The mission

Help promising brands navigate the jump into broader retail.

Our goal on the Road2Retail podcast is to help small, emerging, and challenger brands successfully navigate their journey from the garage or local farmers market into the broader world of ecommerce and traditional brick-and-mortar retail.

We share experience built over 30+ years in consumer packaged goods, covering commercial operations including sales, marketing, trade marketing, logistics, broker management, international expansion, contract manufacturing, and more.

On the show, we also interview retailers, brand founders and leaders, suppliers to the industry—including advertising agencies, package design firms, brokers, ecommerce specialists, and market research firms—and investors.

The aim is simple: help brands remove uncertainty from their business actions and increase their odds of success.
