The Lotus Talks
Welcome to The Lotus Talks!
Hi, let me introduce myself: I am Granger Whitelaw, CEO of the Vietnam Group and I host THE LOTUS TALKS podcast along with my Co-Podcaster Cameron Lynch, and various members of our team from time to time. Our message is about the People and the Companies in Vietnam and S.E. Asia that are making a difference, or “Doing good while doing well” as I like to say.

The S.E. Asia (ASEAN Market) is the fastest growing region in the world right now, and Vietnam is at the center of it all. Just watch any news channel, any day, and you will hear about the growth, the people, the opportunities and the excitement. As we introduce you to the interesting people we meet, the wonderful things they are doing, and the great companies they are building, we hope it can encourage you and perhaps help with your planning, as you join the “golden Age of S.E. Asia”. The truth is discovered in the stories of people working day-to-day from hard times to joy, failure to success, and all that happens in between when you are running ahead in fast paced, high growth environment. We are here to take this ride with you, curves, bump, (pot-holes) and all!The more we can learn about how people and companies get through the tough decisions, the better equipped we are to make smart choices and find our own success

Mason Cobb | a Personal Interview
The fifth Profiles interview of The Lotus Talks with Dr. Mason Cobb, the American surgeon who came to Vietnam 22 tears ago with one mission in mind: to develop an international standard of healthcare in the country. Since then, he has set up Columbia-Gia Dinh Clinic Joint Venture, the first American-based clinic since the war ended, and Victoria Healthcare, the flagship brand with the vision to become “the best healthcare, done at an affordable price.”
