First Generations Podcast
What does it mean to be first-generation? The host, Aaron, defines this term as an individual that has paved their own path and definition of success on their own terms. They pioneered how they wanted to live their life, no matter the hardships they had to experience and endure. No one in our world walks the exact same path. Diving into the personal stories of these guests, we will share the lessons and insights they have accumulated from being First Generation.

David Jonas Armstrong is someone I personally resonate with and is someone that has gone through a lot of adversity and difficulties growing up in Vancouver, BC. I consider his upbringing pretty rough compared to what is deemed a "normal" childhood in society today.
Growing up with a single mother and two sisters, he grew-up trying to fit in and find a place to belong. He has been through many group homes, the juvenile system, and incarcerated. He was exposed to drugs, alcohol, and the impacts it on him and his environment and surroundings while growing up.
He is on our platform today with hopes of sharing his story to give perspective and to help others out there that may be experiencing or know someone that is experiencing something similar. Even with all the adversity and difficulties he has had to face while growing up, he has worked his butt off and is now a Red Seal Journeyman Electrician. On his spare time, you will find him volunteering his time at the local Vancouver soup kitchens and offering his electrician services at cost for those that are less fortunate.
