We had the good fortune of connecting with Gold Porter and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Gold, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of Riveter Consulting has been our unwavering commitment to understanding and catering to the unique needs of ultra-high-net-worth families and individuals. A key part of our approach is the belief that there’s always enough business to go around, and success is built on collaboration rather than competition. By working with other agencies and specialists in the industry, we can offer our clients the very best, drawing on the expertise of those who may have better options for specific needs. We also give the employees total autonomy to make decisions that they feel best fit our brand, trusting in their intuition. This flexibility allows them to flourish and gain essential business practice skills, creating a more bespoke experience for our clients. This level of trust and collaboration sets us apart, along with our innovative approach, which keeps us ahead of industry trends and continuously evolving.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My journey into entrepreneurship was shaped by a combination of synchronicity and an openness to the opportunities that life presented. The creation of Riveter Consulting was a natural extension of my passion for fostering meaningful connections between people. I’ve always had an innate ability to recognize when someone has a need and to connect them with the right person or resource to address it. There’s nothing more fulfilling for me than providing a solution that enhances someone’s life.
What has guided me throughout this journey is my belief in following the signs that the universe offers and trusting my intuition. This approach has not only led me to where I am today but has also allowed me to build a business that aligns with my core values. It’s this combination of being attuned to the opportunities around me and acting on them with intention that has been key to my success.
Getting to where I am today has been anything but easy, yet the challenges we’ve faced have helped shape Riveter Consulting into the dynamic company it is today. While we began as a boutique placement agency, we soon identified opportunities to expand into other verticals, such as payroll and education services. This transition wasn’t seamless—it demanded agility, a reevaluation of our business model, and a deep understanding of the evolving needs of our clientele.
What allowed us to overcome these challenges was a commitment to collaboration and innovation. By working with specialists and trusting my team’s autonomy, we were able to navigate those growing pains while maintaining a sharp focus on our clients’ needs. Empowering my team to make decisions and trusting their intuition has been invaluable.
Along the way, I’ve learned that adaptability is crucial. The ability to pivot when necessary and embrace change with confidence has been a key factor in our success. Another important lesson is the power of collaboration. I firmly believe that there’s always enough business to go around, and by working with the right partners, we can provide even better options for our clients.
What I want the world to know about Riveter Consulting is that we are more than just a service provider—we are constantly evolving, finding new ways to meet the unique needs of ultra-high-net-worth families. Our story is one of resilience, growth, and an unwavering commitment to delivering bespoke solutions that truly make a difference.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Miami is an incredible city with so much to offer, from its vibrant culture and cuisine to its exciting nightlife. If my best friend were visiting for a week, I’d make sure they had the best experience possible.
We’d start the trip by staying at my favorite spot in South Beach, the 1 Hotel. It’s perfect for guests, with an incredible fitness facility and multiple pool decks, including a lively rooftop with a day club vibe. Mornings would begin with a peaceful stroll along the beach or boardwalk to grab a coffee, followed by some poolside relaxation. For dinner, I’d book us a table at Jaya at the Setai, where we’d enjoy a sultry burlesque and acrobatic show that perfectly captures Miami’s electric energy.
The next day would be all about exploring Miami. We’d rent city bikes, which are conveniently located on nearly every street corner, and ride through the South Beach neighborhoods, stopping at local cafés and boutiques along the way. By late afternoon, we’d head to Wynwood, one of Miami’s most eclectic neighborhoods, known for its street art, culture, and food. After touring the famous graffiti murals, we’d dine at Fabel, a rooftop restaurant serving delicious Mediterranean dishes in an open-air setting with DJ beats and a Tulum-inspired atmosphere.
For our final day, I’d rent a private boat for a cruise around Star Island, where we could admire the stunning mansions and dream about life on the water. We’d spend the day sipping cocktails and soaking in the Miami sun, then dock at Seaspice, a waterfront restaurant known for its lively atmosphere, complete with music, dancing, and fantastic drinks. It’s the perfect way to end an unforgettable trip in Miami.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’ve been fortunate to have a supportive network throughout my journey, and there are a few people and influences who truly deserve recognition. First, my husband, whose business expertise has been invaluable in building out our CRM and scaling the payroll side of the business.
I also want to extend a special acknowledgment to the remarkable team at Riveter Consulting. Each member has played a pivotal role in our success, contributing their dedication, intuition, and unwavering commitment to excellence. The trust and professionalism they demonstrate daily is the reason I can provide them with the freedom to make decisions and thrive.
Additionally, I’m inspired by the collaborative professionals and specialists in our industry who have shared their expertise and partnered with us to provide the highest quality service to our clients. Without them, we wouldn’t have been able to deliver such a bespoke experience to those we serve.
Finally, I draw inspiration from the visionaries and thought leaders whose work reminds me that there’s always a new horizon to strive for. Whether through books, articles, podcasts or simply observing the industry landscape, I’m constantly learning and evolving, and I owe much of my success to that mindset of continuous growth.”
