Victoria's Company, The Stax
In this soulful episode of Project Connection, Coco sits down with the luminous Victoria Lampley to explore what it truly means to connect — with ourselves, with others, and with the legacies we carry. Together, they reflect on the power of chosen family, the imprint of upbringing on how we relate, and the courage it takes to show up authentically.
Victoria also shares her deep knowledge of mourning jewelry — a beautiful, symbolic tradition that honors loved ones who have passed — and how grief can be a portal to deeper connection. The two explore the delicate balance between work and personal life, the importance of inclusivity in community building, and what it means to leave behind a meaningful legacy.
This conversation is both intimate and expansive — a reminder that connection is not only about where we come from, but also about the people and values we choose along the way.
🫂 Chosen family matters — Connection can be consciously created, not just inherited.
🌱 Upbringing shapes our wiring — But awareness allows us to grow beyond it.
💬 Authenticity invites connection — Vulnerability is the bridge to deeper relationships.
💍 Mourning jewelry as memory — Objects can carry emotional legacy and help us grieve.
⚖️ Work-life balance is ongoing — Creating space for both ambition and presence is key.
🌈 Inclusivity strengthens community — True belonging welcomes difference.
💀 Talking about death is connecting — Legacy and remembrance can deepen our humanity.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
