very kind. But I also remember that conversation and knowing you now, and knowing how hard difficult conversations are, I was, gosh, it must have taken you forever to come into my office. And I remember in the moment, thinking to myself, john is so special, and in what he what he does, and who he is, as a human, I don't want to lose any of that. And so I remember saying, I will hold this position for you, when you come back. I think the moment that I want to talk about AI, it's on the top of my head, because I just referenced it is, you know, I worked at our local science museum here in Oklahoma City, and I'm going to talk numbers here. And I read and I, my starting salary was $24,500. So this is 2002. And it was a tough time, if you can imagine. So I graduated the year after 911. And the job market was very difficult. And so I was so proud to have a job $24,000 sounded great. And when I was offered my job at OSU, my mentor had called and said, Look, it's a $50,000 job. And at that time, I couldn't even wrap my mind around how much money that was. And I felt so inferior to be able to negotiate that, but I did the same thing. I steeled myself and I went in there and I asked for 50. And my boss, who would be my boss later said, Tell you what, I'm going to give you $48,500 and then let's reassess how we're doing at six months. And then we'll add that 1500 back in there to get you up to 50. You know, if things are going well, and I said, that's great. I mean, he could have said 30,000. And I said yes, which again. But here's here's the real story. Nine months in, I still remember that 1500. And he's completely forgotten about it. And he's never brought it up. And so I am in the office of one of my mentors and incredible woman named Marsha wooden, and something comes up about this. And I kind of confess to her that I haven't gone in and asked for this. And I remember her turning around, and looking me straight in the eye. And she says Becky, and this is again, this is like 2005 probably, she said Becky, women do not fight for their worth in this sector. You have shown up, you have done the work, you have done it well. You need to steel yourself, get your courage and walk in there and ask for it because that is what you're worth. And I remember feeling so jarred by that like, oh, okay, I wasn't aware of that. I walked in, and he said, Oh, my gosh, I completely forgot about it. Yeah, it's done. It was that easy. But it was all about me finding the courage within myself. I feel like Julie ordinates talks about this all the time in her courage lab, it was really about me, it had nothing to do with the organization. So that was a time when I had to negotiate something. And I went in and asked for it. And it was easy peasy.
