Unknown Speaker  0:00  

Hey, this is Tripp Bodenheimer I’m the host of the shadows podcast. If you really want to learn how to level up your life, you should be listening to this time to shine today podcast with my great friend, Scott Ferguson. 

Unknown Speaker  0:12  

to shine today podcast varsity squad. This is Scott Ferguson. We’re episode 263 With my guy, Tripp Bowden Heimer, big Tar Heel fan. They’re in North Carolina. He’s serving our awesome sauce. United States military right now and he’s actually an instructor for instructors. So that people that are out there leveling up our military, he’s actually instructing them and they could not and I cannot emphasize enough cannot find someone better. Bodie has been through hell and back, which you will see in the show. Just basically breakout notebooks because the knowledge nuggets he’s dropping, I think I put five or six some in the show notes. That really just blew my mind. And actually I use a couple of them to level me up since our interview. So sit back, relax. Because here comes the host of the shadows podcast, my good friend, Tripp Bodenheimer, let’s level up. Time to shine today podcast mercy SWAT Scott Ferguson and I have been waiting a minute because of scheduling conflicts mostly on my part, to bring on my my boy, Bodie, truth Bowden Heimer. I was blessed, extremely blessed to be on his the shadows podcast, and I will put that in the show notes, Episode 46. But don’t go there yet. Because I want you to hear the stories, that trips gonna tell to help you really, really level up and just start crushing and Bodi. He’s originally from North Carolina, unfortunately lost his father from a heart attack 1993. He was 11 years old at the time. And a few years later, another big kick to the Goddess his sister was murdered. At the age of 14, his positive outlook, he struggled to have one, he fell into a depression which can’t blame him at all. He joined the Air Force in 2009. And now he’s an instructor of the instructors. And it’s funny, he kind of told me a story off air that he was only supposed to be there for a year where he’s at station right now. And I’m thinking underneath my breath and like those people love what you’re doing do they actually fudge the numbers, they keep you there longer so he’s gonna be where he’s at for another couple years. And I think the Air Force is lucky to have him you know, he’s learned to block out the negative influences and start building a strong inner balance and alignment. So again, he has the the shadows podcast, and I want you to check out after our interview so Buddy, please come on. Introduce yourself the time to shine today podcast varsity squad. But first, what’s your favorite color? And why?

Unknown Speaker  2:53  

A favorite colors? Easy. Carolina blue. Very specific. And why? Because I mean, it’s peaceful when you sit back on a beach looking at the sky looking at that, that blue water just puts you in a peaceful mindset. And also, favorite color of mine, my favorite college team North Carolina Tar Heels to

Unknown Speaker  3:08  

me to stop on some blue devils and Right, exactly, yeah, dark blue. It’s

Unknown Speaker  3:12  

gotta be a Carolina blue Pacific.

Unknown Speaker  3:14  

I’m Carol, if you’ve talked about that Carolina robbery. I’m all Carolina. Man. I love shoes. eskies a person. I’ve met him a couple times. But it’s like, I can’t stand actually like Coach

Unknown Speaker  3:26  

K. And that’s Yes, I know that. People account for saying that. But actually like him. He’s got a really good book that I’ve read. Oh, yeah,

Unknown Speaker  3:33  

absolutely. You know, and also, you know, I’m from Michigan, you know, so we have the University of Michigan, which I can’t stand I’m a Sparty you know, Michigan State guy. So it’s kind of the same thing with the Duke has is kind of like a it’s like an Ivy League school in a sense, you know, education wise and stuff in the South. Yeah, in the south. And it’s nice when they get stomped on. So I can’t stand seeing them being good in football, either. But anyways, enough about the slamming. I do let’s get to your origins, my man kind of dig into you had kind of a bleak past a path that not many people have walked. I mean, we kind of start there and how you leveled up to right now helping others, you know, get their voice across.

