Michaelson and Bohn have a meeting called "Breakfast and Feelings." It's where the partners can catch up, discuss the business, prioritize and figure out what needs to get done and who needs to do it. On top the meeting, Michaelson and Bohn also use the online tool Trello to keep track of workflows and meet to discuss progress and get feedback.
