SPRINGFIELD John Cooper was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
The son of a county attorney, and the grandson of a Kentucky Supreme Court Justice, Cooper had everything he needed and almost everything he wanted, he tells the crowd polishing off tacos and rice in a conference room.
Despite a stellar upbringing, Cooper said he still âhad that hole in my soul.â He never felt good enough, he never fit in.
âI was insecure, I felt less than because I never felt I like measured up,â Cooper said. âI still feel like that sometimes.â
But when Cooper got a hold of his daddyâs Makerâs Mark, he had arrived. All those icky feelings went away â he was gregarious, he felt peace, ease and comfort.
