Regardless of his personal and professional endeavors, Benjamin has always placed the importance of faith and spirituality at the forefront of his life. His personal vocational calling to help people was evident through his early childhood years. While maintaining an exclusive spiritual counseling business for many years, Benjamin was constantly searching for the proper expression of his vocational calling to apply his unique spiritual passions and his media expertise.
His search to empower people with media and current affairs motivated him to negotiate a first-look television production deal with CBS Eye Too Productions with his former business partner Judge Leslie Crocker Snyder.
Benjamin received additional spiritual scholarly training and attended Princeton Theological Seminary. There, Benjamin became a chaplain at an in-patient addiction/mental health treatment facility where he led spirituality groups and conducted weekly worship services. He also taught meditation classes at the exclusive Onsen for All spa facility.
While at Princeton, Benjamin also studied with leading Ancient Jewish mystical scholars at Princeton University, led local meditation classes and workshops, and launched his Peabody-nominated radio show at the Princeton University radio station 103.3 WPRB (Princeton, NJ). His radio guests included Mary Zimmerman (Tony Award Winning Director), Professor Richard Gott (Princeton University Astrophysicist), Dr. Jim Tucker (UVA Medical School/Department of Perceptual Studies), Mako Fujimura (World Class Artist), and Ghost Inside My Child (Lifetime Movie Network Producers).
