This is the first episode of our series of Cohort Spotlights, where we are talking to the incredible women who make up the 2025-26 cohort for the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship.
Kirbay Preuss is the 3rd-generation owner of Preuss Pets, one of the nation's largest full-line pet stores. She's a fierce advocate for animals, she's on the board for one of the most prestigious groups in her industry, and she's been featured by Stephen Colbert...twice.
Maddie talks to her about what it's like running a family business, what she's learned over the years, and what's coming next.