Unknown Speaker  4:15  

Yeah, no, I appreciate first of all, appreciate you having me on here that really fan of your show. So I appreciate this opportunity. Yeah, I was a, just as you mentioned, 11 years old, living in. We moved from North Carolina to South Carolina. We were living in Mount Pleasant. And my father was pretty successful. He was a lawyer and I had it I thought, you know, I was spoiled as a kid. I was like, this life is nice. And then blink of an eye. heard a loud crash downstairs ran down and my father had had a heart attack. And now that moment, right then everything in my life changed. And he was in the hospital until July 9 1993. And then he passed away and my life got turned upside down because we went from living in this really nice house right on the waterway to I’m learning how to pay bills with my mom inside of a little apartment. And it was it was really tough. I was having learned how to budget 11 years old and do bills and trying to be the man of the house. And then we moved back to North Carolina be closer to family and friends. And, you know, unfortunately, just as you mentioned, August 23 1998, my sister was murdered at 14, and I was 16. So for a 16 year old, that was a lot. So focusing on grades and stuff in high school was not my top priority, I was just trying to figure out me, while this was happening in my life. And then, you know, I was kind of it like a standstill, really, I was going to school just to go to school. But then, you know, got jobs was working, you know, physical therapy assistant was one. But then I just didn’t find my purpose. You know, you chase your passion, but passion can be dangerous, because you, you’re really following your heart. But I was like, What is my purpose in life, and it’s not always right in front of you. Sometimes you have to find it is hidden out there. And for me, I decided to raise my right hand and join the Air Force. My grandfather was in the army, my dad was in the Navy. And I was like, why don’t I continue this legacy, I’m joined the Air Force and kind of looked at it like a foreign out, and was gonna, you know, open some more doors for me, but I decided to join, best decision I ever made. And I had a mentor who told me Hey, I know you’re thinking about getting out. I know, you know, I was that guy looking to go one year and go pro. And he said, Don’t, don’t judge the military on just your first base, like get your feet wet. Give it some time. And then I got asked to go to Germany. And that was a life changer. Six years in Germany, got asked to be an airman leadership school instructor when I was there. And the rest is history has kind of brought me to where I’m at now, which is teaching the instructor course in Alabama.

Unknown Speaker  6:54  

Love it in. How long have you been in that boat?

Unknown Speaker  6:58  

I’ve been in 12 years right now going on? 13

Unknown Speaker  7:02  

Gotcha. Gotcha. So you’re basically you are kind of a career man. And I would I am a tell myself when I hit 10 That’s it. Yeah, I was gonna say lack of better term be stupid not to, with what you get afterwards. You know what I’m saying? So no, that’s awesome. People need people like you. So you mentioned something about purpose that you kind of aligned like, passion can be dangerous. You mentioned some about purpose. Do you think your Y is found a lot in your purpose?

Unknown Speaker  7:26  

Absolutely. Okay. I, I love the Simon Sinek start with why. Yeah, I love that, you know, oftentimes, we tell people like what we do or how we do it, but we never start off a conversation with that why and right. My why right now is, you know, I’m developing, you know, people to go out there and help mold other people and help grow other people and kind of what you said on my podcast, they’re going to plant that seed, but they’re not necessarily going to sit under the shade. And I love that and I think that’s exactly you know, my purpose right now is to help some people out there and be better educators enhance and learning environment for others and instill these concepts and I’m and it’s, it’s the best job I have hands down the best job in the military right now. You cannot argue with me on that.

Unknown Speaker  8:15  

No, that’s also mean you know, you brought up about the Simon Senate love. Right. But you know, military is so militant. For a sense, you know, you’re you have to be somewhere no questions asked me and I did my seven years so I get it. Um, you know, in, in Simon said, you can either Influence People by manipulation or inspiration, do you find yourself inspiring your squad? Is your bringing up through the instructor school, more than lack of better term manipulation? It’s not because there’s so much structure to it, you find yourself leaving the structure a little bit to inspire them?

