The Buddhism of Becoming Better Looking with Playgirl’s Benjamin “Duff Daddy”

From the depths of depression to the cover of Playgirl, Ben’s journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode of Breaking Normal, we explore how his time in overseas “paradise” left him isolated and struggling—until surrendering to the possibility of staying stuck cracked open his heart. What followed was a deep dive into Buddhist principles, self-development, and a “glow and grow with the flow” lifestyle that’s reshaping every corner of his life.

We go far beyond the surface—covering everything from the philosophy of becoming “better looking” to transforming insecurities into beauty symbols, à la Marilyn Monroe’s iconic mole. Ben opens up about the art and meaning of his Playgirl cover shoot, which has already been photographed and will be released in October, the raw Buddhism of being naked, and the deeper psychology behind how he now interacts with women.

We also dive into his adventures ahead—Burning Man, Unison Fest, and beyond—plus why he chooses psychedelics over drinking, the lessons he’s learned from past relationships, and how Buddhist philosophy shapes his modern-day lifestyle.

What starts as a conversation about looks and modeling quickly reveals itself as a deep, playful, and refreshingly real exploration of transformation—inside and out.
