It was August 25, 2006, my first on-camera studio open for the CBS News broadcast 60 Minutes. Executive Producer Jeff Fager poked his head in the dressing room. Good luck, Brotha You've come a long way to get here. You've earned it.
...If only he knew. My mind flashed back to elementary school, when a therapist had informed my mother, I'm sorry, Mrs. Pitts, your son cannot read.
In Step Out on Nothing, Byron Pitts chronicles his astonishing story of overcoming a childhood filled with obstacles to achieve enormous success in life. Throughout Byron's difficult youth--his parents separated when he was twelve and his mother worked two jobs to make ends meet--he suffered from a debilitating stutter. But Byron was keeping an even more embarrassing secret: He was also functionally illiterate. For a kid from inner-city Baltimore, it was a recipe for failure.
Pitts turned struggle into strength and overcame both of his impediments. Along the way, a few key people stepped out on nothing to make a difference for him--from his mother, who worked tirelessly to raise her kids right and delivered ample amounts of tough love, to his college roommate, who helped Byron practice his vocabulary and speech. Pitts even learns from those who didn't believe in him, like the college professor who labeled him a failure and told him to drop out of college. Through it all, he persevered, following his steadfast passion. After fifteen years in local television, he landed a job as a correspondent for CBS News in 1998, and went on to become an Emmy Award-winning journalist and a contributing correspondent for 60 Minutes. Not bad for a kid who couldn't read.
From a challenged youth to a reporting career that has covered 9/11 and Iraq, Pitts's triumphant and uplifting story will resonate with anyone who has felt like giving up in the face of seemingly insurmountable hardships.

A nice bar of soap
Style: Palo Santo, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I originally picked this up because I’m a big fan of the bourbon and oak scent, and this didn’t disappoint. It smells great without being overpowering, and it sticks around just enough without feeling like cologne. The exfoliating texture is solid too. It actually works without being too rough. It also lasts a long time, which was a nice bonus.

Amazing Lather
Style: Italian Bergamot, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This product produces a silky smooth foamy lather effortlessly without melting-down the bar too rapidly. I think it's somewhat unique in this way. Smell is there but not overly aggressive, not overly drying either but effectively cuts body oils. Will buy again again for sure.

I'm in love with this scent for winter! My skin feels great, smooth & clean. Large bar of soap which i love and how it smells a tad musky & woodsy. * was worth it! I was out walking i. 30" of snow sweaty in my snow suit...I still smell great! * 4/2026 my 2nd purchase was Italian bergamot...yes it smells fabulous! I am so excited that I have a great new scent that's definitely giving Spring vibes.. lemony & fresh kind of like how that grass smell is musty but fresh.
