PropMedia Podcast
PropMedia Podcast: Where Real Estate Media Professionals Build Better Businesses Hosted by Matty Fisher and Moses Nickerson, co-founders of Pixlmob and PropMedia.com, the PropMedia Podcast is the go-to show for real estate photographers, videographers, drone operators, and media professionals who are building businesses, not just taking pictures. Each week, Matty and Moses sit down with industry leaders who've scaled from solo shooter to successful media companies.

Whether you're shooting your first listing or managing a team of photographers, this is where you'll learn how to expand your services, work with luxury clients, leverage new technologies like AI and 3D tours, navigate the off-season, and build the systems that turn your photography side hustle into a thriving full-service media business. This is where ambition meets execution in the real estate media world. New episodes drop every Thursday.
