Business Success: GUT CHECK by Tarek Saab

Posted by T. Saab Media, Inc. in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Oct 25, 2007

Former reality TV star Tarek Saab from NBC's The Apprentice 5, offered advice for young business professionals as the keynote speaker for IUGO, a networking group recently created in Nashua, NH. It was the first in a lecture series sponsored by the Greater New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce. The event was covered by The New Hampshire Business Review in an article entitled Young Professionals Group Makes a Splash in Nashua.

“I was expecting it to be about ‘The Apprentice,’ but he really went above and beyond,” said Nashua Alderman Mark Cookson, a member of the IUGO steering committee.

Saab is the President of T. Saab Media, and he recently authored a book entitled Gut Check: Confronting Love, Work & Manhood in Your Twenties, through Spence Publishing.

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?
