Season 4, Episode 17
We have plenty of Rice families in our history. But it's rare to see a mother and daughter earn their Professional MBAs simultaneously. Misty Fehler and Alexis Weaver graduated in May and co-founded La Mer Macaron, offering an assortment of homemade macarons for home delivery.
Misty is the CEO of La Mer Macaron. She spent most of her career as an independent petroleum landman for various companies in Texas, before pivoting to nursing. In 2023, she left nursing and co-founded La Mer Macaron with her family.
After years of working in public and behavioral health, Alexis eventually left those industries to launch La Mer Macaron with her mom, and is the vice president.
Our host Maya Pomroy ’22 catches up with this mother-daughter powerhouse to discuss their motivations, the challenges of balancing family life with education, the importance of collaboration and the inception of their macaron business. The conversation highlights the support system within their family, their experience at Rice Business and their aspirations for the future.
