I gave myself my first raise this week. From $500 to $1,000. Not much - but it's progress. Been working on @HannaGolfCo for almost two years now. I went 18 months without paying myself anything. And have been at $500 a month since January. It's been humbling. At the same time, it has been so damn freeing. Hard to explain. Truly grateful to the 600+ people who have received putters from us. And giving us a shot. We are slowly climbing the ladder. And we will keep chopping wood. So damn excited for the future.

Last summer, I quit my job. My wife and I emptied our bank account. I went out and bought two CNC mills to start a putter company - @HannaGolfCo. I was planning on launching the company in February. It couldn't be that hard, right? Well, I had never operated a CNC mill before. I'd never used CAD or CAM before. It's been the hardest year of my professional career—hard as hell. I've thought about quitting and selling my machines multiple times. But I am a grinder and underdog. I can't quit. I had to see it through. So today, I am launching Hanna Golf. A boutique putter maker. Putters designed by me and milled by me. Built by an underdog for the underdog. Why putters? I've been looking for the putter I used in college every year since I graduated. I can never find it. So a couple of years ago, I sketched a design, had my brother-in-law design it in CAD, and had a friend mill it for me. I loved that project. I loved creating and building something. And we are only on this earth one time. Life is short. Let's give it a run. I am proud of how far I've come. For a guy that sat behind a desk his whole career to teaching myself how to operate a CNC mill has been rewarding. We have three designs right now; a fourth is prototyped. The putters are good. And they will continue to get better. Shout out to everyone who has followed my journey so far. It's crazy to me that people read my writing. I am humbled and grateful. The newsletter will continue, and we will add another chapter for Hanna Golf. Check out the putters below! hannagolf.com/

It's a rough day for my former @fireeye & @mandiant colleagues. Mr Mandia was right to release details. I applaud FE for releasing detection logic, but not the offensive tools themselves. It's tough to bat 1.000 for 16 straight years against the worst threat actors on the planet.
