My Story and What I Do

Aligned & Curated is a platform dedicated to exploring the pursuit of excellence. I’m Troy Burnett—a retired United States Navy Chief, entrepreneur, coach, father, explorer, and lifelong student. My journey has included doctoral-level education in Traditional Chinese Medicine, practicing as an acupuncturist and herbalist, traveling extensively, building businesses, investing in real estate, and developing a deep appreciation for history, craftsmanship, and intentional living. Throughout every chapter of my life, one question has remained constant: What does excellence look like, and how can we pursue it with integrity? Aligned & Curated was created to answer that question through thoughtful conversations with people who have dedicated themselves to mastering their craft. From entrepreneurs and educators to artists, historians, military leaders, physicians, and skilled tradespeople, each guest offers a unique perspective on discipline, purpose, and lifelong growth. I believe excellence is not an accident; it is the result of intentional choices, continual learning, humble service, and faithful stewardship of our time, relationships, resources, and talents. Whether we’re discussing leadership, business, health, travel, history, or personal development, our mission is simple: to inspire people to live lives aligned with their highest values and thoughtfully curated to leave a lasting legacy. Welcome to Aligned & Curated.

I can help you create positive and permanent changes in your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

What is professional life coaching?
Professional life coaching is the process of making a positive change in your life with the help and guidance of an experienced individual such as myself. To start, we will focus on the aspects of your life in which you need guidance. Along the way we help you define your goals and give you a strategy for obtaining them.

Having a life coach can help you overcome obstacles, make difficult decisions, improve your outlook on life, relieve stress and achieve your goals.

Does it really work?
Yes, coaching does work; but like everything, it depends on how much effort you put in. Coaching is a very strong tool for an individual who genuinely wants change but the client has to want this guidance, and be willing to change, in order for it to work. 

Is it worth the investment?
Yes, coaching is worth the investment. Most individuals will see the benefits of a life coach almost immediately. This is especially true when you set clear goals and expectations with your coach from the beginning, so you can immediately start working towards achieving those goals.