Unknown Speaker  8:54  

Yeah, we’ve we’ve broken away from like that adaptive, like, be an instructor. And we are more Be yourself. You know, I tell students and like, you suck at playing the role of an instructor. You are fantastic at being Scott Ferguson, you’re fantastic at being yourself up there. So yeah, it’s definitely inspiring them. And I tell them from day one, I tell them my story, I tell them things that I’m going through in my personal life, and I’m like, Look, I’m not gonna wear a mask. When I come in here and put on a facade, I’m gonna be the same person every single day and have fun with this. And if you’re not having fun, then you need to check yourself and maybe behind the podium, because you’re doing a disservice to students. So the second to start phoning it in. They’re the ones who are suffering from it. So I encourage them, just be yourself. Have fun, and you know, we graduated our class yesterday. And some of the common feedback that I was getting was, uh, you inspire me just to be me. You inspire me just to you know, dig into these lessons and make it fun to wear. I’m looking forward to coming in because if I’m having fun, they’re going to have fun and they’re going to be

Unknown Speaker  9:55  

so do you find yourself the same Bodie in the being instructors? You are come serve, they run into you. 100%. Okay,

Unknown Speaker  10:03  

Burke 100% That relatability like your I can’t I actually feel me what I’m talking about in the middle of Oh, yeah, no, I actually go in one day and I bring a lesson plan with me. And I read it verbatim from the way it’s written. And my answers are robotic, like, Absolutely, yeah. Great, good job. And then I do it for like, 10 minutes, and they’re checking their pulse, and they’re falling asleep. And so they’re always kind of looking around, like, What in the world and then I stopped, and I’m like, I can’t do this anymore. I was playing the role of an instructor right there. How much fun was that? And I’m like, do you want me to go back to being bowtie again? Alright, let’s go back.

Unknown Speaker  10:38  

Let’s do this. Love it. Yeah. So then, when you’re bringing these instructors in, obviously, they’ve had to qualify to come? Yeah. What is there any secret sauce that you use while you’re instructing or even in one on one situation with them to help them level up, help them find that blind spot?

Unknown Speaker  10:57  

Ah, for that we’ve incorporated a lot of self reflection stuff into the actual curriculum, we do two lessons that I’ve been certified on, they’re actually sponsors of my podcast giant worldwide, we do a five voices, which helps you discover your leadership or it really helps you blind spot wise because it shows you how you come off to other people in a conversation. Yeah, like how you sound when you walk away. We do five gears which is like a how to be present, which I think us as a society we struggle with so much. Yeah, we teach you how to be present with those around you and how to handle your time management. We have a art to communication lesson which kind of goes into the allegory of the cave. We emotional intelligence. I think emotional intelligence is huge and noble Givens you know, the EQ gangster himself. He’s, he’s He mentioned something the other night, he was talking to the students, he said, we we drive our vehicles, and I kind of paraphrase this into like, my own way of doing it, too. We drive our car, we see the needs air, tie in your tires, light comes on the check engine lights are on. And we’re like, Yeah, I know, I got some stuff going on with me. But we’re afraid to look under our own hood. But we’re quick to tell people what’s wrong with their car. Yeah. But and I think that’s true. We get people to dig deep, we get them to be vulnerable. We get them to open up. And, you know, if you’re not giving everything you got in a classroom, you know, how’s the flight gonna relate to you they want someone they can relate to, as opposed to someone who’s superior to them? Absolutely. And I think that goes with any job if you find yourself saying call me boss, as opposed to call me, teammate. Right. You know, I just think that’s where we’re at right now. Right? I think that’s not the way to really connect with people absolutely have

Unknown Speaker  12:40  

to, you have to have that personal connection, allow them to be authentic, and to communicate. So what is there any good question then that you wish the instructors would ask you that they never do?

Unknown Speaker  12:58  

It’s kind of a simple one. Honestly. It’s kind of, you know, like, balancing personal life with being an instructor. It’s something that we kind of hint at. And we’re like, yes, it’s going to be a struggle, you’re going home for the first six months, and you’re like deployed in place, because you’re having to learn all these lessons. And then you’re having to put create, you have to build that lesson around your personality, as opposed to just regurgitating the info. So it’s a struggle with family. Sure. I noticed the first couple of classes I taught they weren’t really asking about that. But then they were struggling with it when they were going back to their schools. So definitely a personal professional balance. How do we manage it? Because it’s tough?

