When Opposites Align

We’ve all witnessed partnerships that implode faster than a DIY haircut…Especially when the partners are polar opposites AND close friends. Buckle up for ‘When Opposites Align,’ the podcast that illustrates the power generated by constructive friction (and LOVE)! We’re your hosts, James Amato and Terry McKee, a duo with a 32-year friendship and a multi-location, 7-figure-grossing business partnership as co-owners of NUOVO Salons. We’ll show you how we came upon the discovery that the integration of these opposite perspectives can propel a project, a team, a company, and YES, the world!
