07/27 TECHNOLOGY AND LIFESTYLE COACH CARLEY KNOBLOCH, BILL MOSBY, MOSBY WINERY & VINEYARD

TECHNOLOGY AND LIFESTYLE COACH CARLEY KNOBLOCH OFFERS TIPS TO TURN YOUR HOME INTO A SMART HOME 

There is no denying technology is making its way into the home from smart thermostats to smart dishwashers. This concept of the “Smart Home” is a reality, many homeowners have already started integrating technology into their homes…a new appliance here or there, new security system, automated lighting…but what happens when you need all of these fun new devices to work together?

Carley Knobloch is on a mission to help people improve their relationship with technology, one tap or swipe at a time.  She’s a digital lifestyle expert, helping people find tech that helps them save time, money and sanity, appearing as a regular contributor on the Today Show and CNN. She’s also a home automation expert and host for HGTV, where she helps audiences make sense of emerging home technology in an easy, approachable way.

Carley became a life coach in 2006, and her clients were stressed, disorganized, and wanted to simply live smarter. Downloading an app or learning a new piece of software was often the answer, so she focused her energy on helping even more people navigate the digital world through her website, CarleyK.com, and her Webby-nominated YouTube show, Digitwirl.

Carley has been featured in Real Simple, Allure, and Bloomberg Businessweek. She resides in Los Angeles with her husband, two kids, springer spaniel, and myriad smartphones.  Find her on Twitter at @carleyknobloch.


BILL MOSBY - MOSBY WINERY & VINEYARD 

Bill’s winemaking interests began during his early college wrestling days in Oregon almost 50 years ago. "I fermented anything I could get my hands on," says Mosby. "I was — and still am — intrigued by the whole process." When Bill talks about his early winemaking days, he does so with an air of excitement. "As much science as we know today — technology and all that — we have barely scratched the surface when it comes to understanding the alchemic nature of wine," he explains.

PhotoIf you've visited the winery, then you’ve tasted his award-winning wines, caught a glimpse or two of his vineyards, and are somewhat familiar with his eccentricities.

When asked to describe winemaker Bill Mosby’s character, wife Jeri answers with a smile: "Strangely enough, I would describe my husband much the same way I would characterize his wines. He’s about integrity, intelligence, strength, tenacity, passion and complexity. He’s rebellious — not afraid to dream, then make those dreams come true."
