How Socks are Changing the World: John and Mark X. Cronin (ep. 718)
Description
In 2018, John Cronin was a 22-year-old entrepreneur with Down syndrome who had a dream to create something life-changing, purposeful and filled with joy. Together with his father Mark, they turned that dream into the world’s largest sock store – John’s Crazy Socks. And yet, John’s Crazy Socks is more than just a business. It’s a mission-driven movement that employs individuals of all abilities and shows the world what’s possible when you focus on inclusion, kindness, and joy.
Today, John and Mark share how they bootstrapped their business into a multi-million dollar venture, advocate tirelessly for people with differing abilities and continue to spread happiness by giving back more than $750,000 to their charity partners.
My friends, you’ll walk away from this conversation with the reminder that small acts of love often make the biggest impact, and that sometimes, a simple pair of socks can change the world.