Unknown Speaker  13:37  

Oh, yeah, absolutely. There’s that harmony that’s got a, it’s got to take place between the the classroom or the field in home. So buddy, I’m seeing a lot of strength. So yours is being a great communicator, very authentic, approachable. To what extent you appreciate your strengths,

Unknown Speaker  13:57  

man. I got to get better at it. Like, I’ll be real, I got to get better at it. People tell me all the time, when I get feedback and stuff. They’re like, Oh my gosh, I couldn’t have imagined being in another class or I really want to be like you as an instructor. And I hear it and I take it for a grain of salt. I’m like, okay, that’s the Sure. You know, canned feedback they’re supposed to give me but when I look at like the from, like a macro level of everything I’ve been through Sure. I really, you know, can sit back at times and appreciate it and say, you know, wow, most people would have gone through all this and just kind of tapped out or used it as, and rightfully so use it as an excuse is like, you know, My life sucks. But there’s a quote that I read the other day and I’m your Huckleberry Val Kilmer book. Really good. universe’s rejection is the universe’s protection. You know things happen all the time for a reason. Put where you are for a reason. You may not necessarily see it at the moment, but you are where you are and to serve that purpose. And so when I really sit back, you know, I’m like everything happened in my life. I’ve, the way it should have I am who I am. We’re based off of our experiences. And honestly, I couldn’t imagine who I would be. I’m almost sorry to see who I would be. You know, if I hadn’t been through everything I had been.

Unknown Speaker  15:13  

I appreciate that. So what? Everybody has limitations? Can you maybe point one out to us? And how do you appreciate the limitations?

Unknown Speaker  15:25  

Limitations for me? I would say, I almost get in my head, sometimes. I stopped myself. You know, I find myself more times than not an opportunity arises. And I almost like doubt myself, like, you’re not smart enough to do this. I had reading comprehension growing up. And so when I have to get on a stage and read something in front of 300, people are fine, you know, having to read something verbatim on a screen, it kind of gets in my head. And it’s kind of limited me at times. Sure. But it’s something I’m starting to get better at more confident with. I’m practicing. I’ve been reading a lot, a lot more than I ever have. If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be knocking out about a book a month to come on. Yeah. I would have told you, you’re crazy. But it’s something I’ve definitely challenged myself. And I look for those limitations. I love your what are those and try to become limitless in them? And after? Well, we all were, you know what, until if I live if unfortunately, live till I’m 80 years old, I’m still going to have those limits that I’m going to be discovering why Absolutely.

Unknown Speaker  16:35  

So I’m discovering I’ve got 10 years on discover them every day. And I always have five books going at a time I do 10 pages a day. Look, you know? Yeah, I just can’t because sometimes I pass that 10 page, you’re like, oh, like, I’ll pick up you know, like, you know, everybody’s bloody you know, Nick Saban? You know, I got back on I got our boy Jason holes are shattered by suicide. You know, I got boy, Nate’s you know, million dollar body method, you know, and it’s like, I pick up a step from everywhere. And I also take notes within Google notes, and put it in there and I look back and I’m like, it’s just awesome, man. Glad to hear you’re a reader man. So you ever seen the movie Back to the Future? Oh, big

Unknown Speaker  17:19  

Back to the Future. All right, got the future stuff in this

Unknown Speaker  17:22  

rise? Yeah, let’s get in that glory with Marty. Let’s go back to the 22 year old Bodie. So it’s like 1718 years, let’s go back to 22 year old bone. Alright, what kind of knowledge nuggets you drop it on the 22 year old body, maybe help them level up last through and shorten this learning curve just a little bit.

Unknown Speaker  17:40  

Be patient for one patient. Good things aren’t instant. You have to you work for things and let things you know opportunity. You got to wait for opportunity to arise and when you see it, take advantage of it. But definitely be patient because I was very impatient. I want to be a millionaire 22 years instantly. Of course. I would also say listen to other people learn to be interested versus being interesting. Sure. Quit trying to sell everybody on your accolades and stuff and just sit back and listen to those around you the wise people that you surround yourself with. You’ll get further by doing so.

Unknown Speaker  18:16  

So funny. You say that because I’ll sit there. I enjoy kava, it’s a root drink and I like to sip on it. And I’ll go to these kava houses full of kids. A lot of a lot of young kids, I just hear them talking. I’m like, Dude, that was me. When I was I’m gonna have this I’m gonna have that I’m like, but then now it’s funny. I’d go there three days a week, and I’m holding court with these young guys and I’m like, Listen, man, slow it down. When you don’t know something and really don’t know something get you’re asking here. You know, ask for what is needed because I wish I would have had somebody tell me that. You know, instead I knew everything. Through the years. Yes, absolutely. God gave us a mouth. Two years for one mouth two years for unreal. I love it. Man. You know, you and I are just same sheet. So how do you want your dash? Remember that little line in between your incarnation date and your expiration date your life date and death date on your tombstone? How do you want that little dash remember, bro?

