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).

Their story includes rejected Shark Tank pitches, a Home Shopping Network near-miss, and ultimately finding their sweet spot at Pike Place Market
