Dr. Jim Rebesco is the CEO of Striveworks, an Austin, Texas defense contractor that truly straddles the line between cool startup culture and defense contractor. Find out the influence that both Luke Skywalker’s prosthetic hand and Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” speech have had on the company.

It can be exciting.”
