What if the difference between being a 'best-kept secret' and becoming a go-to authority in your industry came down to just three things?
In this episode of Yes, And with Avish Parashar, I sit down with David Newman, marketing expert, speaker, and author of Do It! Marketing, Do It! Speaking, and Do It! Selling. David is the founder of Do It! Marketing, where he helps executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders build their market eminence—leveraging speaking, publishing, and podcasting to elevate their authority, attract more clients, and grow their influence.
We dive deep into why most professionals struggle with visibility, how to shift from 'how-to' content to 'how-to-think' content, and why polarization in your messaging is actually a good thing. If you've ever felt like you're doing great work but not getting the recognition or leads you deserve, this episode is a must-listen!
Key Takeaways:
✅ What market eminence is and why it's critical for building authority in your industry.
✅ The Obscurity Gap: The four levels from being a 'best-kept secret' to a 'market maverick'.
✅ Why thought leadership isn't about information—it's about shaping how people think.
✅ How to leverage speaking, publishing, and podcasting to become a micro-celebrity.
✅ Why most books, speeches, and podcasts fail to generate business—and how to fix it.
✅ How to handle negative feedback, polarizing opinions, and internet trolls (hint: GIFs are involved).
✅ The one small mindset shift that can change the trajectory of your business and career.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
