In this episode, I sit down with Austin Sauer, owner of a growing real estate media company out of Kentucky.

Austin’s story is one a lot of photographers will relate to — starting out solo, doing everything himself, and figuring it out one shoot at a time.

He shares how he went from grinding through sixty shoots a year to building a streamlined, profitable business that’s now running with a full team in the field.

We talk about:

• How he scaled from $50k to nearly $350k in annual revenue
• What he learned from hiring (and losing) his first team members
• How automation and systems like PixlCRM helped him finally step out of survival mode
• Why slowing down to focus on brand and process can actually accelerate your growth

If you’ve ever felt stuck shooting every house yourself or wondering how to make your business more sustainable — this episode will give you the clarity and inspiration you need to take the next step.

🎧 Listen now and get ready to rethink what’s possible for your real estate media business.

In this inspiring episode of The Pixl Marketing Show, Pete sits down with Jordan — one of PixlCRM’s very first users — to unpack the incredible journey from being a one-man band to running a thriving real estate media business that now produces over 2,200 shoots a year.

Jordan shares how his business started during the chaos of 2020, how he built a team of five photographers and two admins, and the key turning points that gave him the freedom to travel the world while his business runs seamlessly back home.

You’ll discover how he used systems, automation, and the Pixl Marketing Method framework to create a scalable business that no longer depends on him being behind the camera. From hiring his first photographer to training a full team, implementing automations for onboarding and reviews, and managing everything through PixlCRM, Jordan’s story is a playbook for every growth-minded real estate media pro who dreams of freedom without sacrificing success.

If you’ve ever wondered how to scale your creative business, step out of day-to-day operations, and actually live the life you built your business for, this episode is a must-listen.

In this solo episode, Pete gets real about one of the biggest traps real estate media business owners fall into — chasing the next “magic bullet.”

After walking dozens of coaching students through the Pixl Marketing Method, Pete shares what actually moves the needle once your systems are in place. Spoiler: it’s not a new tactic. It’s mastering the fundamentals, refining what’s already working, and eliminating what’s not.

You’ll hear Pete break down:

• Why new tactics feel exciting but rarely scale your business
• How to use data to make smarter marketing decisions
• The concept of statistically irrelevant data (and why most of your early tests don’t count)
• The right way to amplify and expand your marketing systems
• What to focus on when you’re ready to grow from $10k to $50k months

If you’re ready to get off the marketing hamster wheel and start scaling intentionally, this one’s for you.
