Short YouTube conversation (Kenny Keller with another speaker) describing how Kenny’s self-published book about helicopter checkrides became an Amazon bestseller and personally affected readers. He recounts his own struggles (including depression after his mother died of ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease) and a ground-school member’s email describing how the book helped during a 30-year divorce. Motivated by that feedback, Kenny announces a five-day Kindle free promotion beginning at midnight Pacific time and provides a link in the video.

Chapters
The power of a book is simply amazing. Five years ago I started making videos.
At home in my trailer, broke in.
Desperation trying to promote my helicopter company. In the last five years I've done hundreds of videos, started an online ground school, but about a year ago last fall put out a book that hit Amazon bestseller and it was mainly a book about checkrides.
But in the beginning I talked a.
Little bit about myself and the struggles.
I had along the way when I.
Was younger with depression after losing my mother from Lou Gehrig's disease and how.
I helped myself out with motivational tapes.
And went to counseling and turned my life around.
And I put that in the beginning of this book. And to get to the story, this morning I'm up drinking coffee like any other morning, trying to get myself motivated.
To keep going because I wonder sometimes, should I just give up and go get a job like everybody else instead of trying to be a crazy entrepreneur?
I get an email from a member, one of my ground school members who.
I just gave away a free copy of my book a couple nights ago, free PDF download.
He read the book, sends me an email and tells me how he's going through a 30 year divorce, been rock bottom and how my book helped him get motivated and get back to the helicopter rating and thanked me for sharing my experiences, my struggles and with this book. And it just dawned on me the power of a book is just simply and incredibly amazing.
I can't even believe it.
I inspire him through my story, then he inspires me by emailing me back to telling me how I inspired him. How freaking cool is that? I just absolutely love it. So what I'm going to do tonight at midnight I'm releasing my kindle version for 5 days free book promotion because I thought, you know what, people love the PDF download. So I'm giving away the Kindle version for free for five days starting tonight. So the link is here beside this video somewhere. Click the link starting midnight tonight.
I'm so excited I can't remember what date it is.
I'll put the date beside the video, go to that link tonight, midnight Pacific time, Pacific time and download my Kindle version.
I want to give it away even.
