• Cultural insights about baseball as "America's Pastime" and how its metaphors permeate American speech 

• How to use expressions like "beat around the bush," "bite the bullet," and "back to square one" in real conversations

Plus, I'll share an engaging story about a business conference that demonstrates how mastering these expressions can help you navigate professional settings with confidence.
