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.

Ep 221 - One World in a New World with Steven Puri

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

In this thought-provoking episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Steven Puri—former studio executive at 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks, and now founder & CEO of Sukha, a company dedicated to helping people focus, finish faster, and feel healthier.

Steven shares his journey from leaving high school early to attend USC, navigating the fear-driven realities of the film industry, and eventually turning inward toward purpose, presence, and meaningful contribution.

Together, Zen and Steven explore flow states, consciousness, creativity, leadership, AI, media influence, scarcity vs. abundance, and what it means to create work that truly matters—especially as a parent, a leader, and a planetary citizen.

This is a grounded, honest conversation about navigating complexity without losing your humanity—and learning how to align your energy with what you’re here to contribute.

If you’ve ever wondered how inner awareness, focus, and flow translate into real-world impact, this episode will resonate deeply.

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.
