The Providend Conversation with Singapore’s Iconic Sexagenarian Model

Living a Good Life: Courage, Style, and Entrepreneurship After 60

In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by the lovely Ms Ong Bee Yan, who shares how she blossomed from a shy young woman with low self-esteem into the face of ageless fashion. Joining her is Christopher Tan, our Founder and CEO, who has been a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for over two decades.

Bee Yan started her modelling career at the golden age of 63 and has never looked back since. She is the Founder of 1degreeC, an online cold brew coffee business, together with her husband. On top of that, she also has a clothing line in collaboration with Y21.

Despite the several ups and downs in her personal life, Bee Yan hopes to encourage not just the younger generation but also her peers to always have courage to follow your heart regardless of what society says about your age.

It has been a great privilege to interview Bee Yan and we hope you find her story as relatable and inspiring as we did!
