The Rise
Show up real. Speak with fire. Shift the energy.
The Rise!
Bold, truth-driven keynotes and business workshops that light a fire under your audience — and create real change long after the mic drops.
This isn’t another business pep talk. It’s a wake-up call — packed with truth, strategy, and fire — for leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams who are ready to stop performing and start leading with purpose.
If you’re ready to elevate how you show up, how you lead, and how you build success that actually feels good, this is where it starts.
Bring Gina to your stage. Transform the energy. Rise the room.

STUCK IS A LIE.
AND “FINE” IS A TRAP.
In business and in life, plateaus aren’t peaceful — they’re paralyzing. And you? You weren’t built for comfortable. You were built to RISE.
Settling might feel safe, but it’s the fast track to burnout, boredom, and a whole lot of “what the hell am I even doing?” I know — I lived in “fine” for way too long. Until I finally said, “Fuck this.”*
The second I stopped settling and started rising? Everything changed.
Fulfillment is louder, bolder, and way more badass than fine.
You in?
Meet Your Mentor: Gina Best.
Gina knows business. She co-founded and still runs a multi-million dollar mortgage brokerage. She’s also a mother to two wild boys. An ex-wife. A crossfit devotee (She deadlifts 400lbs. Whoa.). And recently, a warrior. She fought breast cancer in 2017 and won. So she knows a thing or two about running a business, a household, and a life in a storm.
She also knows how to have it all. Literally. Money in the bank. A healthy net at the bottom of the spreadsheet. And, most importantly, a lit up life. (‘Cause a successful business means jack shit if you’re not living your true desires in every aspect of your life.)
That’s why she created the Best Year program. It’s business coaching driven by a focus on the businessowner. The person and the life behind the biz. Because the business can’t thrive unless you thrive too.
