Description

In this Passion Struck episode, John R. Miles sits down with Cheryl McKissack Daniel, President and CEO of McKissack & McKissack—the nation’s oldest minority-owned design and construction firm—to explore what it takes to build a life and legacy that truly matter. From the story of her ancestor, Moses McKissack, who learned the art of brickmaking while enslaved, to her role in leading billion-dollar infrastructure projects today, Cheryl offers a blueprint for creating an impact that outlives us.Together, they discuss the five core values that guided her family through generations—perseverance, preparedness, persistence, purpose, and prayer—and how these principles can help all of us leave something meaningful behind. This conversation is a powerful reminder that legacy isn’t reserved for the privileged—it’s built choice by choice, one intentional decision at a time.Visit this link for the full show notesGo Deeper: The Ignited Life SubstackIf this episode stirred something in you, The Ignited Life is where the transformation continues.
