes explored in Coherence: From Hydrogen to Humanity.Along the way, they ask provocative questions about what happens when we stop separating the physical from the inner world. Could caring for the body affect the clarity with which we experience consciousness? What role might clean water, attention, gratitude and intention play in human wellbeing? And why does something as seemingly simple as hydrogen open such enormous questions about life itself?One of the most compelling moments arrives near the end when the conversation turns toward purity—not only purity of water, air and food, but what Zen describes as the purity of our “attention, intention, and interaction.” Greg responds that purity may ultimately be one of our closest approaches to truth.This isn't simply a conversation about hydrogen.It is an invitation to reconsider the relationship between the elemental and the experiential, the measurable and the mysterious, the body and consciousness.Come curious. Question everything. Explore the evidence for yourself.And perhaps ask a deceptively simple question:What changes when we begin treating the human body, mind, environment and consciousness as parts of one interconnected system?This conversation includes personal experiences, interpretations and health-related claims from the guest and should not be considered medical advice. Health decisions should be discussed with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.#Hydrogen #MolecularHydrogen #Consciousness #Water #Coherence #Gratitude #NDE #Wellbeing #OneWorldinaNewWorld #ZenBenefielConnect with Greg: https://www.instagram.com/uprising144k_Greg's Podcast Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCiyGbH-19m_qXPPqiGR6VwA Lourdes Hydrofix: https://holyhydrogen.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZl_29zHxehqeL89KSCWFA/join__________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8🎁 Support: https://PlanetaryCitizens.net/donate 🎁Connect with Zen: / zenbenefiel Zen's books: https://amazon.com/author/zendorZen's Coaching: https://BeTheDream.com Zen's CV et al: https://zenbenefiel.comThe Octopus Movement (non-linear thinkers): https://theoctopusmovement.orgJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZl_29zHxehqeL89KSCWFA/join

Ep 258 Can AI Help Us Become Human? with Marty Clemons20 Sep 202601:34:56

Ep 258 One World in a New World with Marty Clemons, JDWhat if AI isn't the crisis—but an accelerant revealing how urgently our human systems need to evolve?In this expansive conversation, regenerative strategy advisor and governance attorney Marty Clemons joins Zen Benefiel to explore what happens when inner development, systems thinking, technology, governance and regenerative design converge.Marty's journey moves from a curious teenager questioning the reality around her, through yoga, entrepreneurship, law, technology and systems architecture, toward a provocative realization: many of the systems we call “broken” may actually be functioning exactly as they were designed—extracting value rather than regenerating life.So what happens when artificial intelligence enters those systems?Rather than simply asking how AI can make humans more productive, Marty challenges us to ask something larger: What are humans for in the Intelligence Age?The conversation explores AI as an accelerant, human development, regenerative versus extractive systems, shared benefit, governance, sovereign data, collaboration, trust, pattern recognition, inner work and the possibility of consciously engineering the next decade of extraordinary change.Zen also introduces the AI Universal Engine™ as another approach to human–AI collaboration—bringing deterministic machine precision together with human wisdom while keeping consequential choices human.Marty ultimately brings the conversation home: transformation begins by paying attention. Observe your thoughts, words, actions and inactions. Recognize the patterns. Take responsibility for the energy you contribute.Because if we want a different world, we have to become different people capable of creating it.Join us for a wonderfully unconventional exploration of how humanity might move from extraction toward regeneration—and use emerging intelligence to help create a future of shared benefit.Questions This Conversation ExploresIf AI is an accelerant, what exactly are we choosing to accelerate?Can we redesign extractive systems so AI creates shared benefit while helping humans reach more of their potential?And underneath both: How much must human consciousness develop to responsibly govern the intelligence we're creating?Connect with Marty: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martyclemons/Marty's Website: https://bigloveventures.com/Co-regeneration Station: https://www.co-regenerationstation.com/__________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8🎁 Support: https://PlanetaryCitizens.net/donate 🎁Connect with Zen: / zenbenefiel Zen's books: https://amazon.com/author/zendorZen's Coaching: https://BeTheDream.com Zen's CV et al: https://zenbenefiel.comThe Octopus Movement (non-linear thinkers): https://theoctopusmovement.orgJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZl_29zHxehqeL89KSCWFA/join

Nkechi Egonu | Emotions Are Data: Redesigning the Human Experience13 Sep 202601:16:47

Ep 257 One World in a New World with Nkechi Egonu


What if the emotions we’ve been taught to suppress, manage or dismiss are actually data—signals revealing how our human systems really work?


