#213 CEO and Co-Founder of Texas Precious Metals Tarek Saab
Â
In this episode of NFR Extra, we sit down with Tarek Saab, CEO and Co-Founder of Texas Precious Metals, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends business, finance, and purpose. From his early days as an electrical engineer—and even a stint on The Apprentice—to launching Texas Precious Metals in 2011, Tarek shares the journey behind building a leading online gold and silver company and large-scale depository.
He breaks down the company's mission to make precious metals more accessible and digital, while also offering valuable insight into investing—why he views gold and silver less as an investment and more as an "insurance policy," and how they can play a role in a well-balanced portfolio. Tarek also highlights unique initiatives like commemorative coins, including rodeo-inspired pieces that connect deeply with the western community.
Beyond business, this episode dives into life lessons—navigating highs and lows, redefining success, and why purpose, faith, and meaningful relationships matter more than fame or fortune. Tarek also shares how partnering with the NFR and embracing the western lifestyle has helped Texas Precious Metals find "their people."
This is a powerful, thought-provoking episode about wealth, identity, and building something that truly lasts.
