In this episode, Mousa sits down with Mick Breet, Director of Health, Safety, and Wellbeing for Europe at Danone, to discuss his 17-year experience in the field and his passion for the human element of safety.
Listen as Mick shares the importance of mindfulness in high-stress environments and how it can empower frontline workers to stay present, focused, and, most importantly, safe. He emphasizes the value of understanding safety from a worker’s perspective by listening to their needs on the job and how well-designed, relevant safety programs—like his Stop Think Act campaign—help bridge the gap between corporate policies and real-world safety needs. Get Mick’s firsthand insights into the shared truths of safety leadership across every industry he has worked in and the lessons he’s learned along the way—including a Navy SEALs’ mindfulness technique and how gamification can boost safety engagement.
From an aspiring police officer to Director of Health, Safety and Wellbeing for Europe at Danone, learn more about how Mick has forged a career in HSE and created safer working environments for thousands of frontline workers.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