In this provocative and deeply personal episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Nkechi Egonu, human experience architect and African systems researcher, for an exploration of intuition, emotional intelligence, inherited patterns, self-trust and the possibility of designing systems that work with human nature rather than against it.


Nkechi's journey began long before she had language for it.


Growing up in Nigeria within a Christian environment, she experienced an active inner dialogue, intuition, lucid dreams and insights that didn't always fit comfortably within the structures around her. Rather than rejecting those experiences, she eventually began documenting them.


Something remarkable emerged.


She discovered patterns.


That inquiry evolved into her work with human-centered systems architecture and a foundational insight: emotions aren't interference in a system. They're information about the system.


What happens when anxiety, discomfort, resistance, competition, scarcity or even shame are treated not simply as personal problems, but as signals revealing something about the environments we've designed?


Nkechi shares how this perspective exposed unintended patterns inside a women's development program she was creating. Although designed to encourage collaboration, deeper analysis revealed familiar structures of competition, exclusion and even humiliation hiding inside the model.


So she redesigned it.


Competition became competition with yesterday's self.


Relationships became collaborative.


Participants moved from being led toward leading themselves.


And growth became less about imposing another program on people and more about creating conditions in which people could develop sustainable new patterns.


Zen and Nkechi venture even deeper—into Ubuntu, African indigenous systems, self-love, ancestral patterns, intuition, archetypes, shadow work, questioning inherited beliefs, learning to receive, and the courage required to face what the mirror reveals.


Perhaps one of Nkechi's simplest observations is also among the most powerful:


If computers and phones continually update, why should human beings remain static?


We can observe.

We can question.

We can recalibrate.

We can update.


And sometimes transformation begins with something incredibly small: saying what you're going to do—and then doing it.


That tiny agreement begins rebuilding trust with yourself.


Join us for an unusually candid exploration of what becomes possible when inner awareness meets systems thinking—and when we stop designing humans to fit our systems and begin designing systems that honor the complexity of being human.


What signals might your emotions be revealing about the systems you're living within?

Elinor Stutz | From Near-Death Experience to a Life of Purpose06 Sep 202601:12:39

Ep 256 One World in a New World with Elinor Stutz


What if the experiences that nearly break us are actually invitations to discover who we came here to become?


In this inspiring episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes international bestselling author, speaker, sales innovator, and Nice Girls DO Get the Sale author Elinor Stutz for a remarkable conversation about intuition, resilience, relationships, storytelling, self-belief—and turning life's unexpected challenges into service.


Elinor's story changed dramatically at age 55.


Following two serious traffic accidents and hospitalization, she experienced what she describes as a near-death experience surrounded by brilliant golden light. Two extraordinary visions emerged: one of herself speaking before audiences and another resembling a "life report card."


One side reflected what she had accomplished.


The other—community service—was blank.


In that moment, Elinor made a commitment that would redirect her life: if she walked out of the hospital, she would find ways to give back and empower others.


She did.


But perhaps even more remarkable is what followed.


Elinor shares how speaking directly and confidently to her surgeon became part of what medical staff later called her miraculous recovery. She recounts an extraordinary encounter with a mysterious physician after the accident, the intuition that compelled her to leave the Ambassador Hotel shortly before Robert F. Kennedy's assassination, and the breadcrumbs that continued appearing throughout her life.


Yet this conversation isn't simply about extraordinary experiences.


It's about what we do with them.


Elinor and Zen explore how curiosity, careful observation, listening, intuition and genuine interest in another person can transform everything from sales and leadership to friendship and everyday human connection.


Her sales philosophy is remarkably simple:


Stop trying to sell people and start getting to know them.


Ask better questions.

Listen carefully.

Observe.

Share stories.

Discover what actually matters to the person in front of you.


