Change the Way You See the World with Some Fur Coated Wisdom with, Gila Kurtz

Tags :

Gila is a successful serial entrepreneur who found her deepest passion in working with dogs and their people. She co-founded and co-owns Dog is Good, an award-winning lifestyle brand for dog lovers. Gila has turned her love for dogs into a 7 figure a year business by growing revenues through wholesale to retailers, online e-commerce, and licensing to other manufacturers. She is the author of Fur Covered Wisdom…A Dog Can Change the Way You See the World.

Show  Notes:

To break the ice, I asked Gila “If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?”

Her response, “That’s a great question. I’m going to have to say Action Film because I’m always on the go and am an active person”. Sounds a bit like me, I must say.

We went on to talking about the Dog business, ‘Life Is Good’ and the inspiration behind it.
Some questions I asked Gila throughout the interview are:

  • What is ‘Dog is Good’?
  • When did the business begin?
  • What inspired you to start your dog business?
  • What has the journey been like since you started?
  • What are some of the questions that must be answered when you are thinking of collaborating with another entrepreneur?
  • What are some of the lessons that a dog can actually teach us?
  • How did you accomplish being in the top 25 women in the pet industry?
  • What advice can you give to those wanting to become entrepreneurs?

Main Take-Aways:


  • When you are chasing a dream, a vision, you go at it with a level of energy that drive yourself every day, because you expect to get there.



  • When a student is ready to learn, the teacher will appear. They are so many lessons dogs provide us on a regular basis.



  • It is important to be able to compartmentalize your life to make the right decisions as it relates to business, personal and other areas of your life.
