Catholic speaker Tarek Saab, former contestant on Season 5 of the Apprentice, and President of T. Saab Media, spoke to a room full of twenty-somethings and business professionals at the Corpus Christi Chapter of Theology on Tap on Monday, February 4th, held at Cassidy's Irish Pub.

Saab spoke for nearly one hour about the importance of preparing for death as the ultimate end goal in life and in business. The popular Catholic speaker, who is represented by CMG Booking, offset a serious talk with moments of uproarious laughter, as he detailed his experiences in business and on The Apprentice. Afterwards, patrons swallowed up Saab's new book Gut Check: Confronting Love, Work, and Manhood In Your Twenties, and Saab spent nearly two hours signing copies, posing for pictures, and mingling with the crowd.

Tarek Saab's next speaking engagement will be on Fat Tuesday , February 5th, at St. Pius X Parish in Corpus Christi.

Book Description

You’re fired!

Only a few years into a career marked by dazzling early success, Tarek Saab’s life took a dramatic turn with his selection for Donald Trump’s reality show, The Apprentice. Viewers soon noticed something unusual about Tarek. Throughout the chaos and pressure—including several boardroom showdowns with Trump—Tarek displayed a forgotten kind of manhood. In a new book, he shares his hard-won insights into love, work, and manhood and their source in a faith that is ever old, ever new.

The biggest problem by far facing men in their twenties is the crisis of manhood. Offering a completely new take on the so-called “quarter-life crisis,” Tarek describes his reluctant confrontation with career, relationships, and spiritual disillusionment and reveals the surprising truths he learned about what it means to be a man.

A distinctly modern-day Confessions, Gut Check is the wry and candid self-examination of a man whose life, despite its extraordinary twists, is full of lessons for ordinary young men. Tarek’s captivating tale reveals a young man with many talents and temptations whose saving grace is a relentless pursuit of truth and the daring to be counter-cultural. Gritty, comic, utterly believable—Gut Check is not the usual Christian fairy tale.

Gut Check is a manual for manhood lived the hard way. It is a book for men who never read and for men who think they have read it all. If you think you know what you really want, are you ready for a gut check?
