About SUPERPOWER Podcast

Welcome to SUPERPOWER – the podcast that reveals the unique gifts you bring to the world as a courageous, dynamic leader. Whether you're a creative thinker, an activist, a bold entrepreneur, a driven business owner, or a passionate community advocate, we're here to help you discover what makes you unstoppable. Each week, we'll dive into stories of trailblazing individuals who lead with tenacity, personal style, and fierce authenticity. We'll explore how to tap into your own secret ingredients — your resilience, focus, and purpose, to unleash the hero within. Where do we begin to discover our "authentic" selves when we're buried under all these labels (parent, student, entrepreneur, employee, etc.) that come with their own expectations and, let's face it, a lifetime of self doubt at times? In this podcast, entrepreneur, leader, and inspirational speaker Kristine Milkovich talks with people who are undertaking a journey of self-discovery and finding success along the way. It's a journey that takes enormous courage … and is never truly "finished." But as Kristine says, we all owe it to ourselves to uncover our true gifts. And we owe it to the world to share them. SUPERPOWER is a lively, sometimes gritty, often hilarious conversation about what it takes to create and build a life on your own terms — and how you can find the Superhero in you.

   Ep 20 | Her SUPERPOWER is Human Connection

   Buying a home can feel like stepping into a maze. There are numbers, negotiations, and nerves all tangled together. How do you find your way when it’s your first time? Or when the market feels impossible? This week’s episode of SUPERPOWER brings clarity, heart, and humor to one of life’s biggest financial moves, with insights you’ll want to remember whether you’re buying your first condo or your forever home. Host Kristine Milkovich is in the studio with Dawn Crownover, powerhouse lender with CMG Home Loans and trusted partner to countless clients across the Greater Puget Sound area. Dawn’s journey into finance started with an unexpected detour, from law school dreams to breaking barriers as one of the few women in a male-dominated field. Today, she’s built a reputation for warmth, wisdom, and fierce advocacy. Her “clients for life” philosophy centers on education, honesty, and human connection, the very qualities that have earned her lifelong relationships and a thriving business built on trust. She also shares powerful insights on resilience, authenticity, and the importance of community involvement, from GSBA to The Alliance, as part of her mission to make homeownership inclusive for all.

   Ep 19 | Their SUPERPOWERS are Silliness and Determination

   Can a cookie be more than just a cookie? Keri & Greg Hayes would say yes. In their bakery, Get Baked Seattle, each cookie, and each customer is a new experience. In this episode of SUPERPOWER host Kristine Milkovich, digs into the sweet, messy, and winding journey behind Get Baked Seattle, the bakery on the Hill Climb in Pike Place Market. From gooey protein-packed creations to laugh-out-loud names like “Sir Twix-a-Lot,” Greg and Keri Hayes prove that cookies can spark connection, community, and even a little bit of magic. Greg & Keri share their story of backgrounds in fitness, engineering, and marketing and then the path to owning a cookie shop. They’ve built Get Baked on resilience, risk-taking, and a shared love of creativity (and cookies).
