In this powerful episode of Telos' Ultimate Potential, Tony and Craig sit down with UFC veteran Court McGee for an honest conversation about the experiences that shaped his life, his career, and his commitment to helping others. Court shares how childhood anxiety led him to martial arts, how wrestling and MMA became a driving force in his life, and how addiction eventually took him down a very different path, including a fatal heroin overdose that became a turning point in his journey. He opens up about sobriety, the 12-step program, fear, family, and the realization that being mentally and emotionally ready was just as important as being physically prepared. Court also talks about his unlikely path back to professional fighting, his experience on The Ultimate Fighter, and why sharing his story became more important than simply winning fights. Ultimately, this is a story about addiction, recovery, resilience, humility, family, and using personal struggles to help other people find hope.CONTACT COURTEmail: crushermcgee@gmail.comLink in our bio or listen on these other platformsYouTube: @officialtelos564 Apple Podcasts: https://shorturl.at/tDGSJSpotify: https://shorturl.at/GfKWp

What does it really mean to help an adopted child feel like they truly belong?

In this powerful episode of Ultimate Potential, we sit down with therapist and Telos Executive Director, Reggie Wilson, who brings nearly three decades of experience working with youth and families.

Together, we explore the unique challenges of transracial adoption, why the phrase "I don't see color" can unintentionally create distance, and how parents can foster deeper connection by embracing a child's identity, culture, and lived experience.

Reggie shares practical wisdom, moving stories, and hopeful guidance for adoptive families navigating attachment, belonging, and the lifelong journey of helping children feel fully seen, understood, and loved.