Elinor demonstrates that philosophy through wonderfully entertaining stories—from selling Girl Scout cookies at age ten and interviewing her way through a male-dominated corporate sales culture to turning a hostile security guard into an unexpected ally with one tiny Halloween candy bar.


Behind the humor is a profound lesson:


People remember how we make them feel.


Perhaps relationship-building isn't a sales technique at all.


Perhaps it's simply what happens when we become genuinely curious about another human being.


And perhaps resilience begins the same way—by becoming curious about ourselves.


Elinor's closing invitation beautifully summarizes a lifetime of experience:


Believe. Become. Empower.


Believe in yourself.


Become the person you know you can be.


Then empower others to discover the same possibility within themselves.


Join us for a warm, funny, surprising and deeply human exploration of resilience, intuition, storytelling, sales, service and what becomes possible when we finally decide to live life our own way.


What might change if you stopped trying to convince people—and became genuinely curious about them instead?

Dr. Rollin McCraty | HeartMath, Heart-Brain Coherence & the Science of Connection30 Aug 202601:25:01

EP 255 One World in a New World with Rollin McCratyWhat if one of the most sophisticated technologies you'll ever encounter is already beating inside your chest?In this extraordinary episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., psychophysiologist, researcher, author, and Research Director at the HeartMath Institute, for a fascinating exploration of heart coherence, heart-brain communication, intuition, consciousness, the biofield, emotional self-regulation, and global coherence.And this conversation gets personal.Rollin shares an extraordinary early childhood experience—one he rarely discusses—that left him with a profound sense that reality was far greater than the religious explanations surrounding him. That early awareness eventually became part of a lifelong journey bridging direct human experience with scientific investigation.That journey helped lead him to HeartMath.Rollin explains how early HeartMath research began investigating something science had largely neglected at the time: What actually happens physiologically when we genuinely experience appreciation, kindness and compassion?What researchers observed helped lead to what HeartMath calls a coherent state—measurable coordination among physiological systems, particularly in heart-brain communication. Rollin discusses how these states relate to clearer thinking, emotional stability, performance and self-regulation.But this isn't merely theory.During the conversation, Rollin walks us through a simple Shift and Lift practice beginning with heart-focused breathing: bringing attention to the heart area, breathing somewhat more deeply and slowly, and activating a genuine feeling such as appreciation, kindness or compassion.The conversation then ventures much further.What is the relationship between the physical heart and what Rollin calls the energetic heart?Can our physiological systems respond to information before we're consciously aware of it?What does HeartMath's research suggest about intuition?How do our emotional states affect our interactions with other people?And what happens when we move from personal coherence to global coherence?One particularly powerful theme emerges when Rollin contrasts humanity's obsession with external technology—including AI—with what he calls our largely unexplored inner technology.We have extraordinary devices in our pockets, yet how well have we learned to regulate ourselves?Perhaps the next frontier isn't simply building smarter machines.Perhaps it's learning to become more coherent humans.Rollin ultimately leaves us with a wonderfully simple reminder:Everybody has a heart.And every one of us has an opportunity to become more conscious of what we're bringing into our relationships, communities and world.Join us for a rare, deep and practical conversation exploring the science—and possibility—of living from a more coherent heart.Questions This Episode ExploresWhat actually happens in the body when the heart and brain become more coherent?Could learning to regulate our inner state change not only our lives, but the way humanity relates?HeartMath Institute: https://www.heartmath.org/Rollin's Books: https://amzn.to/4gmqMA4YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/HeartMathInstitute#RollinMcCraty, #HeartMath, #HeartMathInstitute, #HeartCoherence, #HeartBrainCoherence, #HRV, #Consciousness, #HeartIntelligence, #GlobalCoherence, #HumanPotential, #OneWorldinaNewWorld__________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8🎁 Support: https://PlanetaryCitizens.net/donate 🎁Connect with Zen: / zenbenefiel Zen's books: https://amazon.com/author/zendorZen's Coaching: https://BeTheDream.com Zen's CV et al: https://zenbenefiel.comThe Octopus Movement (non-linear thinkers): https://theoctopusmovement.org

Steve Pasin | Are We Wired to Win, Control, Dominate & Be Right?23 Aug 202601:43:13

