Humble backgrounds are one of the reasons that Derek Wyse, Jay Jones and Chad Burns are close friends. They all grew up with family that worked hard to make sure that they had a roof over their heads, and that they never went without food or clothing. They may not have been brought up with a lot of material wealth, but they were rich with family and love. In this episode the three of them talk about their experiences growing up in modest low income households.     #lifelessons #humble #novascotiastrong #community #friends
