In this weekend edition: Trying to make and maintain friendships as an adult can be hard; trying to do it during a global pandemic is a whole other feat. The past two years have disrupted our lives in many ways, including our close friendships. Between lockdowns, canceled events, and social distancing, many of us found ourselves physically apart from our closest friends when we needed them most. Some of us gradually drifted away from friends we had once been close to, while other friends became lifelines of support during times of grief and loss. Friendship experts see the pandemic as a time that has tested our closest bonds, reminding us that it's normal for friendships to end. They also emphasize the importance of being seen by a close few, not just for our self-esteem but also for our mental wellbeing. Like a good diet or regular exercise routine, studies show that a healthy friendship can reduce levels of stress and even boost our cognitive health. As the restrictions of the pandemic lift and we begin to attend public events and re-enter social spaces, how do we go about building new friendships? And for the pre-pandemic friendships we already have, how do we strengthen their bond? This week on AirTalk, guest host Kyle Stokes spoke with a leading expert on friendships and author of the book “Frientimacy – How to Deepen Friendships for Lifelong Health and Happiness,” Shasta Nelson about how the pandemic tested our friendships and some ways we can restore them.

You know the names. You know the position. You know the NFL Draft round: First (usually).  Ohio State cornerbacks Bradley Roby (2014), Eli Apple (2016), Marshon Lattimore (2017), Gareon Conley (2017), Denzel Ward (2018), Jeffrey Okudah (2020) and Damon Arnette (2020) all enjoyed first round signing bonus cash. Other starters along the way - Doran Grant (2015-fourth round), Kendall Sheffield (2019-fourth round) and Shaun Wade (2021-sixth round) also heard their names called, albeit later than desired. But this much is clear: If you're an Ohio State starting cornerback, chances are you're headed to the NFL. Really, really good chances.  Word has reached Florida when it comes to cornerback and team success in Columbus. On Wednesday, the Buckeyes received a commitment from cornerback Ryan Turner. He joins  fellow Floridian defensive back Jaheim Singletary and Kyle Stokes in the Class of 2022 haul Ohio State is putting together. Will the Sunshine State takeover continue?

Austin Beutner, who has led the Los Angeles Unified School District through a period of unprecedented tumult, will step down as superintendent after his current contract expires at the end of June. In a letter sent last Wednesday afternoon, Beutner asked LAUSD board members to allow his contract to expire "as planned on June 30." Beutner's decision will plunge the nation's second-largest school district into its sixth leadership transition in a decade. Beutner is LAUSD's third non-interim superintendent in the last 10 years. In his letter, though, Beutner suggested that board members won't have to look far for a replacement. "I believe," Beutner wrote, "the next superintendent of Los Angeles Unified can be found amongst the current team and she or he will be well placed to continue the progress at this critical time." According to Beutner's letter, board members had asked him to consider extending his current contract. He wanted to take the opportunity to leave on what he deemed a high note. "In the meantime," he added, "I will remain focused on the task of ensuring that schools reopen in the safest way possible while helping in a seamless leadership transition." LAUSD board members responded with a warm, joint, unsigned statement thanking Beutner for his three years of service and promising a “robust and equitable search process to find our next leader.” On Friday, the board announced that Megan K. Reilly, who’s been a top financial officer in the Los Angeles Unified School District for 12 of the last 14 years, has been selected to succeed Austin Beutner as superintendent — at least temporarily. Today on AirTalk, Superintendent Beutner stops in to chat with Larry Mantle about his time as LAUSD superintendent, the lessons he learned along the way, the biggest challenges he faced during his time in office and what he hopes his legacy will be as a school administrator.

Elementary students in L.A. County’s second-largest school district — Long Beach Unified — started returning to campuses this week. That’s one of several school district reopenings education reporter Kyle Stokes has been tracking. Long Beach campuses returned students from transitional kindergarten through fifth grade on Monday. Students who don’t choose to remain in distance learning mode will spend two-and-a-half hours with their teacher, either in the morning or afternoon. “The return to in-person classes includes asymptomatic screening for staff and students,” said Superintendent Jill Baker in a video message last week. The Hart Union High School District, which serves Santa Clarita, reopened campuses for blended learning on Monday — with buildings operating at reduced capacity. Glendale Unified students in transitional kindergarten (TK) through second grade will return Monday. Students in third to sixth grade will go back to campuses on April 5. Like in Long Beach, students in Glendale will operate on a “hybrid” schedule. All Downey Unified elementary students will return to campuses on Monday. Today on AirTalk, we check in with officials from some of the districts on how it’s going and what they expect from here. We also want to hear from you. Is your child returning to in-person schooling? What has the experience been like? What are your thoughts and concerns? Give us a call at 866-893-5722. With files from LAist.

I came across Kyle's Instagram a few months ago and was blown away. From our first conversation, I knew Kyle was a perfect fit for the show. He's just an incredibly inspiring individual who is doing amazing things and impacting so many people's lives. Kyle was born with Erb's palsy, which resulted in nerve damage in his shoulder and paralysis of his right arm. Instead of letting his obstacle get the best of him, he's created workout videos on YouTube and the 1in1k community which allows others to share their stories with Erb's palsy. This conversation with Kyle isn't just for those with Erb's palsy; it's for anyone who is dealing with any form of adversity in their lives. What surprised me the most about Kyle, is that he gets it. He understands that the principles he's learned from overcoming Erb's palsy can be applied to all obstacles in your life whether they're physical, mental, emotional, marital, or a combination of them. Many of the lessons Kyle talks about can be applied to all areas of your life. I was honored to interview him and I am so excited to see what he has in store in the future. In This Episode, You Will Learn: How Kyle has taken ownership and pride of his Erb's palsy (5:20) Why we should never live our lives in someone else's hands (6:14) How Kyle fell in love with the gym (8:42) Why it's so easy to fall into the comparison trap (15:32) The purpose behind #1in1k and its impact across the world (21:12) The importance of visualizing your hope (29:11) Why you need to starve your fears (29:58) Why you're wasting your time if you don't apply the lessons you learn (30:56)
