Episode 22 - Building a for-profit with a soul...
On this episode of the Podcast, I speak with Danny Breegi, Director of Global Health for a medical device company, Breegi Scientific. Breegi Scientific is a company that develops lifesaving single use infant incubators as well as protective enclosures for patients with conditions like COVID 19.
Danny speaks about how his own birth influenced the founding of Breegi Scientific. We get into the details of why they chose to go the for profit route. He says that Breegi is a for profit with a soul and that you don't necessarily need to be a nonprofit to work in underserved communities. We get deep on how it is so important to find people to help and who will help you in return. Giving and receiving is so huge.
During this episode, we talk about…
