We had the good fortune of connecting with Michelle Stress and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michelle, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
Integrity. There are times in life when you may not stand out, are not the wealthiest, the smartest, the fastest, the prettiest, and the list goes on…but you can always be the one who stands behind what you say, what you do, the promises you make, the loyalty you profess, and the purity of heart you offer. Sometimes all you may have to give is your word and you better make sure it is good.

What should our readers know about your business?
Pavlodoh was created and will always be pure on purpose. We stripped away the unnecessary preservatives, additives, and allergens to create a wonderfully simple, easy to bake, fun to make and special pet treat. Pavlodoh shares and shows love.

We meticulously evaluate every decision to ensure it is in alignment with our mission of environmental stewardship, prioritizing long-term sustainability over short-term gains. This steadfast commitment to best practices may diverge from conventional financial advice, but it underscores our dedication to creating and contributing to a lasting positive impact on our wild and wonderful natural world.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Hike on the Palmetto Trail, visit the ocean at sunrise or sundown, take a bottle of wine to the edge of the marsh at sunset, eat at Basil, go to the Terrace Theatre and ride a bike around the peninsula, stopping for a drink on King st.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Of course, my family. My husband, and my son for supporting my ideas, lending a helpful hand, singing my praises, helping me bridge the gaps, and completely ignoring all the messes I made in our kitchen! Also, mother nature. The love of nature and the passion to contribute towards the efforts of land and wildlife conservation is what has given Pavlodoh a reason to keep pushing towards success.
