1078: Beyond Disability: The Crazy Success of John’s Crazy Socks with John and Mark Cronin
John and Mark X. Cronin are the father-son team that created John’s Crazy Socks, a social enterprise with a mission to spread happiness. They bootstrapped their business into the world’s largest sock store. John is not only a business owner, but he has Down syndrome. Every day, John and Mark show what people with differing abilities can do – more than half their colleagues have a differing ability. And they show their gratitude through their Giving Back program that has raised nearly $700,000 for their charity partners. Most of all, they are spreading happiness one pair of socks at a time.
