Meet 12-Year-Old Entrepreneur and Creative Dynamo Emery McLean

In one of the most heartwarming and inspiring episodes of Small Steps, Big Wins, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with a rising star: Emery McLean, a 12-year-old powerhouse of creativity, curiosity, and entrepreneurial spirit.

At just 12, Emery is already making waves with a successful dog walking business, an impressive record in horse riding competitions, and a love for acting, art, and podcasting. Her story is a living example of how passion, discipline, and small consistent steps can lead to big wins — even at a young age.

🚶‍♀️ From Passion to Profit: The Dog Walking Business

Emery’s journey into entrepreneurship began with something close to her heart: dogs. What started as a simple love for animals turned into a thriving dog walking service in her community. She shares how she got started, how she manages her time, and what she’s learned about responsibility and customer service.

🐎 Lessons from the Saddle

When Emery’s not running her business, she’s training and competing in horse riding — a sport that has taught her the value of patience, persistence, and trust. She opens up about her experiences in competitions and what she’s learned from both the wins and setbacks.

🎨 Creativity in Action

Emery’s artistic spirit shines just as brightly. She talks about her love for drawing and painting, and how she’s exploring ways to turn that creativity into future entrepreneurial ventures. Art, for Emery, isn’t just a hobby — it’s a mindset that inspires her in everything she does.

🎭 Stepping Into the Spotlight

Theater and acting are another avenue where Emery’s boldness and energy come to life. She shares how performing on stage has helped her gain confidence, develop teamwork skills, and find joy in self-expression.

🎙 Curious, Creative, and Confident — Meet the Podcaster

And yes — Emery even has her own podcast! The Emery McLean Podcast is a fun, engaging show where she explores her interests, interviews people she admires, and shares her thoughts with refreshing honesty and humor. Her curiosity is contagious, and she’s already mastering the art of connecting with an audience.

Why Emery’s Story Matters

What stands out most about Emery is her mindset. She doesn’t wait for permission or the “right” moment. She follows her curiosity, takes action, and reflects on what she learns along the way. Her story is proof that you don’t have to be older to start — you just have to be brave enough to begin.

It’s a joyful reminder for all of us: small steps + passion = big wins.
