Dr. Chris Stout – Plan for the End

BIO: Dr. Chris Stout is a licensed clinical psychologist and international humanitarian with a diverse background in various domains. He is the Founding Director of the top-ranked nonprofit Center for Global Initiatives. STORY: Two years after Chris started the Center for Global Initiatives, he met a couple who had a project for developmentally different children in orphanages in Ukraine. They wanted to collaborate with the center, and he said yes because the project looked good. Unfortunately, he realized that he couldn’t manage to take a week off every year to go to Ukraine. Chris had to back out of this project, which left him very emotional for not being able to help.