Unknown Speaker  19:15  

Everybody that came in contact with me was better. And like when my legacy is an instructor is overweight. It’s not gonna be what I did. It’s all about, you know, the people that send me photos of their tech promotion. They’re sure they’ve been stepped promoted. They’ve re enlisted because of something I’ve I was instrumental in. It’s all about others. And I think it’s just one word, I would put others because it’s not going to your legacy is I did an article for Lama leadership a while back and it was you know, I was going through some boxes out in the garage and I found some of my dad’s stuff and my dad left a lasting impression on me. He had conversations in 1993 with me that I still remember to this day, but all the accolades that you have hanging up on a wall, all the awards you get, though, that stuff goes in a box one day and it gets taped up and it gets put bowtie stuff or dad stuff. But your legacy is what you’ve instilled in other people and how they carry that on day after day after day. That’s the stuff that gets remembered. You know, I make a joke in the Air Force and like, nobody remembers who the the air communication 2017 airman of the first quarter was, right. And if you tell someone they’re gonna be like, Okay, great. But, yes, it’s all about how, you know, emotional memories how you make other people feel,

Unknown Speaker  20:37  

right. Yeah. And that’s, you know, I had a moment where, you know, I had, I told Jen about my nose surgery, right. And when I travel, and I’ll have speaking engagements, I’m blessed. I usually go there. I’m not a big drinker. So I’ll maybe have one break or nadir. So whatever the audience members that meet in the barrier, but I usually just disappear, right and back to my room. And, you know, it’s, it makes my lady feel better to know that I’m not out mingling, you know what I’m saying? She’s not insecure at all, but it’s like, I do think I try to do things right. But when the thing happened to my nose, I felt alone. But the people that I just posted on Facebook and said, Hey, man, I’m off the grid for a bit. You know, I’ll be back when I went back. And you know, God heals me whatnot. Dude, I had stuff mailed to my house, or mailed to my office, I had people stopping by that can be locally, I people drive down from Tampa, you know, up from Miami to drop off food and stuff. And that was like, man, and it all came from me being able to, you know, what you’re doing, you know, influencing people in the correct way. That’s what you know, you know, it’s like, not going to talk to these people, buddy, ever. You know what I’m saying? They might see something on social for me every once in a while or something. But I don’t ever talk to him that way. You know, and that’s how you’re absolutely when you’re in that Dory with Doc Brown when 515 years in the future where they don’t need no roads. You know, you’re gonna see you’re already seeing it now. That’s awesome. So but let me ask you this, man. What what do you think people misunderstand about you the most?

Unknown Speaker  22:10  

Oh, that’s easy. Because I’ve heard this throughout my career. That I tried too hard. Or you get the whole brown noser thing, especially when it gets competitive in the military. You’re you’re fighting for a promotion state. Right. Right. In a lot of people see that I could totally get it. Because if I’m standing on outside, like Ebenezer Scrooge, like looking in my eye or something, I’d be like, This guy’s trying too hard. He’s he’s doing this any other. But I genuinely care about people. And like, I really care. You know, leadership is good, but it’s not until someone understands you truly care about them. Um, that’s from being Smith. But that that’s what it is. I truly care about others. And I think a lot of times people, especially co workers can kind of misconstrue that as just trying too hard.

Unknown Speaker  23:00  

Right. Okay. You’re coming from a good place. Coming from a very good place. Yeah. What? What keeps you up at night?

Unknown Speaker  23:08  

What keeps me up at night? Hmm. That’s a really good question. Other than headaches? Yeah. No, I think what keeps me up at night is, you know, I used to worry about the unknown. I used to worry about what this tomorrow hold, I used to have anxiety. And I learned to kind of conquer that kind of beat my anxiety. It took a lot of soul searching short, kind of brought up earlier, a lot of that self reflection self assessment, looking under the hood, right? And honestly, I can say right now, nothing really keeps me up. It’s awesome. Because I felt like five years ago, I would have given you a laundry list, right? But I can’t encourage people enough, level up your life out there and do some focus on you. Figure out what how you tick, because I can guarantee you start going down that hole, you’re going to find some things but when when you discover you admit it, and you can start fixing those, you start getting some good sleep.

