The Soul Proprietor Podcast

Curt Kempton and Melody Edwards have spent decades in business, and somewhere along the way they both started asking the questions that don’t have clean answers. Questions about purpose, integrity, faith, and what it actually costs to build something you’re proud of. One of them is rooted in faith. One isn’t. That difference doesn’t divide them. It’s what makes the conversation worth having.

Each week they dig into the ethical dilemmas, values clashes, and harder questions about who we become while we’re building. Guests join regularly, bringing more perspectives to conversations that were never meant to be tidy.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can build a successful business without losing yourself in the process, this show is for you.
Whether you’re building your own company or exploring life’s big questions, you are welcome here.

Meet Mel

Melody Edwards is a sparkly brained creative, and serial entrepreneur who has built, acquired, and sold businesses for more than 25 years; starting with a small import/export business, an errand service, multiple home service companies, and a coffee shop. Today she focuses on Home Service VA, a virtual assistant agency that provides training and creates living-wage jobs for virtual assistants in the Philippines.
Her story is shaped by contradictions: raised evangelical in one of the country’s most liberal regions, she spent part of her youth in a cult church, which left her with a lifelong crisis of faith. That questioning spirit still shapes the way she builds businesses and makes decisions.

After years of feeling isolated in an industry that often rewards shortcuts and profit over people, Melody and Curt launched The Soul Proprietor Podcast,  an honest, unpolished space to explore

Meet Curt

Curt is the founder of a values-first software company serving home service businesses across the country. A lifelong entrepreneur and recovering literalist, Curt brings both conviction and curiosity to the conversations on Soul Proprietor.

Raised and practicing as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism), Curt views faith and business as deeply intertwined—but often more nuanced than many around him see it. He believes every entrepreneur has a shared responsibility to uphold ethical standards while also celebrating those who go above and beyond.

At the heart of Curt’s work is a passion for helping others find meaning in their business journey. Whether exploring the challenges of leadership, the tension between profit and purpose, or the bigger questions of existence and legacy, he is committed to fostering honest dialogue that enriches both life and work.
