Deborah Kendrick

Consulting on a variety of projects, launching a collection of spices, looking toward launching a line of cocktails (the company will be called Blind Truth), and serving as a volunteer for more than one organization – the sum of all these parts certainly afford Hoby Wedler plenty of room for bragging rights. But bragging is not in the Hoby Wedler quiver of arrows for success.

Steven Kelley

Wouldn't it be great if our smartphones were really just that, smart phones? So you could just have a conversation with the phone to add a contact, choose something to listen to on YouTube, or get a ride from Uber. The Louie Voice Control appfor the Android phone is taking this conversation to the next level, literally, by working with some of the most popular apps, like YouTube, What's App, Contacts, and Gmail.
