    Against the Odds: The Samurai Lawyer (Chad Flores) | Ep. 52

After starting in a big law firm, he carved his own path as a one-man appellate specialist—arguably a modern-day “samurai” of the courtroom.  In this episode, Chad shares how personal crucibles—from caring for his mother after a life-changing accident to navigating early career challenges—shaped his approach to law, life, and adventure. Hear the story of a scrappy Texan who turned hardship into craft, discipline, and a love for the extraordinary. Subscribe on YouTube: @TheWalkupPodcast Follow on Instagram: @thewalkuppodcast

    Sculpting Souls: Apprenticeship, Sacred Art, and the Lost Bottega (Dony Mac Manus & Christopher Alles) | Ep. 46

    In this episode, Sean is joined by sculptors Dony Mac Manus and Christopher Alles to explore a world most people never encounter up close: the ancient, demanding, deeply spiritual craft of classical sculpture.  Chris shares how a college drawing class, a study-abroad coincidence, and an unexpected invitation led him—at just nineteen—to Florence, where he apprenticed under Dony in the historic studio of Fra Angelico. Dony recounts the origins of his mission to revive the bottega model and form artists both technically and spiritually—a vision that eventually contributed to a sacred art school and significant commissions, including a bronze altarpiece now housed in Rome. Together, they reflect on mentorship, vocation, the Church’s role as patron, and the interior life that shapes the work of an artist.

Along the way, Sean and Iris reflect on forgiveness, the limits of self-reliance, and why stories of crisis—on screen and in life—hold such power. Together, they trace how humor, honesty, and unexpected grace can illuminate the fractures and the faith within everyday life.