Ep 254 One World in a New World with Steve PasinWhat if some of our deepest beliefs about love, truth, choice, spirituality—and even human goodness—are stories we've never seriously tested?In this provocative episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Steve Pasin for a conversation that quickly becomes a spirited exploration of epigenetics, human nature, consciousness, quantum physics, truth, free will, relationships, cooperation, and the beliefs that shape our lives.Steve traces his inquiry back to a painful childhood experience. At five years old, after being struck by the father he regarded as his hero, he remembers making a defining internal decision: "I don't want to be like you." Decades later, he came to interpret that experience through the lens of epigenetics and began investigating how thought, stress, decision-making, and biology might interact.The conversation becomes especially compelling when Steve presents his challenging thesis: human beings are fundamentally driven to win, control, dominate, and be right.Zen pushes back.What about love? Service? Cooperation? Conscious evolution? Can humanity transcend patterns of dominance—or are cooperation and altruism simply more sophisticated expressions of our survival instinct?Rather than avoiding their disagreement, Steve and Zen explore it.They wrestle with the difference between truth and opinion, scientific proof and direct experience, the observer effect, visualization, relationships, free will, entropy, spirituality, the nature of self, and whether humanity can build systems based on cooperation rather than aggression. The transcript also includes speculative interpretations of quantum physics and consciousness; these are presented as part of their dialogue and inquiry, not as established scientific conclusions.Perhaps the most important lesson isn't which man is right.It's what happens when two people can strongly challenge one another, remain curious, and keep listening.In a culture increasingly divided by certainty, can disagreement become a pathway to discovery rather than conflict?Join us and decide for yourself.Questions the Episode ExploresAre humans fundamentally wired to win, control, dominate, and be right?How do we distinguish truth from belief, opinion, and personal experience?Can an early childhood decision influence the trajectory of an entire life?What can epigenetics legitimately tell us about experience and biological expression?Can cooperation coexist with our drive for survival?Does love ultimately involve getting something we need from another person?Is free will real, constrained, or illusory?Can direct experience constitute evidence?What happens when science encounters experiences it cannot yet measure?Can humanity move from dominance toward genuine collaboration?Most importantly: Can two people disagree deeply without becoming enemies?Steve's Website: https://tamingthefetaltyrant.com/Steve's book, Taming the Fetal Tyrant: https://amzn.to/4wEK20A#StevePasin, #HumanNature, #Epigenetics, #Consciousness, #CriticalThinking, #HumanBehavior, #Truth, #OneWorldinaNewWorldJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZl_29zHxehqeL89KSCWFA/join__________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8🎁 Support: https://PlanetaryCitizens.net/donate 🎁Connect with Zen: / zenbenefiel Zen's books: https://amazon.com/author/zendorZen's Coaching: https://BeTheDream.com Zen's CV et al: https://zenbenefiel.comThe Octopus Movement (non-linear thinkers): https://theoctopusmovement.org

