What does it look like to take off, literally and figuratively, when the rules don’t fit your vision?
In this episode of Welcome to the Now, I sit down with Chezka Gonzales — Airbus A320 pilot, global entrepreneur, single mom, and founder of the Philippines’ premier blockchain conference and founding partner of Michael Cinco Auto Artistry. From Manila to Dubai and beyond, Chezka’s journey is proof that the only thing holding you back is the decision to begin.
What you’ll hear:
Her leap from the cockpit to the blockchain space and creative design world — and how she navigated industries that weren’t built for women.
Real talk about motherhood, hustle, and how to sustain high performance without losing your soul.
Why “just starting” can be more powerful than “having it all figured out.”
How presence, faith, and grit helped her build multiple empires — while staying grounded and aligned with her truth.
Whether you’ve been stuck in analysis paralysis, doubting your timing, or waiting for the “perfect moment” — this episode is your wake‑up call:
You don’t need permission. You just need to start.
So...
Take A Breath. You've Arrived. Welcome To The NOW.
