Ep 261 One World in a New World with Sarasha Elion

What if the strongest leadership advantage is not control, strategy, or technology, but the ability to make people feel seen, valued, safe, and capable?In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Mark Crowley, leadership expert, keynote speaker, consultant, host of the Lead from the Heart podcast, and author of Lead from the Heart and The Power of Employee Wellbeing.This conversation begins far beneath management technique. Mark shares how a painful childhood shaped the way he later led people, not by repeating what he had experienced, but by giving others what he had needed himself: encouragement, care, belief, safety, and room to grow. Only years later did he recognize that this instinctive approach had produced cohesive, high-performing teams and a radically different model of leadership.From there, the conversation explores the connection between personal healing and professional leadership. What happens when unresolved pain follows us into the workplace? What becomes possible when we face it, reinterpret it, and choose a different way of relating to people?Mark and Zen examine why fear-based management, micromanagement, competition, and treating employees as expendable resources can undermine the very performance organizations seek. They explore employee wellbeing, belonging at work, collaboration, emotional intelligence, conscious leadership, and the idea that care and accountability are not opposites.The discussion also turns toward AI and the future of work. As organizations invest heavily in artificial intelligence, Mark and Zen ask a deeper question: will technology be used primarily to reduce people, or can it help create healthier, more coherent organizations that develop human potential?Along the way, they challenge assumptions about servant leadership, workplace culture, diversity, teamwork, and what it really means to create a flourishing organization.Watch through to the end for a candid exchange about language, meaning, curiosity, and why asking “What do you mean by that?” may be one of the simplest ways to reduce division.One World in a New World explores the bridge between our inner experience and the outer systems we create, inviting conversations about consciousness, leadership, transformation, coherence, human potential, and a more collaborative future.If this conversation opens a new question for you, subscribe, share it with someone who leads others, and add your perspective in the comments.Connect with Mark: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markccrowley/Mark's books: https://amzn.to/3Vg4kAGMark's website: https://markccrowley.com/__________Coherence Engine - https://AIUniversalEngine.comA different view of reality: https://youtu.be/uhhWJhwEtX8🎁 Support: https://PlanetaryCitizens.net/donate 🎁Connect with Zen: https://linkedin.com/in/zenbenefielZen'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 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
