At Kellogg Garden Products, the values of humility and integrity are deeply ingrained in the company culture. H. Clay “Hap” Kellogg, the third-generation president and CEO, upholds the core values introduced by his grandfather and father before him, even as the family-run business has grown over the years. Meanwhile, Co-Owner and Chairman of the Board, Kathy Kellogg Johnson, is equally passionate about sustainable business practices and the health of our planet and its people. She focuses on ensuring that Kellogg Garden Products' operations contribute to the future well-being of its employees, customers, and the environment. Together, Hap and Kathy lead the charge in maintaining a company culture committed to positively impacting the world.
Our very special guests this week are Hap Kellogg and Kathy Kellogg Johnson, Co-owners of Kellogg Garden Products. We’re delving into the history of the business, how it started and continued to grow and expand, and how it grew and expanded under Hap and Kathy’s stewardship. You'll hear how they use the business as a platform for ministry, and we explore their relationship with God and how it’s a big part of their Kellogg journey. We'll also discuss the importance of humility, generosity, and the one thing they do at the beginning of each business meeting to set the right tone for cooperation and productivity.
