Charles Bio: Charlie’s photography career began in the clubs of Boston in the late 1970s photographing local bands. Before long he was photographing major acts such as Crosby, Still, and Nash, Queen, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Jimmy Buffet, and more. In New York and Los Angeles, he continued to photograph bands, many who were performing on the same bill as he was with his own bands.
In 1999 while still at Microsoft, Charlie began his business, Charles Cotugno Photography, photographing families and seniors. He also founded the non-profit organization, Stories of Autism, which organized 250 photographers throughout the U.S. to create fine art portraits and collect the stories of people in their communities living with autism.
After leaving Microsoft in 2014, Charlie turned his efforts full time to his photography business, transitioning into commercial photography. In 2018, he was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease, causing fluid to gather in the inner and trigger bouts of severe vertigo. Unable to predict when these attacks would occur, he was forced to change his business model to one that didn’t include travel and large budgets. In 2022, he rebranded as a headshot photographer, opened a studio in the SoDo neighborhood of Seattle. In the time since, Charlie has become one of the most sought-after headshot photographers in the Seattle area and his business has never been better. Fortunately, his Meniere’s Disease has been in remission for the last twelve months.

Who is Amanda Hill?
I use my 23 years of experience as a lawyer to help doctors see what they don’t. Certain deals to avoid. Certain statutes to be aware of. I help them see their own value, find their own leverage, and I teach them how to negotiate for what they are truly worth.
I became especially passionate about helping doctors transition from one job to the next, so they don’t feel lost or confused as to when to put in their notice, how to let go of the past, tips in dealing with a toxic work environment, advice on finding their own strength, and guidance on contract negotiation.
I’ve spoken on large stages and small conference rooms, and I’ve been published on sites such as Medical Economics, MedScape, KevinMD, and more.
In the past few years, I have helped doctors:
- Negotiate from a position of power
- Prevent massive audits and compliance nightmares
- Prepare for employment issues that they know are coming
- Respond to patients and staff who make their lives miserable
When you’re ready to go from surviving to thriving as a doctor, let’s talk.

Who Is Our Guest Christine McDannell? Principal | M&A Business Intermediary & Broker▪️Helping business owners achieve seamless exit.
I love creating concepts & businesses from the ground up. That's what motivated me to start one of my earlier companies, Cleanology, in 2003. House cleaning had a horrible reputation and I knew I could make a positive shift in that industry. I started with $300 and a vacuum cleaner. So, after founding, growing, acquiring, raising capital, and selling over 20+ businesses of my own across several verticals including cleaning, health + wellness, beauty, technology (SaaS), exotic car rentals, CoLiving, and real estate, I realized that there was a formula behind the perfect business sale and I LOVE helping others do the same!
It took me decades to perfect a grand-slam system for buying, selling & acquiring companies - one that works. That’s when friends & fellow entrepreneurs came to me wanting help selling their own businesses that I finally agreed to step in and do what I know best. And the rest, as they say, is history.
I now run The Magnolia Firm 🌸, a highly specialized boutique business brokerage firm supporting entrepreneurs through the finish line of the most important steps they will ever take: selling their company.
