Welcome to the "You Care Too Much" podcast, where we get curious about those who drive purpose bigger than themselves. This is the place for understanding the mindsets of people who give a fuck, and hearing stories about how they reject the status quo in a world that’s mailing it in.
Hi, I’m Randi Johns, and if I had a nickel for every time I have heard, “you care too much..."
Instead of heeding advice to give fewer fucks, I decided to double down on caring and start a podcast dedicated to elevating the voices of purpose-drivers, world-changers, and all those who reject the status quo, advocate for, and create ways to better the lives of many.
I invite you to join me as I explore the stories behind cool humans doing great things. We will not only learn about their purposes or causes, but uncover and celebrate the "whys" behind what they do and who they are.
However it is that you found your way over here to listen, I am happy to have your ears, hearts, and curiosity, while we create and connect through a community of people, like you, who give a fuck.
Let's connect! Subscribe to "You Care Too Much" and follow us on Instagram and Twitter.

Hello, hello folks! I'm Randi Johns, your host for the "You Care Too Much" podcast, where we get curious about people who drive purpose bigger than themselves. To put it bluntly, this is the place for understanding the mindsets of people who give a fuck and hearing stories about how they reject the status quo in a world that is mailing it in.

Ok. As for intentions... mine, with this podcast, are to inspiring caring and to connect you with like-valued people. In each episode we'll have conversations with cool humans doing things that leave lasting impact and are ready to, not only share their purpose or cause but, their "why" behind what they do, who they are, setbacks overcome, and what drives them to keep at it.

I'll give you a little backstory that I'll elaborate on at a later date (and by later date, I mean episode 1). There have been too many times to count that I have been frustrated, disappointed, and even spiraled a little internally, by being an advocate in a room of complacency. Well, I decided that I'd spent enough time feeling like an outsider who cares too much and instead that it was time to seek out more folks who give a lot of fucks.

What finally pushed me to start this podcast was the little flame in me that gets fanned every time I discover, connect with, and learn more about values and purpose-driven futurists doing interesting and amazing things. Hearing about these people that point the status quo straight to the door makes me want to hold a microphone so close to their faces, chances are there may be some audio feedback. Just kidding, I don't even know if it works that way.

So, that's what you'll find here. "You Care Too Much" is here to elevate the voices, causes, actions, and mindsets of people who care so passionately that "gives a fuck" is the only sufficient way to phrase it. From community drivers, to social entrepreneurs, to the bright spots in your social media feed, these are conversations with those who advocate for, and create things that better the lives of many, whether they really realize it or not.

The goal is that your tank is a little fuller and your own fire burns a little brighter after we've been in your ear. These stories, they may even move you to action that you've been sitting on. What if a community high on caring is the fan for your very own flame? And just one inspiring voice away. What if stories about good people doing good things just make your day better? Either way, you're in the right place. And I'm so glad you're here and willing to challenge the attitudes of those to opt for playing it small.

If you're curious about folks who are doing things to spark and drive positive impact, from moments to movements, please subscribe to the "You Care Too Much" podcast so that you'll know as soon as our first full-length episode launches, and then every one after that. You'll be first in line for the good stuff. In the meantime keep giving fucks, keep being you. And I'll let you in on a little secret... there's no such thing as caring too much. The people who give a fuck (that's you), are the people who change the world.
