What happens when success makes you soft? In this episode of Cut The Tie, Thomas Helfrich sits down with Antwon Davis, founder of 4THPARK and Enclave Co-Living, to talk about the uncomfortable, necessary act of redefining manhood, discipline, and purpose.

From building two successful businesses to stepping into a new season of personal leadership, Antwon opens up about the ties he’s cut—from generational norms to physical complacency—and how he’s actively rebuilding his life with ruthless intention. If you’re a man in midlife searching for more than money, this one will hit home.


About Antwon Davis

Antwon Davis is a serial entrepreneur based in Atlanta, Georgia. He’s the founder of 4THPARK, a digital intelligence agency helping organizations build exceptional brand systems, and Enclave Co-Living, a real estate venture addressing mid-tier housing needs for students, young professionals, and remote workers.

In this episode, Thomas and Antwon discuss:

  • Cutting the family script
    Antwon breaks the mold as the first documented entrepreneur in his family, choosing business ownership over traditional career paths.
  • How 4THPARK was born from identity and intention
    He shares how the agency name reflects his personal journey—launching his business in the “fourth phase” of discovering purpose.
  • Reclaiming manhood through brutal discipline
    Now in his late 30s, Antwon talks about the new tie he’s cutting: the loss of edge and intentional masculinity—and how he’s rebuilding it.
  • Tactical alignment for daily clarity
    From gratitude journaling to sovereign man affirmations, he walks through the morning rituals anchoring his mindset and productivity.

  • Your environment is either fuel or friction
    From food to apps to music, everything around Antwon is chosen with purpose to sharpen his edge.
