In this episode of the Quicksilver Generation Podcast, I interview entrepreneur Jane Iyer. Jane is the founder of Jane’s Singapore Tours, a company that offers guided tours of Singapore with a focus on the island’s heritage and history. But what does a republic that’s barely 54 years old really have to offer by way of history? The answer may surprise you. 

Jane also tells me about how she turned away from a successful corporate career in Human Resource Management and decided to embrace her love of history and Asian culture by starting her own company at the age of 60.

In this episode, we interview Singaporean path-breaking veteran journalist, media consultant and author PN Balji. At 70, Balji recently published a book ("Reluctant Editor," Marshall Cavendish International, 2019) on his memoirs as a journalist during the regime of Lee Kuan Yew, founding father of modern Singapore and the island republic's first Prime Minister. In this discussion we discuss Balji's "love-hate" relationship with LKY, press freedom and the state of journalism today. We also talk about how Balji "retired" from working as a full time journalist at the age of 53 and how building a personal brand prepared him for his post-journalism career.

The pilot episode is an interview with Dave McCaughan, ad industry veteran and founder of Bangkok-based marketing consultancy Bibliosexual, who has done extensive research and is an authority on the generation he refers to as “New Life Builders.” 

Dave talks about how today's generation of people 60 and older are breaking stereotypes of those traditionally referred to as "elderly." In Asia, countries are seeing people living longer, enjoying a higher quality of life longer and are creating a new market of consumers with strong spending power and the leisure time to enjoy it.
