What is a “virtual hot seat” in a mastermind group?
In this episode, Scott Joseph explores how the virtual hot seat technique, which he used in his mastermind group, helped him launch a new business from scratch. The virtual hot seat process helps business leaders overcome challenges by providing a structured environment for problem-solving and feedback. For Scott, it forced him to focus on one core challenge, and through clarifying questions and honest reflection, he uncovered that fear—not complexity—was holding him back.
