  • Awareness Before Answers: Navigating a Fragmented World with Will Steel
    Mar 29 2026

    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-Bruce
    Mar 22 2026

    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.

  • Bleeding Emotionally While Succeeding Professionally? That Has to Stop with Kevin Patrick
    Feb 22 2026

    Ep 228 One World in a New World with Kevin Patrick


    Explore the thoughtless fear with Zen Benefiel, guiding guests through personal journeys and perspectives. This journey of self discovery inspires listeners to seek knowledge and find wisdom in their lives, fostering personal growth and self improvement. Embrace harmony with self, with others, with Earth, for a complete self discovery journey. 🌍✨


    What if the greatest problem in business isn’t systems…

    but disengaged hearts?


    In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Kevin Patrick—Certified Dream Manager, director of professional services, and recovery advocate—for a powerful conversation about transformation from the inside out.


    Kevin shares his journey through addiction, identity loss, recovery, leadership, and rebuilding a life rooted in responsibility rather than blame. What emerges is a profound truth: humans are integrated beings. You cannot heal professionally while bleeding emotionally. You cannot build thriving organizations while ignoring the dreams of the people inside them.


    Together they explore:


    Addiction, ownership, and personal accountability


    The power of pause and mind management


    Fear vs. trust in leadership


    Why 70% of system implementations fail (hint: it’s human)


    The Dream Manager philosophy and workplace transformation


    Inner work as the foundation for outer success


    This is not a conversation about perfection.

    It’s about integration.


    If you’ve ever wondered how to bridge personal growth with professional impact, this episode is for you.

  • The Wisdom You Already Have Inside with Laurie Seymour
    Feb 15 2026

    Ep 227 One World in a New World with Laurie Seymour


    What happens when spirituality stops being something to attain… and becomes something to remember?


    In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Laurie Seymour—quantum connection mentor, founder of the Baka Institute, and author of Unconditional Remembrance—to explore unity consciousness, the field of unlimited potential, and the lived experience of unconditional love.


    From humanistic psychology and the human potential movement to quantum fields and energetic discernment, this conversation moves beyond belief systems into embodiment. Laurie shares how remembrance is not intellectual—it is cellular. Once experienced, it becomes indelible.


    Together they explore:


    Unity consciousness vs. dualistic perception


    The paradox of being “in the world but not of it”


    How change feels chaotic before coherence forms


    Discernment in energetic awareness


    Why you cannot think your way to truth


    The discipline of presence in times of transformation


    This is not about escaping the world.

    It’s about remembering who you are within it.


    If you’ve felt the frequency shifting, this conversation will resonate.