What If AI Isn't the Real Threat? with Paolo Sironi16 Aug 202601:20:20

Ep 253 One World in a New World with Paolo Sironi - Author of "Quantum Sapiens"What if the greatest danger of artificial intelligence isn't that machines become human—but that humans begin mistaking what can be measured for everything that matters?In this extraordinary episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Paolo Sironi—fintech and banking thought leader, global research leader for banking and financial markets at IBM's Institute for Business Value, and author of Quantum Sapiens—for a journey that begins with financial uncertainty and ventures into some of humanity's oldest and most provocative questions.Paolo's journey toward consciousness began in an unexpected place: quantitative finance. He discovered that sophisticated models could measure risk while never fully representing reality. Markets contain emotion, intention, uncertainty, and human behavior that cannot simply be compressed into equations. That realization eventually opened a much larger question: What else are we mistaking the model for the reality itself?From there, Zen and Paolo explore consciousness, irreversible time, fundamental uncertainty, quantum gravity, language, meaning, artificial intelligence, free will, love, and what Paolo calls the eternal present.Their conversation challenges one of the defining assumptions of our technological age: that because something can be represented by data, it has been understood.A map is not the landscape.A photograph of a sunset is not the experience of standing beside someone you love as the sun disappears beneath the horizon.And an AI capable of extraordinary language may still be fundamentally different from the consciousness that gives language meaning.Paolo introduces a compelling distinction between wisdom and consciousness. Wisdom draws upon what experience has already taught us; consciousness remains open to what we do not yet know. That radical openness becomes essential when confronting AI, scientific uncertainty, planetary challenges, and our own assumptions about reality.The conversation ultimately arrives somewhere both ancient and startlingly contemporary: love, difference, and human connection. If reality is fundamentally entangled, perhaps our differences are not obstacles to unity but expressions of it.This isn't simply a conversation about quantum physics or artificial intelligence. It's an invitation to reconsider the lens through which we understand ourselves.What if the most important innovation ahead isn't another technology?What if it is changing the way we see?Join us for a remarkable exploration of Quantum Sapiens and the possibilities waiting beyond the measurable.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZl_29zHxehqeL89KSCWFA/joinSubscribe for weekly discussions on philosophy and human behavior, and let us know in the comments what topic you would like us to cover next.Paolo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thepsironi/Paolo's Books: https://amzn.to/4x3iX8rPaolo's Website: https://www.thepsironi.com/#QuantumSapiens #PaoloSironi #AI #Consciousness #QuantumPhysics #Humanity #FutureOfAI #QuantumConsciousness #oneworldobservatory __________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8🎁 Support: https://PlanetaryCitizens.net/donate 🎁Connect with Zen: / zenbenefiel Zen's books: https://amazon.com/author/zendorZen's Coaching: https://BeTheDream.com Zen's CV et al: https://zenbenefiel.comThe Octopus Movement (non-linear thinkers): https://theoctopusmovement.org

The One Skill That Can Change Your Life (Hint: It's Not What You Think) with Colin Smith09 Aug 202601:41:42

Ep 252 One World in a New World with Colin SmithWhat if listening could change the world?In this thoughtful episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Colin Smith, founder of Dexterity Solutions and widely known as "The Listener." Together they explore why genuine listening is far more than hearing words—it's an act of presence that creates trust, belonging, clarity, and transformation.Drawing from decades of experience in leadership, coaching, customer service, and volunteer work with the Samaritans, Colin explains how simply creating a safe space for another person often allows them to solve their own challenges. Rather than fixing problems, true listening invites deeper thinking, emotional safety, and authentic human connection.The conversation expands into consciousness, intuition, curiosity, silence, AI, personal sovereignty, the Friendship Bench community, and humanity's collective awakening. Together, Zen and Colin explore how slowing down, asking better questions, and becoming fully present may be among the most powerful leadership skills of our time.Whether you're a leader, coach, entrepreneur, educator, counselor, or simply someone seeking richer relationships, this conversation offers timeless wisdom for living—and listening—with greater intention.Questions This Episode ExploresWhy do so few people truly listen?What happens when someone finally feels heard?Can listening become a spiritual practice?How does silence deepen connection?Why do people solve their own problems when given space?What role does curiosity play in leadership?How do we create psychological safety?Why is presence more powerful than advice?What changed about human connection after COVID?How can AI support—not replace—human wisdom?Connect with Colin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colindsmith1/Colin's Website: https://dexteritysolutions.co.uk/#ColinSmith #ActiveListening #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #Communication #ConsciousLeadership #OneWorldinaNewWorldJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZl_29zHxehqeL89KSCWFA/join__________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8🎁 Support: https://PlanetaryCitizens.net/donate 🎁Connect with Zen: / zenbenefiel Zen's books: https://amazon.com/author/zendorZen's Coaching: https://BeTheDream.com Zen's CV et al: https://zenbenefiel.comThe Octopus Movement (non-linear thinkers): https://theoctopusmovement.org

Neale Donald Walsch Reveals God's Most Important Message12 Jul 202601:00:40

Ep 248 One World in a New World with Neale Donald Walsch


Some voices don't simply inspire—they help millions remember who they already are.


For decades, Neale Donald Walsch has invited readers around the world into a deeper conversation about God, consciousness, purpose, and the nature of reality through his groundbreaking Conversations with God series.


In this extraordinary episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Neale for an intimate exploration of awakening, commitment, unconditional love, world peace, quantum awareness, indigenous wisdom, and humanity's next evolutionary step.


