Embark
What do you do when the national dialogue sucks? You start listening. And figure out better ways to communicate.I hear a lot of ‘I don’t get them.’ They’re stupid/crazy/too fragile/woke. You get the drift. We don’t seem to get each other. Self-involvement, lack of information or experience, blind adherence to a belief prevents us from seeing things from a different viewpoint. And there are many points of view, many sides to a story.If we don’t listen and don’t engage, we can't really know what another person thinks? And as good as we are, we're not clairvoyant. So get curious. Start with some questions. Let’s listen to understand, if not agree.This season’s Embark goes where few conversations go – to the other side. Or to many sides. Hop on for a little more conversation and a lot more ‘getting’ each other. All aboard? Let’s go.With Liz Solar, Voice Actor/ Writer/Communications Coach

Danny Breegi on Survival of the Smallest
•
Season 2
•
Episode 38
It's hard to find a more enthusiastic, kindhearted and thoughtful person than my guest, Danny Breegi. Intelligent, bold and full of life, Danny brings positivity wherever he goes. Proud of his Boston-based upbringing, he shares the immigrant story, as his family left war-torn Iraq in the 1990's. In fact, Danny was born during the Gulf War on a night he nearly did not survive.
He arrived in this world -- two weeks premature and suffering from hypothermia -- on a cold February night as bombs exploded in Bagdad.
While a dedicated doctor tended to his mother, Danny's father constructed a primitive incubator for his child. This is a story of family love and devotion, paying it forward, a sense of mission and a strong faith in the eternal and humankind. I hope you will be as inspired as I am, and enjoy our conversation on this episode of Embark.
In 2013, Danny Breegi and his father Wisam founded Breegi Scientific Inc., a socially-conscious innovator engineering safe, affordable, easy-to-use biocontainment solutions. He is the Director of Global Health.
Breegi holds a Master degree at Boston University's School of Public Health with a concentration in global health and medical products. He brings a passion for developing groundbreaking strategies and methods to solve the most prevalent issues in global health as an active participant in community health initiatives locally and internationally. Danny's work in Breegi Scientific reflects these goals by creating comprehensive solutions for today's most at-risk local and international communities by finding the common flaws of health care throughout the global health landscape.

Their Incubator is the first multi-functional disposable low- cost Neonatal Intensive Care Incubator. It is a practical user-friendly, efficient, low maintenance, inexpensive, incubator designed to significantly reduce neonatal mortality and morbidity. The device is less than 1% cost, size and weight of the regular hospital incubator. It provides any community with a NICU capability for a healthy start.
