James R. Snoddy is a former U.S. Army infantry officer, Foreign Service Officer, and strategic architect. As a rifle platoon leader, he led 480 combat missions in Iraq, negotiated agreements at the UN and with partners in the EU, Asia, Middle East, and Caribbean, and advised senior U.S. officials across federal agencies and the National Security Council. A Johns Hopkins-trained writer and founder of the seven-figure Jeep brand Jammock, he developed Discipline by Subtraction as a doctrine to reclaim time, clarity, and bandwidth-by design, not effort. He lives in New York with his wife and son, balancing all of this--career, company, and chaos--in the same 24-hour day everyone else gets.
