Channel Junkies: YouTube For Real Estate Podcast is a real estate podcast built specifically for agents who are already using YouTube but want their channel to function as a consistent business asset rather than a time-consuming side project. Hosted by Jackson Wilkey and Jesse Dau, founders of Channel Junkies, the show focuses on transforming "Living In [City]" style channels into reliable relocation lead machines that generate pipeline activity whether the agent is filming or not. New episodes are released weekly.
Listeners receive tactical instruction on the mechanics that drive YouTube performance, including video hooks, title optimization, first-30-seconds audience retention, thumbnail strategy, upload cadence, and analytics interpretation. The show also covers the operational side of converting YouTube traffic into closed transactions: speed-to-lead processes, follow-up SOPs, show-rate improvements, and lead management systems. Episode topics draw from real case studies, hot-seat channel audits, and step-by-step playbooks. Recent episodes have addressed YouTube channel growth plateaus, NAR settlement commission objections, ChatGPT applications for real estate agents, brokerage selection, and shifts in the broader housing market.
Channel Junkies: YouTube For Real Estate Podcast is best suited for licensed real estate agents and teams who are actively building or scaling a YouTube presence and want a structured approach to social media marketing and lead generation. Agents looking to move beyond generic content advice and into measurable business growth strategies — including six-figure systems built around video — will find the show directly applicable to their practice. Jackson Wilkey and Jesse Dau draw on their own experience running a YouTube-based real estate business to provide context that is specific, repeatable, and grounded in current market conditions.
