Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ira Tan. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Ira thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Parents play a huge role in our development as youngsters and sometimes that impact follows us into adulthood and into our lives and careers. Looking back, what’s something you think you parents did right?

One thing my parents did right was always telling me to believe in myself. As cliche as it may sound, but this really stuck with me. They always told me that one thing people couldn’t take away from me is my heart and my brains and I’ve always led with that. Whether it’s learning how to manage my team or my intimate relationships, I’ve always tried to remain true to myself and decisions that I would be able to live with in the end.

Ira, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

We are SSODA SHOP and we are an all organic foot peeling mask company! We specialize in gentle peels using balanced formulations such as lactic acid! It took me over 10 months to formulate and design our brand as I wanted to remove the shame around feet-care! I mean, we use our feet everyday, so why not take care of them?

I actually have a background in skincare as I launched my first brand RRAW Skincare in 2016 in the Philippines and we have been able to cement ourself in the skincare industry in the Philippines since then.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think – Brianna West.

I 1000% recommend this book. Not only does it tackle every aspect of our lives, but every feeling that comes with it.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Probably that it’s okay to make mistakes and it’s okay to change your mind. I mean, we’ve all been there and I feel like sometimes we get fixated on a certain idea or outcome and it’s important to take a minute and reflect and ask ourselves “are we going to be okay?” because if the answer is yes, that’s all you need to know.
