Being mobile is all about movement.  It's going from one place to another, like from a suburb of Detroit to a mission site in Guatemala.  Or it can be going from one level to the next, like going from amateur to pro.  Or even, moving from a position of taking, to one of serving.  This has been my journey, and I'd love to help you with yours.  

My goal is to meet you where you are, equip you with the best tools and training available, and to inspire and guide you to where you want to go next. We are at the dawn of a mobile revolution, and the possibilities are endless.  

So tell me…Where do you want to go?

About Me

Damaris and Shawn Smith, Directors, Now Is the Time For Missions

Damaris and Shawn Smith, Directors, Now Is the Time For Missions

My name is Shawn Smith (a.k.a. The Mobile Pro) I'm the author of the ground-breaking e-book and step-by-step video training course, 5 Ways to Record Podcast Interviews with an iPhone.

I'm passionate about equipping, training, and inspiring entrepreneurs to create content, and manage their business from anywhere in the world. This is the purpose and goal of my work here.

Since 1994, I've flown over 800,000 miles as a performing songwriterkeynote speakermissionary, and Mobile Technology Expert at TheMobilePro.net. I’ve run several successful businesses from a backpack, with a MacBook and iPhone.

Since 2006, my wife and I have also hosted over 1,200 missionaries on our annual mission trip to Guatemala. We serve children and their families living in extreme poverty. The name of our mission is called, “Now Is the Time” - because there’s never a good time to go and serve.

Our mission work has driven my desire to create a location-independant business, and lifestyle, and to show others how to do the same.

We spend an average of 3 months/year in Guatemala prepping and leading our teams. We are all volunteers, including us, the organizers, and we all raise our own financial support for the privilege to love and serve our dear friends. It’s a ton of work, but really satisfying.

This is also where I discovered and mastered mobile podcasting - recording nightly podcast interviews with our mission team members to share what’s happening in the mission field for family members, and supporters back home.

It took me 4 yrs, and thousands of dollars worth of equipment until I finally cracked the code how to do. This led to creating my ground-breaking eBook, and video training course, 5 Ways to Record Podcast Interviews with an iPhone.

Since then, I’ve recorded over 100 pro-quality, multi-mic podcast interviews on my iPhone at dozens of events and conferences all over the world, and I'm quickly becoming the foremost authority on Mobile Podcasting.

My 25 yrs of experience as a professional recording artist, has given me a deep understanding of how to achieve pro-quality audio - both on a computer, and on a mobile device. From mics, to mic techniques, to interfaces, audio recording, editing, leveling, and publishing, I know what it takes to go pro. 

Because of my extensive background in pro-audio & video, and my degree in teaching, I have a unique ability to take very complex technical knowledge, like audio recording, and break it down into easy, bite-sized pieces so the veteran or newbie can not only understand, but quickly apply this knowledge to achieve pro-quality results.

I've spoken at lots of events on the topic of Mobile Podcasting, including at the largest podcasting conference in the world, Podcast Movement. My keynote talks are extremely informative, interactive, inspiring, entertaining, and jam-packed with practical action steps to start producing pro-quality content right away, from anywhere in the world.

(You can hear testimonies about my teaching, speaking, and training products here: TheMobilePro.net/testimonials).

When not on the road speaking or singing, or in Guatemala prepping and leading mission teams, I live with my lovely wife in South Florida, U.S.A.

So What exactly is a Mobilepreneur, or Mobile Pro?

As I define it, anyone who makes their living on the road, or who wants to take their business mobile, and operate as a pro from anywhere in the world:  Full-time, part-time, or during work trips, vacations or work-cations.  

 

Some Examples of a Mobile Pro

  • Entrepreneurs
  • Solopreneurs
  • Infopreneurs
  • Wantapreneurs
  • Passive Income Professionals
  • Bloggers
  • Podcasters
  • Keynote Speakers
  • Authors
  • Freelancers
  • Travel Professionals
  • Missionaries
  • Musicians
  • Comedians
  • Performing Artists
  • Photographers
  • 2D and 3D Artists
  • Painters
  • Crafters
  • Athletes
  • Ex patriots

…and anyone else who needs to take their business with them and operate it as a pro on extended vacations, work-cations, or speaking and book tours.

 

What a Mobile Pro is NOT

  • Someone who sells stuff out of their car
  • Someone who sells mobile phones or mobile technology
  • A mobile home salesman (unless they travel to do it)
  • Someone who sells get-rich-schemes on the internet
  • Business and marketing strategist for mobile development
  • Mobile Marketer (unless they travel)
  • Mobile App Developer (unless they travel)
  • Mobile App Entrepreneur (that's right, unless they travel)
  • A Food Truck (well…could be!)
