From the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast, we are so excited to introduce our new once-a-month series called How God Built This. William Vanderbloemen, our founder & CEO, talks Landon and Kat Eckles. Landon’s career required him to travel frequently and be away from Kat and their children. Landon rededicated his life to Christ and God took them on the journey of opening Clean Juice. Kat and Landon decided to put their destiny in their own hands by starting a new business. Kat’s passion for healthy living led her to present the idea of starting a certified organic Juice Bar.
William, Landon, and Kat discuss how God lead Landon out of his career as a managing partner role at a global investment management firm, how they moved their young family to Charlotte, and how they were able to launch their flagship Clean Juice store.

Clean Juice started in 2014 as the brainchild of Kat & Landon Eckles. Landon, after spending years traveling internationally, was ready for a career change and more time at home with his growing family. Kat had spent the better part of a decade making smoothies and juices at home and shot off the idea of opening a juice bar in the Charlotte area.
Landon and Kat quickly jumped into the idea with 100% motivation and heart. They moved to Lake Norman and opened their first location, Birkdale Village, on their 8th wedding anniversary.
