We recently had the chance to connect with Dr Sinclair Grey III and have shared our conversation below.
Sinclair, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90 minutes of my day? That’s my power zone. I start by talking with God – just me and Him, laying out my heart, asking for guidance, and setting the tone for the day. While I’m sipping my coffee, I’m writing my daily inspirational message – little sparks meant to encourage people and sometimes even challenge myself. Jazz usually plays in the background because it wakes up my mind and keeps my creativity flowing.
Then I go over my goals, reminding myself what I’m building and why it matters. It’s part reflection, part strategy, and all focus. By the time those 90 minutes are up, I’m not just awake; I’m aligned, inspired, and ready to tackle the day with purpose. It’s my mix of prayer, thought, and rhythm that makes sure I step into the world centered and unstoppable.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Dr. Sinclair Grey III, author of seven books, speaker, and business trainer. I’m passionate about helping people break free from fear, doubt, and everything that holds them back so they can step boldly into their purpose. My work isn’t just about inspiration; it’s about transformation, guiding individuals and organizations to live with clarity, courage, and unstoppable momentum.
Right now, I’m especially excited about my newest book, Fear Doesn’t Get A Vote: How to Overcome Doubt, Jealousy, and Everything That Holds You Back. This book is a blueprint for anyone ready to stop letting fear dictate their life and start living with intentionality, faith, and power. Everything I do (writing, speaking, training) is designed to equip people to rise, reclaim their power, and create the life they’ve always been called to live.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who taught you the most about work?
The person who taught me the most about work is my mother. She was the embodiment of discipline and dedication – waking up early every day, doing whatever needed to be done to keep our family in order, and never complaining about it. Watching her taught me that work isn’t about recognition or applause; it’s about responsibility, consistency, and showing up even when it’s hard.
Her example shaped me into someone who doesn’t shy away from effort, who plans, executes, and follows through no matter the challenge. Everything I do – whether writing, speaking, or training is rooted in the lessons she modeled: hard work, perseverance, and doing what must be done to achieve your purpose.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say one kind thing to my younger self, it would be this: don’t play it safe. Life isn’t meant to be a checklist: go to school, get a job, and retire at 65. Sometimes, you have to take great risks in order to receive great rewards. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, to pursue what feels risky, or to follow a path that others might not understand.
The truth is, the biggest breakthroughs in life rarely come from playing it safe. They come from faith, courage, and a willingness to trust God with the unknown. I would tell my younger self to embrace that, take bold steps, and believe that the risk you take today could shape the destiny you’ve always dreamed of.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would say a few things really matter to me. First, making a difference – I’m outspoken when it comes to standing for what’s right and helping people reach their potential. They’d also say I’m a giver, someone who genuinely wants to uplift, encourage, and invest in others whenever I can. Inspiration and motivation are central to who I am; I love seeing people rise and walk into their purpose.
At the same time, they’d say I have a quiet side – I’m thoughtful, I notice what’s going on around me, and I process things before I speak or act. It’s not about being shy; it’s about paying attention and making sure my actions and words carry meaning.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
When I’m gone, I hope people tell a story of someone who lived fully, boldly, and without fear. I want them to say I inspired them to rise above doubt, jealousy, and anything that held them back. I hope they remember me as someone who spoke truth, encouraged growth, and poured into others without keeping score – a giver, a motivator, and someone who genuinely cared about seeing people succeed.
I also hope they remember the balance – someone who could be outspoken and passionate when it mattered, but also thoughtful and intentional, someone who valued depth over noise. Ultimately, I want the story to be about impact: a life that challenged others to step into their purpose, to live boldly, and to leave the world a little better than I found it.
