Meet Justin Hidy | A Serial Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Justin Hidy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Justin, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my own business happened in 2008 and that thought was, I was going to let a company or an economy destroy my life or way of living again. I was a Branch Manager for a Land Title Company in Fort Lauderdale, FL in 2008 and I absolutely loved that job. Then the economy collapsed and I had no say in my employment at that time. So I thought to myself that I would start my own Land Title company in one of the worst economies that we have seen and if I can make it through that then I would reap the rewards when the economy turns around. From that point on, I have always thought to myself that I would not let the economy or anyone outside of myself ruin my business. When the economy is turning downward, just like it is right now, you just have to work harder, work longer, do anything that it takes to get that business in the door. Because if you do, just like in the beginning, you will reap the rewards when it all turns around. And it always turns around!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My main business for now is Atypical Title, LLC. We are a Land Title Insurance Company with 2 Brevard County locations but we serve the entire state of Florida. What makes us stand a part from the rest is our focus on Customer Service and Communication. These 2 things are the most important part of any business and we excel in these areas. You can be the biggest, flashiest company out there but if your customer service and communication are not up to par, your customers will find someone else.

The most excited part of being in this business, is what to come next in regards to the blockchain and digital currency in this industry. We are working on things right now that will set us up for the next 20 years! To be able to start a company and then retire from it, has to be the great feeling of accomplishment ever.

The lessons I have learned along the way is, that no matter how much you know or learn, there is always something you didn’t know about running a business. You have to always be learning and trying to new ways to do things or you will get stagnant and fall behind. Pretty much it comes down to the saying, if you aren’t growing, you’re dying. Because there is always someone out there working harder to get where you are.

What I would like the world to know about me and my brand is that the name Atypical is not just our name, it is how we live and work. Being typical is boring! We/I force myself out of the comfort bubble because that is where greatness is found.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was coming to town and they wanted to see a fun time, this is what we would do. We would make a list of all the hole in the wall, family owned restaurants that we have never been to because those places always have the best food. We would walk around 3 different sections in Brevard county and those would be downtown Melbourne, downtown Eau Gallie, and Cocoa Village. Those 3 places have everything you need. From local food, little vintage shops, Art galleries, etc. We would head to Ron Jon’s Surfshop in Cocoa and do a little shopping. We would head West a little bit and do some Air-boat rides to see some gators. Go to Frog bones and do a little indoor shooting range time.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many family & friends to give a shout out to that I could fill this entire page with names so we will just keep it as an umbrella shoutout. To all my family and friends that are reading this right now, Thank You!! Since the first time I even had the idea of starting my own business, you were there encouraging me and pushing me. Even when you weren’t saying anything and just sitting there listening, you were helping. Not only did my supporters help, my haters helped as well. There were some that didn’t think I could do it or even though about helping to see what would happen and to those, Thank you. You made me work harder and hustle longer and through those actions, I achieved more than I imagined, so Thank you again.
