Businesses are built. Entrepreneurs, however, are born, not made. From Hersh's first exchange with John and Mark Cronin, he recognized that their genius lay in their commitment to one goal - Spreading Happiness - and the joy they bring to the pursuit. This interview is for anyone who ever wondered what life is really about, and where the purpose meets the road.
Founded in 2016, their business, John’s Crazy Socks (see below for discount code, thanks guys!), is a social enterprise with a mission to spread happiness. They bootstrapped their business into the world’s largest sock store earning them recognition as EY’s Entrepreneurs of the Year. The company has 240,000 Facebook followers and over 29,000 five-star reviews.
