John and Mark Cronin from John’s Crazy Socks

In this episode of Turning Point, Blaine Bertsch interviews John and Mark Cronin, the father-son duo behind John’s Crazy Socks. In 2016, Mark found himself unemployed at 58, while his son John, who has Down syndrome, was facing the "21-Year-Old Cliff," where school support ends and options are limited. After exploring different ideas, John proposed starting a sock business, inspired by his love for colorful, fun socks. Together, they launched John’s Crazy Socks, combining a business and social mission to spread happiness.

John and Mark discuss their entrepreneurial journey, and the challenges they faced in building a brand that not only sells socks but also spreads happiness and employs individuals with differing abilities. The Cronins share insights on the importance of values in business, the significance of community, and the lessons learned while scaling their operations. Their story is one of resilience, creativity, and a commitment to making a positive impact in the world.