Unknown Speaker  24:13  

I do do in that, too. I I went back to something I was tactically taught in the military about breathing, you know, box breathing or towel. And it’s like, Dude, I started doing that. Again, like four years ago, I kind of bounced back and forth between some tactical breathing I learned in the military to, you know, a little bit of Wim Hof, add a little bit of him in there. Or, you know, Mark Devine and that just changed everything, man now, I’ll have my nights but generally, dude, I’m out. Like, I hit the bed and I’m out and my biggest challenge is getting into bed because I feel like I want to serve, serve, serve, and I’m like, do you get shut down in that because it comes to health, about getting the rest? Like do you find yourself because you lost your dad and you’re gonna be rolling up? I don’t know. They’re 1012 years on your dad’s age 13 years or whatnot. Actually about four. Okay, four hours of your dad’s okay? Like in squad if you’re looking at a not Oh, he’s a handsome dude, he’s pretty well put together. If you look at his social, he’s put a real put together. Do you find yourself taking care of yourself? Due to the fact your dad pass?

Unknown Speaker  25:19  

100% Okay. All right. My dad’s another

Unknown Speaker  25:23  

blessing that he left you, in a sense, and I’m not trying to make light of his passing, bro. Yeah, but now it’s something guys.

Unknown Speaker  25:30  

And he played football. You know, he went to North Carolina, Chapel Hill. athlete growing up, and but I noticed he didn’t take good care of himself as last couple years. He was a lawyer, a very stressful job. But now and I think it’s kind of subconscious. But whenever I hit Gosh, I don’t know 1819 A little YMCA membership went in there, start pumping some iron on Nautilus machines. Yeah, you know, here I am. Now I got a got a beautiful body by bowtie garage gym. Baby. I actually went for a run this morning before I came on here. And I’m definitely because now I have my daughters and my wife, right? You know, it’s not about me, it’s about them. And I don’t ever want to put my girls through that pain of, you know, just not taking care of myself. So that’s, that’s definitely the physical domain, something that I can definitely work on. And it just takes a little bit of effort. And I have those days where I’m like, I do not feel like it today. But you push through and you get it done. And you feel better about yourself. And yeah, hopefully I can do this around a little bit longer for them sit.

Unknown Speaker  26:38  

So let’s take out computers, tablets, phones, let’s take all anything electronic. A lot of this equation this question quickly. What are three things that Bodie can’t live without?

Unknown Speaker  26:50  

Things? I can’t live without? Sports? Because even if I didn’t have all those on my newspaper, so my sports, that’s my form of entertainment, family, because I mean, just that that is your family. Except family. Yeah, I mean, the joy they can bring. And the other one honestly, this is kind of a corny answer. I need a dog. Alright, I need a dog. They are the most loyal Pete things in the world. You know, you they understand, I just got done explaining this to my other day. Humans have life all wrong. They go through life 80 years, and they’re miserable. They don’t understand. They’re always soul searching. Dogs only get a short shelf life with us like 15 years because they understand life. In 15 years. They’re loyal. They’re faithful. They’re not they can be a little moody. forgive you. They just everything that you want in a human dog’s gift to you. So in the therapeutic it’s proven their therapeutic to

Unknown Speaker  27:53  

pet the dog said, can we raise a lot of stuff? That’s real crazy, dude, I mean, I literally have my people land on my feet, bro. I’m doing this and it’s

Unknown Speaker  28:01  

minor running around here. I love it. I love it. Be quiet. I’m recording.

Unknown Speaker  28:06  

Hey, time to shine today pockets versus squad we are back and I got my boy Tripp Bowden Heimer by the friends come. Bodie. And, buddy, we have our lovely enough lightning round. It’s 678 questions. You and I could easily talk an hour and each one of them. You got five seconds with zero and zero explanations. You ready to rock?

Unknown Speaker  28:28  

Let’s do it. I put people through this on mine. Let’s see how this guy do it.
