Togue Brawn -- Gut Instinct
Women's instinct -- a subject that's frequently not taken seriously or looked at askance, and not just by men. However, most of us know from our own personal experience that it's a real thing. We can all remember a time when we didn't listen to that inner voice and were sorry we didn't. And then there was that time we paid attention, and we wished we hadn't.
How much can we rely on our famous gut instinct, especially when it comes to our businesses and our careers? After all, how reliable is it really?
How do we know when to follow our gut?
Togue Brawn graduated from Duke University and went on to obtain her MSc in Marine Policy from the University of Maine. Her love of Maine's commercial fishing industry started early. Her father was a lobsterman based out of Cape Elizabeth, and Togue's first job was selling fish. She has worked with or within the fishing and seafood industry for almost 30 years. She's sold commercial fishing equipment, written for a commercial fishing newspaper, been a French translator at a European seafood exhibition, conducted scientific research at sea, and served as a fishing industry lobbyist and advocate.
Over the past 10 years, Togue has focused her efforts on scallops and has become a passionate advocate for Maine's scallop industry. In addition to heading up Downeast Dayboat, she also does consultancy work. She is currently working with the Maine Coast Fishermen's Association to help them grow their scallop program. In addition, Togue is working with Coastal Enterprises to help them better understand the market for cultivated scallops and develop the market.
