Thaddeus Francis Setla (III) - Feed The Soul
Feed The Soul Company was created from a special place in my heart, deeply connected to my dad, Ted Setla. He passed away when I was 17, during my senior year of high school, but his impact still guides me every day.
​
Ted wasn’t just my dad: he was a passionate storyteller, entrepreneur, and a man who lived with purpose and love. Through his work with Setla Films and Wicked Root, he showed me how to live boldly and love deeply. That same spirit is at the heart of Feed The Soul Co.
​
If you want to see the kind of legacy that inspired this brand, check out his work at Setla Films or follow his socials. His story is full of purpose and creativity, and I’m proud to carry that forward in everything I do.
Ted's Influence on Feed The Soul Co.
When I first started recording podcast episodes, I used my dad’s old camera, a piece of his legacy that felt like the perfect place to begin. His gear wasn’t organized, but I pulled together what I needed: a lens, a camera, and batteries that still worked. That moment felt symbolic, like even in the mess, something meaningful could be built.
​
Using his equipment reminded me I’m capable of anything I set my mind, body, and soul to. My dad’s spirit lives in everything I do with Feed The Soul Co. in the way I create, connect, and share stories. Every time I record or pour into this mission, I feel him with me. When I feed my soul, I feel him too.
