Getting Down With Purpose

What’s Possible: A Father, A Son, and a Movement for Inclusive Employment

Craig Sweeney Season 2 Episode 6

In this powerful conversation, Mark and John Cronin—father and son—share what’s possible when belief meets opportunity. Known for building the wildly successful John’s Crazy Socks, their mission has grown far beyond one business and into a movement centered on advocacy, employment, and dignity for people with Down syndrome and other disabilities.


Mark and John speak openly about creating real opportunities in the workforce, helping individuals not just get a job—but succeed in it, grow within it, and achieve life goals that once felt out of reach. Their message is clear: inclusion isn’t charity, it’s strength—and businesses that open their doors will be better because of it.


This episode is an invitation to parents, educators, business owners, and advocates alike. What they’ve built is possible for others, too—and the more people who understand that, the more lives we can help change.
