About Alex

Alex Snider is a writer, facilitator and former government strategist who bridges the worlds of mission-driven leadership and mindfulness. After spending more than 15 years inside high-pressure federal environments, along with a life-altering bike accident, he reshaped his perspective on urgency and attention.

A meditation teacher and co-founder of Mindful Fed, Alex explores what modern busyness gives us (and what it quietly takes away) in his book Sometimes You Should Be Late (Practical Inspiration Publishing, July 7, 2026).

He holds degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.
