The Me Plus Ultra Hot Seat

Your Toughest Challenge Sparks Breakthroughs, For You and Everyone in the Room

Step into the hot seat, and everything changes.

This isn’t some abstract brainstorm or groupthink echo chamber. In a Me Plus Ultra Virtual Hot Seat, you bring your biggest challenge, opportunity, or decision to the table… and in return, you get something most leaders rarely do: real-time clarity, feedback, and insight from high-level peers who get it.

But here’s the magic…While you’re getting helped, everyone else is leveling up with you. Because the questions they ask you are the ones they should be asking themselves. And the solutions you walk away with often unlock new thinking for everyone in the room.

What You’ll Experience

  • Breakthroughs that shift your trajectory
  • High-trust, no-fluff conversations
  • Real connection with true leaders
  • Clarity to take bold action
  • Strategic insights you can use

How It Works

  1. 1
    Clarify Your Challenge
    Every Hot Seat starts with you presenting a real business challenge - something urgent, complex, or stuck. Explaining it to a room of sharp, experienced leaders forces clarity fast. You stop spinning your wheels and start zeroing in on what matters.
  2. 2
    Get Hit with the Right Questions
    Instead of giving advice, the group asks tough, targeted questions that expose blind spots and shift your thinking. These are experienced leaders who challenge assumptions and help you see what you’re missing.
  3. 3
    Walk Out with Real Answers
    You walk away with clarity and a plan you can act on immediately. And because your challenge mirrors others’ struggles, the entire group gains insights they can use in their own businesses.

Why It Works

  • You’ll stop spinning your wheels and start solving your real problem.
  • You tap into the wisdom of leaders who’ve scaled, pivoted, and fought through what you’re facing.
  • You sharpen your own thinking by hearing how others dissect, question, and rebuild.
  • You gain accountability and momentum from an exclusive community that’s rooting for your success.

What Our Members Say

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a Virtual Hot Seat?
    A Virtual Hot Seat is a structured mastermind session where one member presents a real business challenge, and the group first asks clarifying questions to better understand the issue. Then, they offer advice, share relevant experiences, and present potential solutions. It’s one of the fastest and most powerful ways to gain perspective, clarity, and an actionable plan - without the guesswork.
  • What happens during a Hot Seat session?
    The session starts with the member clearly outlining their challenge. The group then asks clarifying questions - not to challenge them, but to fully understand the root of the issue. After that, members offer insights, opinions, and solutions based on their own experiences. It’s rapid-fire wisdom from people who’ve been there.
  • How is this different from typical coaching or consulting?
    Not even close. You're not getting one person's advice - you’re getting the collective intelligence of experienced leaders who’ve been where you are. It’s not theory. It’s peer-driven problem-solving that leads to real-world solutions.
  • Who leads the Virtual Hot Seat?
    Each session is facilitated by Me Plus Ultra’s founder Scott Joseph and owner Kasey Kohtala, who guide the group through a structured, high-impact format. About 10–14 days before the session, Scott or Kasey meet one-on-one with the Hot Seat participant to clarify the core issue, narrow the focus, and ensure the challenge is framed for maximum value. A prep document is then shared with all members so they come prepared - armed with better questions, deeper context, and real insight. That prep work means the live session is lean on clarification and heavy on real solutions.
  • What types of challenges are best for a hot seat?
    Anything that feels big, complex, or unresolved. Common topics include growth barriers, team issues, pivots, scaling strategies, partnership decisions, or launching something new. If it’s important to your business and you’re stuck or unsure… bring it.
  • What if I don’t feel ready to be in the hot seat?
    You’re not alone, many members feel that way at first. But the format is designed to make you feel supported, not exposed. You’ll get clarity just by preparing, and the feedback you receive is always grounded in trust, respect, and real experience.
  • Do I get value even if I’m not in the hot seat?
    Absolutely. Many members say they learn just as much (if not more) by listening to others’ hot seats. The questions, the process, and the breakthroughs apply far beyond just the person in the spotlight.
  • How often do these sessions happen?
    Me Plus Ultra hosts three high-impact virtual sessions every month, all included with your membership.

    - 1st Wednesday @ 5:00pm EST: Hot Seat
    - 2nd Wednesday @ 5:00pm EST: Process Improvement Hot Seat
    - 3rd Wednesday @ 5:00pm EST: Expert Speaker Session on key business topics

    Each session is designed to deliver clarity, strategy, and community, so you’re always leveling up with purpose.
  • Can members attend just to observe?
    Yes. You’re welcome to attend and observe if you're not the person in the hot seat. Every session offers valuable lessons and insights for anyone running or growing a business.