More than an interview, this is an invitation to remember that we are not separate beings trying to find God—we are expressions of the same infinite consciousness learning to recognize ourselves in one another.


What if God's most important message to humanity could be expressed in just five words?


Together they explore:


✨ Spiritual awakening

✨ Conversations with God

✨ Consciousness and oneness

✨ The purpose of suffering

✨ Quantum awareness

✨ Indigenous wisdom

✨ Humanity's collective evolution

✨ World peace

✨ Love without conditions

✨ The agenda of the soul


Neale shares the remarkable events that led to his now-famous conversation with God after losing his marriage, career, and nearly his life in a devastating automobile accident. Those experiences became the catalyst for one of the most influential spiritual book series of our time.


Among the many memorable insights discussed:


• Why life begins with Being, not Doing.

• The powerful question: "What does this have to do with the agenda of my soul?"

• Why "differences do not have to create divisions."

• How commitment opens the doorway to transformation.

• Why humanity may be entering "the storm before the calm."

• God's five-word message to humanity:

"You've got me all wrong."


The conversation concludes with a hopeful vision for humanity's future—one built not upon fear or separation, but upon remembering our shared divinity and choosing love one relationship at a time.


If you've ever wondered:


• Why am I here?

• What is my soul's purpose?

• Can humanity truly create world peace?

• How do I awaken spiritually?

• What does it really mean to be one with God?


This conversation is for you.

Michael Brooke | Curiosity, Coherence & Following Life's Hidden Patterns05 Jul 202601:26:13

Ep 247 One World in a New World with Michael Brook


What if the most important patterns in your life only become visible when you stop trying to force answers and begin following curiosity?


In this profound conversation, Zen Benefiel sits down with Michael Brooke—publisher of Bridgewave Magazine, founder of the Inside Atlas, longtime systems thinker, and creator of a unique self-reflection framework—to explore coherence, consciousness, curiosity, AI, purpose, and the remarkable interconnectedness that quietly shapes our lives.


Questions this episode explores:


• What if your greatest strength is something no traditional personality test can measure?

• How does curiosity become the doorway to coherence?

• Can AI help us understand ourselves more deeply rather than replace us?

• Why do life's seemingly random events often reveal profound patterns decades later?

• What is the difference between systems thinking and systems feeling?

• How do willingness, reflection, alignment, balance, harmony, and flow naturally build upon one another?


Together they discuss:


• Finding your authentic operating system

• Why many gifted people never feel they fit in

• Systems thinking versus systems feeling

• Curiosity as a transformational practice

• Death, grief, hospice, and the changing cultural conversation

• AI as a partner for human reflection

• Synchronicity and life's "reverse breadcrumbs"

• Alignment, balance, harmony, and flow

• Why coherence may be humanity's next evolutionary step


One particularly memorable insight emerges through Michael's reflection:


"Curiosity."


Sometimes a single question changes everything.


If you've ever sensed there is more happening beneath the surface of everyday life, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for navigating that deeper reality.

Ep 245 - One World in a New World with Jacqueline Way


What if the future of humanity depends less on artificial intelligence… and more on human intelligence?


In this extraordinary episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Jacqueline Way — keynote speaker, founder of the global giving movement 365 Give, TEDx speaker, and advocate for the human intelligence AI can never replace.


Together, they explore the deep intersections of spirituality, trauma, adoption, consciousness, emotional intelligence, parenting, love, coherence, and the simple practices that reconnect us to what matters most.


Jacqueline shares her remarkable personal journey:

✨ Childhood spiritual awareness

✨ Trauma and healing

✨ Becoming an adoptive mother

✨ Creating the worldwide 365 Give movement

✨ Discovering the science of giving and happiness

⚡ AI, recursive awareness, and human evolution

🎭 Daily practices that restore inner peace

🌱 Spirituality beyond religion or dogma


One of the most moving reflections:

Jacqueline beautifully explains the “daily dose of happiness” created through love:

✨ Dopamine

✨ Oxytocin

✨ Serotonin

✨ Endorphins


And perhaps the most powerful daily practice shared in the episode:


“If love was a person, what would love think, what would love say, and how would love act in the world?”


