From Addiction to Integration: The Fractal Path of NSFRW
In my work with addiction and human development, I’ve observed that the compulsive behaviors we label as addictions are often rooted in unmet needs and unresolved traumas. Addiction is not simply about substances—it is a broader attachment to what soothes or protects us when life feels overwhelming. The NSFRW framework (Nurture, Security, Freedom, Responsibility, Worship) offers a powerful lens to understand this process, highlighting how we can become “addicted” to necessary phases of growth and the path we must take to integrate them into a balanced and fulfilling life.

TBC 4: The Process for Products
One of the key insights about entrepreneurship in the last decade is that a startup is not just a small version of a established business. Rather, a startup is an organization formed to search for a business model, rather than execute one.
In particular, this implies that startups should be designed to maximize learning by exploiting surprises. This is the exact opposite of a traditional business, which attempts to increase predictability by avoiding surprises.
To get the optimal structure, we need to be clear on:
Which things we need to learn (the problem)
How we are going to learn them (the process)
Who will own the learning (the people)
What will prove we have learned the right lessons (the product)
