    John & Mark Cronin - John's Crazy Socks

    John & Mark Cronin - John's Crazy Socks

    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 of their colleagues have differing abilities. 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 develop 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.

Kelly Lynn Adams ,

A must listen to!

I love listening to each episode, I love hearing the stories, tips & strategies that are shared it is so helpful for any entrepreneur & business owner.

Scott Ritzheimer ,

You may have started as an accidental entrepreneur, but you don’t have to stay one

When I stumbled on the Accidental Entrepreneur it instantly resonated. I didn’t really mean to start a business, and while I had some success, I used it as a crutch for years. This podcast challenged me to think differently and to be intentional about the growth of my business.
