Read about Leslie

“Leslie has so much bloody talent it downright scares me! Her skills are mind-boggling: for a start she’s consumed with creativity – everything she does has a creative twist; she’s a demon with fabric, can make absolutely anything she sets her mind to with dexterity and artfulness; she’s an accomplished carpenter, who can interpret designs and quickly and efficiently bring them to life; she brings a touch of magic to craft projects – she is, in effect, the absolute all-rounder. I know Leslie’s warmth, infectious sense of humor, and creativity will endear her to her new radio audience.”

"The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show continues to stand out not only as the leading program in its field, but as a prime example of just how successful a specialty show within the talk genre can be. Now, the addition of Leslie Segrete joining Tom Kraeutler as co-host really puts it over the top."

“Leslie Segrete is a dynamic individual with a great deal of knowledge and experience in the art of home décor and renovation. For someone to be so young and have the expertise that Leslie does is truly remarkable. Not only is she admired by her fans, but she is a role model for young women everywhere! She is funny, friendly and extremely talented. Leslie teaches both men and women that home projects can be fun and most importantly, with a little imagination you can do anything you put your mind too!”

“We love Leslie Segrete! It is a real honor to have Leslie use our products on the hit TV Show, While You Were Out. She truly inspires her viewers and followers to use their own creativity to make fashions for their homes. As Leslie continues to grow her career, she is also very dedicated to our brand. We appreciate her willingness to bring Husqvarna Viking along for the ride. Leslie is providing us with great marketing opportunities to touch new sewers --- perhaps people who may not have ever thought about thread, needles and fabrics.”

“It has been a delight and pleasure to get to know Leslie Segrete. Leslie is a very positive, talented, gifted and giving individual. She has taken our product, the HeadBoardCraft headboard kit, and demonstrated it in a most professional and detailed manner. This has been very helpful to us in our marketing strategy. We are delighted that Leslie, with her dynamic personality, has taken such a keen interest in our headboards and we look forward to working with Leslie in the future.”
