Retirement planning doesn’t stop when the paychecks do; it changes shape. In this episode, Mitch continues the conversation around the core pillars of retirement and explains how priorities shift as you move from accumulation into distribution. A strong retirement isn’t built on one pillar alone; it’s built on how all of them work together.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

Tax Considerations: Why after-tax income matters more than account balances

Healthcare & Long-Term Care: Planning for medical costs that often rise with age

Inflation Risk: How rising prices quietly erode purchasing power

Sequence of Returns Risk: The danger of market volatility once withdrawals begin

In this inspiring episode of the Lyons Share Podcast, host Mitch Lyons sits down with former NFL linebacker Bryce Paup to discuss his remarkable journey from small-town Iowa to becoming the 1995 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Bryce’s story is the ultimate underdog tale. Growing up in rural Iowa, he graduated from a high school with just 19 students in his class—a team that dwindled to 15 players by season’s end. With no weight room at school, Bryce converted a chicken coop into his personal training facility, welding together his own weight bench to pursue his NFL dreams.

Overlooked by major college programs, Bryce landed at Northern Iowa, where his girlfriend’s friend literally walked up to coaches at a pizza joint to get him noticed. Despite being a sixth-round draft pick with low expectations (he didn’t even get his preferred jersey number), Bryce’s relentless work ethic and faith carried him through adversity—including being benched early in his career—to eventually earn Pro Bowl honors and a historic season with the Buffalo Bills.
