Inspiring Journey of a Father-Son Duo Advocating for Inclusion and Happiness

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 with multi-million dollar revenues. They have been named EY’s Entrepreneurs of the Year.

John is not only a business owner, but he has Down syndrome. John and Mark show what people with differing abilities can do – more than half their colleagues have a differing ability. They are fierce advocates for inclusion having testified twice before the U.S. Congress and spoken at the United Nations. They are sought after keynote speakers, have recorded two TEDx Talks and are frequent guests on network television.

They create unique customer experiences and developed a workplace culture that leads to an engaged workforce. And they show their gratitude through their Giving Back program that has raised over $650,000 for their charity partners.
