I play games for a living. Sorare, MFL, Football.Fun — they’re fun, they’re competitive, and they’re the foundation of my content. But that also means the line between “I’m playing for fun” and “I’m working on content” gets blurry… a lot.In today’s Laird Social Club stream, I’m talking about that balance:• When does playing a game start to feel like work?• When does work start to feel like play?• Is it possible to keep both fun and productive?• And how do I manage it when content creation, strategy, competition, and income all overlap?It’s a conversation about the creator lifestyle, the Web3 fantasy ecosystem, and what it means to turn your hobbies into your job.Join the discussion live — and tell me where you draw the line.🤝 Become a Laird Social Club member today! https://patreon.com/andrewmlairdWant to play the games I play?
