In this episode of the Sağlıklı Podcast, host Elif Elkin interviews Ergün Güler, founder of Sales Network and author of the book "Düştüğün Yerde Hazinen Saklıdır" (Treasure Hidden Where You Fall). The conversation explores the origin of the book’s title, its structure, and the stories of twelve women leaders whose experiences form the core narrative. Güler explains that the book is not a conventional personal‑development manual but a collection of real‑life stories organized around Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, divided into six stages from childhood to wisdom. Themes of success versus failure, gender‑specific challenges such as imposter syndrome, and the importance of visible role models (the "Visible Leadership Effect") are discussed. The target audience is primarily young women aged 17‑28 (about 3.8 million university‑age women in Turkey), though the content is also relevant for older professionals. Practical workbook sections and exercises accompany each story to prompt self‑reflection. Güler describes his broader work with Sales Network, the Women in Sales Network, and gender‑equality initiatives, highlighting statistics that only 17 % of CEOs are women and the need for more role models. The interview covers distribution plans, community building through the "Hazinenizi Keşfet" platform, mentorship, scholarships, and plans to expand the book’s reach through university visits, podcasts, and a video library of role‑model messages. Finally, Güler shares his personal mindset on failure—viewing it as a learning experiment rather than a defeat—and his routines for mental health, emphasizing honesty, solitude, and focusing on effort over outcomes. The episode ends with reflections on sustainability, the challenge of maintaining impact, and gratitude for the collaboration.
