But how can they help with educating younger people? What do you think their job should be?

Jessica PatelGUEST
I think it's a really important piece here, right? When you think about this financial literacy, whether it be in high school, whether it be in college, whether it be after college, if you don't have those, that financial knowledge and that financial wherewithal, you're not gonna be able to do the things that you need to do to succeed, right? And, and like you said, you can look on Google, or you can hope that your parents taught you, but if they didn't, where are you left? And a lot of times, to check that box, you're just given here's a bunch of text.

Jessica PatelGUEST
But it's not engaging, and it doesn't actually teach you how to do the thing, right? It doesn't teach you here's how to go into a bank and open up a bank account.

Jessica PatelGUEST
Here's who you are emotionally with your money, and this is why you're spending the way you are, and that's where it gets really tricky.

Kristen HagopianHOST
What's been the general, uh, you know, comeback from the, from the public on this?

Jessica PatelGUEST
And I think in that, you know, we're not expecting progress to be like linear at certain times.

Jessica PatelGUEST
I think when someone's going through active chemotherapy or radiotherapy, we're not expecting them to be better week on week.

Jessica PatelGUEST
Exercise is there just to help manage side effects of the treatment from that perspective.

Jessica PatelGUEST
And there is some evidence which kind of supports its inclusion for certain things.

Jessica PatelGUEST
So, for example, aerobic exercise has stronger evidence in improving anxiety and depression and helping sleep.

Jessica PatelGUEST
Whereas more resistance training has a little bit has stronger evidence for bone health and lymphedema.

But I think exercise with the anxiety and the depression of of cancer is probably the most powerful thing.
