Sisters Nikki Thompson Howard and Jaqi Thompson Wright were furloughed from their jobs during the 2019 federal government shutdown, unable to pay their bills or care for their families. With the support of their family, they decided to take a leap of faith and open The Furlough Cheesecake, selling both online and through a brick-and-mortar location in Prince George County, Maryland.

In addition to their first national commercial, notable firsts for these entrepreneurs include:

• Opening their first brick-and-mortar location (The Furlough Cheesecake)
• Earning their first $100,000 (The Furlough Cheesecake)
• Receiving her first patent as a female inventor (the fileist)
• Launching the first marketplace and community to spotlight, sell and support female-invented and innovated products (the fileist)
• Shipping their first international order (Hinterland Skis)
• Witnessing the first perfect stranger using his product (Hinterland Skis)

“This campaign centers on our customers’ journeys. Our goal is to share their firsts to inspire entrepreneurs everywhere and ensure they know, GoDaddy is the partner that always puts you first,” said Fara Howard, GoDaddy Chief Marketing Officer.
