John & Mark: Differing Abilities Creates a Family Business

John and Mark X. Cronin are the founders of John’s Crazy Socks. John was diagnosed with Down Syndrome at birth and when his last year of high school was coming to a close, he approached his father about wanting to go into business with him. Through many ideas they landed on what is now the largest sock business with over 4,000 designs. The business has a mission to spread happiness where over half the employees have differing abilities, 5% of earnings go towards the Special Olympics, and the business is always personal.
