THROWBACK EXCLUSIVE: A Little Something Extra with John & Mark Cronin
Back to school = back to socks! In this heartwarming and entrepreneurial episode, we sit down with the dynamic father-son duo behind John’s Crazy Socks, Mark and John Cronin!
Mark shares his personal journey as a father to John, who has Down syndrome, and how their search for meaningful opportunities sparked something bigger than either of them could’ve imagined. What started with hand-delivering colorful socks door-to-door turned into one of the most beloved, and impactful, sock companies in the world.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
Their humble beginnings and big dreams
The drive to create real, meaningful careers for people with intellectual disabilities
How John’s Crazy Socks grew into a global movement for inclusion
What it really means to follow your passion and bring others along for the ride
This is a story of love, hustle, and purpose. One that proves when we see potential where others don’t, we all win.
Whether you're gearing up for a new school year, a change in season, or just looking for a boost of inspiration, this episode reminds us all to lead with kindness, chase big dreams, and never underestimate what’s possible!
