At a Deliberate Solos meeting at the end of 2017 I heard Jim Shenwick recount how he'd built a niche content strategy to reach taxi medallion owners facing financial stress in the face of the industry disruption from apps like Uber, Lyft and Via. In this conversation, Jim describes how after reading an article in Crane's business he recognized an un-met client need and business development opportunity and began creating content to reach these potential clients. Deftly implementing a strategy of writing content of value for these clients, he's become a go to resource not only for underwater taxi medallion owners but also journalists and investors.
