What happens when your day job pays the bills—but your night job feeds your soul?
Meet 8BitBlood, a full-time analytics pro and full-time creator—who’s living the double life as a night shift content creator.

We dive into his creative process, time management strategies, personal storytelling, and why he believes legacy matters more than likes.

• How storytelling, not virality, fuels 8Bit’s content
• What it takes to balance creativity with a demanding 9–5
