Neural connections rapidly develop in early childhood, but the brain continues to grow and refine these connections throughout our lives, even into older adulthood. That's why enriching experiences — such as traveling, socializing, education, and exercise — are particularly impactful for the brain and need to keep happening throughout our lives. Staying engaged is the topic of discussion this week on Dr. Greg Davis on Medicine. Elizabeth Rhodus, Ph.D., is an occupational therapist and assistant professor in UK's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging.

Do you ever feel like your writing has to be perfect before you can share it? You're not the only one. Many first-time authors get stuck revising the same sentences over and over. But here's the truth: your first draft isn't supposed to be perfect—it's supposed to get your ideas out of your head and onto the page. Writing a book is a journey. It will challenge you, grow your voice, and shape your message. The most important thing you can do is keep going, even when it feels messy. That's how you build something worth refining.

More than two decades ago, measles — a highly contagious and potentially deadly childhood disease — was declared eliminated in the United States.

This is episode 75! And I'm thrilled to introduce my guest today. He is a true pioneer in the field of behavioural finance, Dr. Greg Davies. Greg is the Head of Behavioural Finance at Oxford Risk and has spent his career shaping how we understand investor psychology, financial decision-making, and the emotional complexities that come with managing money—especially in retirement. In this episode, we'll explore the behavioural traps that retirees often fall into, how to build financial resilience, and why understanding your own psychology is just as important as having a well-structured portfolio. Throughout our conversation, Greg and I explore the multifaceted aspects of retirement planning, emphasizing the importance of guaranteed income and its psychological benefits. We discuss how behavioural finance plays a crucial role in spending habits during retirement, the impact of inflation on purchasing power, and the distinction between risk and volatility in investment strategies. We also touch on future trends in retirement planning, particularly the potential need for and benefits of health insurance and a shift in focus from bequest to spending during retirement. Key Takeaways Greg Davis shares his journey from economics to behavioral finance. Behavioral finance combines psychology, economics, and finance. The importance of practical applications of behavioral science in finance. People often make poor financial decisions due to cognitive biases. Simplifying complex financial concepts is crucial for better decision-making. Emotional comfort plays a significant role in financial decisions. Retirement planning today is more complex than in previous generations. Technology can help simplify financial decision-making processes. Understanding personal values is essential for effective retirement planning. The removal of guaranteed income streams complicates retirement planning. Financial advisors often overlook the emotional aspects of retirement planning. Guaranteed income can alleviate fears of running out of money. Behavioral finance significantly influences spending habits in retirement. People with guaranteed income tend to spend more comfortably. Inflation poses a significant risk to retirement savings. Understanding the difference between risk and volatility is crucial for investors. Many retirees are too conservative with their investment strategies. Health insurance will become increasingly important in retirement planning. The focus of retirement planning is shifting from bequest to spending. Planning for retirement should consider both financial and emotional factors.

Despite the setbacks, wide receivers Skyler Bell and TJ Sheffield were bright spots. Mark Zanetto w/ guest host Greg Davis,  discuss broader concerns, including NIL investments and discipline problems, and look ahead to the Merrimack game as a potential turning point. They emphasize the need for better execution, disciplined play, and a cohesive game plan to improve the season outlook. Tune in for an in-depth analysis of UConn's path to success and what needs to change for a turnaround. Segment 1: The Maryland Debacle UConn Huskies Football faces a tough start with a crushing 50-7 loss to Maryland. The hosts describe the season opener as an "outright debacle," noting how unprepared the team looked. Offensive struggles were evident, with a lack of a consistent run game and numerous dropped passes. The offense's inability to sustain drives left the defense on the field for extended periods, exacerbating the team's problems. On the defensive side, poor tackling and giving up big plays were major issues. The hosts question whether the coaching staff had adequately prepared the team for the game, raising concerns about the overall readiness and discipline of the squad. Despite the challenges, wide receivers Skyler Bell and TJ Sheffield stood out as rare positives in an otherwise disappointing performance. Segment 2: Coaching, NIL Investments, and Discipline Concerns The discussion shifts to broader issues affecting the team, including coaching and preparation. The hosts debate whether the coaching staff is effectively utilizing the talent on the roster and if the game plan was suitable for facing a team like Maryland. They also touch on UConn's increased investments in NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals, which have raised expectations for better performance on the field. Discipline issues are another focal point, with the hosts citing targeting penalties and missed tackles as signs of deeper problems. They question whether there might be underlying discipline problems within the team that need to be addressed to improve overall performance. The segment concludes with a look at how these factors could impact the team's future games and overall season outlook. Segment 3: Looking Ahead to Merrimack and Season Prospects In the final segment, the hosts discuss the upcoming game against Merrimack as a potential "get right" game for UConn. They outline what they'd like to see from the team to feel more optimistic about the season. Key areas for improvement include better execution on both sides of the ball, more disciplined play, and a more cohesive game plan from the coaching staff. The hosts also analyze UConn's schedule, identifying potential opportunities for wins against other struggling teams. They emphasize the importance of the Merrimack game as a chance for the Huskies to build confidence and momentum. The episode wraps up with a call to action for fans to stay engaged and hopeful as the team works to turn the season around. UConnFootball #CollegeFootball #NCAA #UConnHuskies #FootballSeason #SportsAnalysis #MarylandVsUConn #NILInvestments #CoachingStrategy #FootballPodcast #SeasonOutlook #MerrimackGame #TeamDiscipline #SkylerBell #TJSheffield #FootballFans #GameDay #SportsTalk #HuskiesNation
