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.

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.
