Discipline, Purpose, and Sales: Troy Pusateri’s Story


Listen Later

What does it take to go from an All-American athlete to a Navy SEAL, then transition into a successful sales career in the tech industry? In this episode of Noob School, I sit down with Troy Pusateri, whose journey is a masterclass in discipline, purpose, and perseverance.

Growing up around Baltimore, Troy excelled in swimming, becoming an All-American at Clemson University. But instead of taking the conventional route after graduation, he chose to serve his country, joining the Navy and eventually becoming a Navy SEAL. His time in the SEAL teams, including protection detail work in Afghanistan, shaped his mindset, resilience, and leadership skills—qualities that would later prove invaluable in his business career.

After leaving the military, Troy took an unconventional path into sales, starting as an Executive Assistant, then moving into business development at Pegasus before making the leap into the tech industry. Today, he’s a Regional Sales Manager at BLACKWOOD, having also worked with AWS as a Navy Account Manager.

In this conversation, we dive into:
✅ The power of discipline and how it translates to success in business
✅ Why having a clear purpose is key to staying motivated
✅ The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people
✅ Lessons from the SEALs that apply directly to sales and leadership
✅ The transition from military service to corporate success

Whether you're in sales, the military, or just looking for inspiration on building a successful career, Troy’s story is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
