Chris Myers
Chris leads B:Side Capital and B:Side Fund, chairs Main & Machine, and teaches entrepreneurship at ASU. The Fourth Turning Leader is built from twenty years of operating decisions, not consulting frameworks.
This framework is not consulting. It is the practice I built for myself first. Two decades of operating decisions taught me that process fails at the exact moment you need it most: the frozen market, the standard someone is asking you to bend, the call that cannot wait for consensus. What holds in those moments is a code decided in advance.
I run mission-driven SBA lenders through a crisis era that is still arriving in real time, and I am building an AI agency while AI forces the identity questions the Signals section names. A leader running lenders, an agency, and a classroom needs one code across all of it, not three. This one is mine.
“Chris Myers understands both Main Street finance and the generational forces reshaping our communities.”

The framework comes out of two decades of making real calls under real pressure: running a lender, building companies, and teaching the next generation of founders.
