  • Relationships that Last: Romantic Edition

    Relationships that Last: Romantic Edition
    Mar 17 2026
    I met Michael and Brittany Hughes years ago, and watching their relationship up close has always been a reminder that lasting love is built on choices, not momentum. They first met as college students at Arizona State University while working for the same organization. What began as a workplace friendship grew steadily, shaped by time, conversation, and trust. They dated for six years before marrying in 2011, and last November marked 20 years together.

    Today, they’re raising three girls in Chandler, Arizona: two daughters (13 and 10) and a 16-year-old bonus daughter they’ve had legal guardianship of for five years. Life is busy, but they make space for what keeps them connected—weekly dates, family trips, movie nights (especially thrillers), new restaurants, and cooking at home.

    They’re both educators now, teaching at the same high school in Phoenix. Michael is in his 18th year of teaching and holds a Master’s in Education in Integrated Curriculum. Brittany spent 15 years in post-secondary finance, rising to a Director role, before changing careers five years ago; she’s now in her sixth year teaching.

    In Episode 7 “Relationships that Last: Romantic Edition,” I sit down with them to talk about what it really takes to build a relationship that lasts—moving at a pace that fits, communicating with intention, handling outside pressure, navigating conflict, and staying connected as life changes.

    Chapters:

    00:00 - Introduction
    00:06 - "Phenomenal Teacher and Fearless Advocate"
    03:35 - Admiration for Two Wonderful Friends

    45:36 - "Relationships: Build a Strong Foundation"
    46:45 - Outro

    Quotes:

    Jonathan Moore:
    “Love isn’t something that just happens to us. It’s something we actively cultivate. When love meets grace, vulnerability, and communication, it has the power to last.”

    Michael Hughes:
    “You absolutely have to know yourself, be comfortable with yourself, like the person you see in the mirror. If you want a lasting relationship, remember that it takes time–and you have to put that time in.”

    Brittany Hughes:
    “You have to like them as a person as they are right then and not who they were or who they could be, because that’s who you’re going to get— that person right now. Communicate, grow together, and continue how you started.”

    Key Takeaways:

    Start with Communication
    Move at Your Own Pace
    Know Yourself Before You Love Another
    Handle Conflict with Compassion and Patience
    Keep Growing Together
    Prioritize Connection, Every Day

  • Relationships that Last: Friendships

    Relationships that Last: Friendships
    Mar 10 2026
    Welcome to "Return to Moore." I’m Jonathan Moore, and in today's episode, I’m sharing a true story about friendship—how it’s tested, how it changes, and what it takes to last. You’ll hear about Christina and Trinity, two friends whose bond was shaped by loyalty and conflict, from high school all the way to a wedding day that pushed them apart for years.

    To unpack what really makes friendships endure, I’m joined by Dr. Ashley Piwowarski, a licensed psychologist and a longtime friend of mine. Together, we explore the real dynamics behind lasting relationships—how early life patterns influence our connections, why some friendships survive challenges while others fade, and what we can do to repair trust when things get hard.

    We discuss the concept of "goodness of fit," how conflict often goes unspoken, and practical ways to maintain healthy boundaries. You’ll come away with a clearer view of what helps friendships grow, how to navigate tension, and why keeping things light matters as much as being intentional. This is an honest look at the work—and the rewards—of real friendship.

    00:00 – Introduction

  • Leadership Matters: The Power of Mentorship

    Leadership Matters: The Power of Mentorship
    Mar 3 2026
    No one satisfying career was built alone. Somewhere along the way, someone said the right thing at the right time, or pulled you aside before you made a mistake you couldn't undo.

    For me, that someone was Dr. Ann Hart.

    Our paths first crossed through a character education grant. I was a principal in South Phoenix. She was in leadership at the State Department of Education. What started as a campus visit turned into a conversation, and that conversation turned into a mentorship that would carry me through one of the most challenging transitions of my career.

    In this episode of Return to Moore, "Leadership Matters: The Power of Mentorship," Dr. Hart and I sit down to trace the full arc of that relationship—from the early moments of sizing each other up to the texts, phone calls, and honest conversations that followed. We talk about what it means to mentor without a safety net, as Dr. Hart did for most of her career. We talk about why mentees disappear after getting advice, and what happens when they do. And we get specific: what to wear, what to read, how to take feedback, and when to leave.

    If you've ever wondered what separates people who grow from people who stall, this conversation lays it out plainly—through two people who lived it.

    Chapters:
    00:00 – Introduction
    00:06 – Mentor's Visit and Observations
    05:55 – Leadership Transition and Mentorship
    09:43 – Navigating Workplace Perceptions and Bias
    11:02 – Mentorship and Career Reflections
    15:02 – Mentorship and Self-Guided Learning
    17:37 – Insights from Mentorship Dynamics
    21:01 – Mentorship as a Cheat Code
    24:33 – Mentorship Requires Constructive Feedback
    30:27 – Key Tips for Effective Mentorship
    33:28 – Mentorship: Showing Up and Empowering
    35:01 – Workplace Identity and Accomplishments
    37:59 – Mentorship: Growth Through Connection
    38:38 – Outro

    Quotes:
    Jonathan Moore:
    "Growth is never done in isolation. It's always accelerated when you have people in your corner who believe in you."

    Dr. Ann Hart:
    "Share your successes, but also your challenges—because that's what helps you achieve your success."

    Key Takeaways:
    Mentorship Is a Game Changer
    Active Mentorship Creates Impact
    Feedback and Follow-Up: The Mentee’s Playbook
    Character Counts Above All
    Self-Mentorship Builds Resilience
