Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Recently an author on Twitter/X had some thoughts about the true responsibility of writers. This week our hosts, authors Steve Diamond & Larry Correia sat down for a philosophical discussion about the duties and obligations of working as a professional author. (The original title of this episode was going to be 'Your Job is to Entertain, Not Lecture People About Your Personal Beliefs, Dummy' but we decided to go with a more concise version.)

After last week's episode about First Steps, several folks in the WriterDojo Facebook group had some questions about money for our hosts authors/accountants Steve Diamond and Larry Correia.

How best to keep your business and personal finances straight? And what IS Larry's equivalent to being hit by a bus? All this and more on this week's exciting episode!

Some topics are bigger than the Tweet Bashing format allows. This week, our hosts authors Steve Diamond & Larry Correia tackle one such topic as they unpack a recent tweet. What qualifications should be required when you are handed the keys to one of the most profitable and (formerly) popular IPs in history? What is your responsibility to the Customer? Is it more important to preach or entertain? And why would you want to make the majority of your target audience "uncomfortable"?