This is a conversation about:

🌟 Remembering who we are

🌟 Reconnecting to ourselves

🌟 Creating coherence through kindness

From Prison to Decision Intelligence | Christian Torres on AI, Leadership & Redemption14 Jun 202601:33:53

Ep 244 One World in a New World with Christian Torres


What happens when a gifted young man from the South Bronx earns a scholarship to one of New York's most prestigious schools, becomes a police officer, commits a life-altering mistake, spends nearly a decade in prison—including 18 months in solitary confinement—and emerges with a profound understanding of human potential, decision-making, and artificial intelligence?


In this remarkable conversation, Zen Benefiel sits down with Christian Torres, decision intelligence strategist, former NYPD officer, and Director of Business Intelligence, to explore one of the most powerful redemption stories we've featured on One World in a New World.


Together they dive into:


🔹 The lessons hidden inside adversity

🔹 Why smart people make terrible decisions

🔹 The psychology of fear, pride, greed, and scarcity

🔹 Solitary confinement, self-reflection, and transformation

🔹 AI as a tool for human evolution rather than replacement

🔹 The importance of values, reputation, and integrity

🔹 Decision intelligence and organizational leadership

🔹 Why community may be humanity's greatest technology

🔹 The future relationship between AI and human wisdom

🔹 How to redirect your gifts toward purpose and service


Christian shares how two books—The Bible and Think and Grow Rich—became catalysts for transformation during his darkest moments, and how a prison factory job using Microsoft Excel unexpectedly launched a career in analytics, forecasting, systems thinking, and strategic decision-making.


More importantly, he reveals a truth that applies to all of us:


The same talents that can lead us astray can also be redirected toward extraordinary contribution.


This conversation is ultimately about redemption, responsibility, human potential, and what becomes possible when we stop defining ourselves by our mistakes and start building from our strengths.


If you've ever wondered:


Can people truly change?

What creates better decisions?

How should humans work with AI?

What happens when identity is stripped away?

How do we turn adversity into wisdom?


This episode is for you.

Awareness Before Answers: Navigating a Fragmented World with Will Steel29 Mar 202601:22:49

Ep 233 One World in a New World with Will Steel


Questions the Episode Explores:


What role does awareness play in how we experience reality?

How does fragmentation show up in our thinking and perception?

What changes when we stop reacting and start observing?

Can clarity emerge without forcing answers?

How do we navigate complexity without becoming overwhelmed?


What if the answers we’re searching for aren’t found by thinking harder… but by seeing more clearly?


In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Will Steel for a deeply reflective conversation on awareness, perception, and the subtle ways fragmentation shapes our experience of life.


Rather than offering quick solutions, Will invites us into something more fundamental—an exploration of how we observe, interpret, and respond to the world around us. As we begin to notice the patterns in our thinking and reactions, a different kind of clarity starts to emerge.


This isn’t about fixing problems.

It’s about seeing them differently.


And in that shift, something opens.


If you’ve been navigating uncertainty, questioning old assumptions, or sensing that there’s more beneath the surface of everyday experience, this conversation offers a grounded and thought-provoking space to explore that.

Coherence: The Missing Piece in Every Team with Quinn Stainfield-Bruce22 Mar 202601:16:20

Ep 232 One World in a New World with Quinn Stainfield-Bruce


Most leadership problems aren’t strategy problems…

They’re coherence problems.


In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Quinn Stainfield Bruce, visionary and co-founder of Humanness, to explore why alignment—not effort—is the missing piece in leadership, teams, and personal growth.


As complexity rises, many try to solve challenges by pushing harder, doing more, or refining strategy. But Quinn reveals a deeper truth: when vision, values, communication, and action fall out of sync, performance suffers—no matter how capable the people involved are.


In this conversation, you’ll discover:


Why most breakdowns are rooted in misalignment, not lack of skill


How coherence creates clarity in individuals and teams


Why trust isn’t built—it emerges under the right conditions


How to move from control and effort → awareness and alignment


This isn’t about quick fixes.

It’s about seeing what’s really happening beneath the surface—and shifting from there.


If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or someone navigating complexity in today’s world, this episode offers a powerful reframe that can change how you approach everything.

