Timothy Bush, owner of TLB Consulting, helps new and emerging suppliers get on the shelf at large retail chains. he has more than 20 years of experience on both sides of retail, and particular expertise in helping suppliers break into Costco.

"I started TLB Consulting with only one goal in mind; to help take the mystery and frustration out of connecting company's and their products with big retail," says Bush. "Our mission statement is: 'To connect products with people in an honest, forthright and ethical manner.'"

One of the ways he educates suppliers is through his regular podcast, On the Shelf, during which he and industry guests discuss the challenges and opportunities for suppliers looking to do business with large retail chains.
