Request Steve to Speak
A woman in a red blazer and dark pants is talking to an elderly man with white hair and glasses at a table. The table has a stack of green books titled "Start in Your Backyard" and a small sign about Steve Nygren. The man is smiling, with a cup of coffee, a glass of water, and a pen in front of him. The woman is gesturing with her hands while holding a copy of the book. The background shows an indoor event setting with other people.