Why This New World Starts Inside You - with Leon Kammer25 Jan 202601:16:07

Ep 224 One World in a New World with Leon Kammer


What happens when leadership, spirituality, and lived experience converge into a single inquiry? In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with transformative coach and Kabbalah student Leon Kammer for a wide-ranging conversation on consciousness, vulnerability, fear, and the deeper forces shaping our inner and outer worlds. From corporate leadership to ancient wisdom traditions, this dialogue explores what it means to live—and lead—from the heart in a rapidly changing civilization.


There is a growing hunger in the world today—not for answers, but for better questions.


In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Leon Kammer, a transformative coach, former entrepreneur, and devoted student of the ancient wisdom of Kabbalah. Leon shares his extraordinary life journey—from growing up as an immigrant across multiple countries, to success in fashion, media, and business, to a profound spiritual awakening that reshaped how he understands leadership, identity, and the human soul.

How fear quietly drives corporate culture and personal identity


The difference between reacting and responding with awareness


Why spirituality is becoming essential—not optional—in modern life


How ancient wisdom meets contemporary leadership and AI-era challenges

What If Humanity Could Awaken? with Jaclyn Orent04 Jan 202601:10:53

Ep 222 One World in a New World with Jaclyn Orent


What happens when culture is no longer driven by force or ideology, but by frequency, listening, and coherence?


In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits with Jaclyn Orent for a deeply attuned conversation about inner listening, resonance, surrender, and the subtle mechanics of cultural change.


This is not a discussion about fixing the world.

It’s an inquiry into how worlds actually change—from the inside out.


If you sense that something new is emerging beneath the noise, this conversation invites you to slow down, tune in, and explore what’s already taking shape.

What does it mean to live—and work—in flow?

Neuroplasticity, Resilience, and the Power of Possibility with Darren Jewell14 Dec 202501:21:29

Ep 220 One World in a New World with Darren Jewell


❓ What if everything you were told about your limitations… was wrong?


In this extraordinary episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Darren Jewell, whose life began with a devastating fall at 15 months old—a traumatic brain injury that left doctors certain he would never live a normal life. They predicted he would be unable to learn, unable to work, and unable to thrive. Darren proved them wrong in every possible way.


From surviving childhood trauma to retraining his body, overcoming bullying, mastering multiple careers, completing more than 50 online courses in 16 months, and ultimately shocking neurosurgeons with MRI results showing that a previously non-functioning third of his brain had become active again—Darren’s story is a living testament to human potential, neuroplasticity, and the power of belief.


This episode dives deeply into:

✨ Neuroplasticity & self-healing

✨ The inner conversations that shape resilience

✨ Spiritual and intuitive awareness

✨ The courage to defy prognoses and expectations

✨ How mindset, effort, and curiosity can rewire destiny


Darren’s journey is a beacon of hope for anyone facing obstacles, uncertainty, or the feeling of “not enough.”


If you’ve ever wondered what’s truly possible when the human spirit refuses to quit—this episode will change how you see yourself and what you’re capable of.

Exploring ETs, Angels, and Consciousness with John Milor30 Nov 202501:18:47

Ep 219 One World in a New World with John Milor


❓ Episode Questions


Are biblical “angels” and “demons” actually multidimensional beings or extraterrestrials?


Is humanity preparing for open contact — and are we ready for it?


How do personal spiritual encounters shape our understanding of God and reality?


What is the real meaning behind the “new world order” and Revelation symbolism?


Are we evolving toward unity consciousness despite global fear and division?


In this apocalyptic (uncovering) conversation, Zen Benefiel sits down with author and Christian Ufology pioneer John Milor for one of the most expansive, provocative, and consciousness-stretching episodes yet.


From childhood encounters with entities, to near-death-like experiences, to glowing orbs in the Panamanian jungle, John brings decades of inquiry into the connection between UFOs, angels, biblical prophecy, and higher consciousness.


But this isn’t just a conversation about extraterrestrials… it’s about the evolution of humanity, the nature of God, free will, spiritual discernment, vibrational reality, and what it means to awaken in a universe far more interconnected — and conscious — than we’ve been taught.


If you’ve ever wondered about angels, demons, ETs, prophecy, the Trinity, the “new world order,” or the deeper structure of reality… this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.
