In this episode of Jamie’s List, Jamie Patricof sits down with independent journalist Aaron Parnas to uncover a remarkable story of transition and media saturation. Aaron sharing his family's perspective during the initial invasion of Ukraine caused him to explode from a practicing lawyer into a digital media powerhouse with over 1 million followers in just one week. But overnight influence comes with an unexpected psychological price tag. Aaron takes us behind the scenes of his 24/7 home tracking war room—where he constantly monitors C-SPAN, live tickers of world leaders, and breaking court records —and opens up about the deep "numbness" required to survive the modern 24/7 news cycle.
