John and Mark X. Cronin built John’s Crazy Socks as a social enterprise with a mission to spread happiness. They recently appeared on the Scaling Mountains Podcast with Kyle Sullivan to discuss the power of a purpose driven business.
John Cronin, co-founder and inspiration for John’s Crazy Socks, was overjoyed at the opportunity to visit the Farm Dog Bakery in Longview, Washington. The Farm Dog Bakery makes dog treats in a beautiful commercial kitchen. Just as importantly, it provides meaningful opportunities for individuals with differing abilities to gain work experience. The dog biscuit bakery is part of larger transition programs operated by Life Works (The Arc of Cowlitz County).
John and Mark X. Cronin, co-founders of John’s Crazy Socks, joined a panel of presenters for the webinar: Envisioning Possibilities: A Panel on Entrepreneurship for the Down Syndrome Community. The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) organized the webinar.
Mark X. Cronin, John’s partner and father, often says that John is a natural entrepreneur. Now, Go Solo, an online journal for entrepreneurs, has featured John and Mark in their digital publication.
